The global leader in innovative lifting solutions, Vacuworx Vacuum Lifting Systems can handle up to 10 times more material than conventional lifting methods—in half the man hours—making it possible to complete projects ahead of schedule and under budget. All heavy-duty Vacuworx systems feature wireless remote operation and 360° rotation, offering a safer alternative to traditional rigging while keeping personnel out of harm's way. Standard lift capacities available up to 25 tonne. Custom vacuum lifting solutions available upon request.

Pros & Limitations

Replaces unsafe and time-consuming lifting mechanisms such as hooks, slings or chains

Allows faster load and unload cycles with less downtime than conventional methods

Eliminates the need for workers to climb on trailers to attach slings or chains and requires fewer ground personnel

Lifts material without displacing adjacent pieces

Creates a powerful positive engagement of the load (hooks, slings and chains can shift or come loose, endangering employees)

Reduces the need for costly cribbing or spacers for pipe or plate

Will not damage delicate materials and bonded coatings

Indicates unsafe lifting environments with visual and audio alarms

State-of-the-industry online training program offers operation, installation and maintenance instruction

Material being lifted must be non-porous and reasonably smooth
