PIPE VACUUM LIFTING MACHINE

Vlentec has a range of light and heavy-duty vacuum pipe lifters to drastically increase worksite safety and cut pipe handling time by a factor of 10! By using a vacuum pipe lifter, attributes such as hooks, magnets, chains, and slings are replaced by one or more suction pads to lift Pipes. The suction pads are available for all pipe dimensions. Our vacuum lifters are outstanding for lifting steel, composite, concrete, and coated pipes. All vacuum pipe lifters are equipped with a vacuum tank. By opening a valve, a vacuum arises between the suction pad and the pipe. Because of the pressure difference between the inside and outside, the suction pad will 'suck' itself against the load. The lifting capacity is determined by the model lifting beam and the size of the suction pad.

• The lifter has an aesthetically designed one-unit beam, which includes a vacuum tank and fuel tank while giving optimum protection to the engine, pump, and switchgear.

• The beam is compact and has a low weight.

• No external wiring or piping except for the 2 hydraulic rotator hoses. With the electrically powered unit, a heavy-duty cable runs over the excavator's arm.

• The diesel motor has a capacity of only 3,1 KW with the resulting low fuel use. The specially designed vacuum pump is coupled directly to the motor and because it’s well-matched it can pump an amazing 73 M3/H with a high-end vacuum of approx. 1mbar (99% vacuum).

• You are enjoying the results of 35 years of hands-on experience.

• No damage to the pipe surface; lifting force is spread over a large surface and the only contact with the pipe is a soft rubber seal.

• Highly safe

• 10x faster pipe handling than pipe hooks or slings.

• Less staff required.

• Works in all environments; wind, dust, heat, rain, snow, or ice is not an issue.

• Skids are not required when stockpiling.

• Wireless remote-controlled, no tangled wires.
