Managing director
A 3 Definitions
Operator Person or persons who operate and utilizes the vacuum lifter.
Lifting device Lifting crane, overhead crane, forklift truck or any other, well or not into a machine integrated
lifting arrangement, where the vacuum lifter is suspended on and lifting tasks are being
executed.
Load The object being transported and/or handled by the vacuum lifter.
Working load
Limit The maximum weight of the load which can be transported safely with the vacuum lifter
Suction By actuating a valve, sucking the load fixed to the suction pad.
Aerating By actuating a valve, releasing the load by enabling air flowing to the suction pad
Maintenance
expert Expert who is responsible for inspection, maintenance and repair of the vacuum lifting device.
Load ratio Ratio between the maximum calculated load which can be lifted with the device and the safe
working load which is indicated on the device.
Testing ratio Ratio between the load, used for the static test of the vacuum lifter and the safe working load
indicated on the device
Static
test Test where the vacuum lifter should withstand a static force equivalent to 2x working load
limit without permanent deformation and after removal of the force, there shall be no visible
defects.
Holding time
Test With the suction pad in vertical position, a (non porous) load corresponding the working load
limit is lifted. After this, the main switch is switched off so the vacuum pump will not run
anymore. The vacuum lifter should be able to hold the load for a prescribed time.

B 2 Operating limits
Lifting capacity max. 800kg, but actual S.W.L depends of the total lifting capacity of the active
suction pads required for the job specific configuration.
Own weight c.a. 100kg
Load Steel faced composite roof and wall panels. It may also be possible to lift other non
porous materials but it is recommended that test lifts are performed.
The suction area may be flat as slightly structured.
The suction pad seal can compensate (when not too rough) unevenness’s up to 5mm.
Capabilities - 90otilting from horizontal to vertical with locking facility in vertical position.
Operation elevation Max. 1.200 m. above sea level (if higher, settings vacuum switch needs to be adapted).
Operating
Temperatures 0oC to +40oC
-10oC to 0oC with special precautions.
Service life At least 20.000 cycles 10 years, when properly maintained and used as intended.
Outside use This lifter can also be used outside, however not in area with explosive danger.
Rain and snow This lifter may also be used in rain and snow conditions, however there should be
taken care that excessive water, snow and ice is removed from the suction area.
Water or ice strongly reduces the necessary friction between suction pad and load.
This friction is essential to lift the load in vertical position of the suction pad.
Wind Do not use this lifter at wind speeds above 11 meter/sec.
The maximum wind speed will reduce as panels get longer.
See wind speed tables per machine configuration.
Non rigid plates This lifter is not suitable to lift non rigid plates.
( plate can peal of from the suction pad causing to release the load.
Extra regulations according CE standard EN 13155
When this lifter is being used for the erection, renovation or demolishing of buildings
or other building constructions, the use of a falling safety device is required.
