• Normally suspended from a hoist or crane, as they do no lifting themselves
• Lifting capacities up to 10,000kgs

Materials Handling also have two product specific Vacuum Lifters: Vacuum Plate Glass Handlers and Vacuum Building Panel Handlers.

OKTOPUS Plate Glass and Building Panel Handling

• Load capacities up to 1,250kg, for the following installations:
• Cladding and Ceiling (vertical, horizontal and ceiling installations)
• Safe building panel and Plate glass handling during facia
• Composite panels
• Glass plates
• With this vacuum technology, handling devices can be supplied crane suspended, forklift mounted or tele handler mounted
• Oktopus vacuum liftersare supplied with current certification for testing to Australian lifting regulations
• All Oktopus vacuum handling devices have DUAL vacuum powered suction frames, for maximum safety on building sites

Advantages of using Vacuum Lifters and Vacuum Handling Equipment

• Requires smaller installation teams
• Increased working safety
• Relief for workers from heavy lifting
• Shorter installation times through increased mechanization
• Maximum safety on building sites
• No damage to product integrity, edges or surface finish. Product is only in contact with soft rubber of suction head
• Plates and panels can be lifted directly from a pack into a wall or ceiling position in moments.
