Vacuworx International, an expert in
vacuum lifting, has a solution to meet
the requirements of contractors and
manufacturers who are faced with
increasing demands for safer and more
efficient job sites.
The company’s products are used
in many industries, including field
applications, manufacturing facilities
and storage facilities.
Vacuworx lifters can be attached to a
number of carriers, such as excavators,
wheel or track type loaders, cranes,
pipelayers and forklifts.
They are designed to operate with a
material specific pad assembly that can
accommodate many types of material,
such as steel pipe, plastic pipe, concrete
pipe, flat steel plate, concrete slab,
steel tanks and coated pipe. The lifting
pads utilise a special seal material to
protect the coating from damage while
providing a secure and safe lift.
A closed frequency wireless remote
control system provides the equipment
operator with the ability to manoeuvre
the material being lifted from the host
machine with precision and with no
additional personnel required.
A number of additional fail-safe features
are also incorporated, including visual
and audible low vacuum alarms, and a
reserve vacuum tank.
Models are available with capacities
from 3 tons to over 20 tons.
