Vacuum lifting beams for glass

Vacuum lifting beam for glass

Vacuum lifting is an effective and safe method for handling and lifting glass panels and windows. This technology uses vacuum to create a strong suction effect that allows glass to be lifted and moved without damaging it. Vacuum lifters are particularly suitable for materials with smooth and non-porous surfaces, such as glass.

  
When choosing a vacuum lifting beam for glass, several factors must be considered.

First, the lifting capacity must be sufficient to handle the weight of the glass plate. In addition, the surface of the glass must be clean and dry to ensure an optimal suction effect. Awareness of any negative effects on the suction cups is also essential. 
 

Vacuum lifters can be equipped with various functions, such as the ability to tilt or rotate the load. This is particularly useful when working with large sheets of glass that need to be moved from a horizontal to a vertical position or vice versa. These functions can be manual or powered by a motor.
 

Suction plates for glass

Our vacuum lifters for use when lifting glass objects have been specially developed for this purpose. These glass suction plates (or suction feet as they are also called) have a low internal volume and a unique structure.
 

Safety when lifting with vacuum

Safety is a crucial factor when using vacuum lifters. It is important to inspect the lifter before use to ensure that it is not defective. In addition, you should never lift people or lift loads over people.

To avoid accidents, you should also ensure the load is balanced, as an unbalanced load can tilt and fall off. If working with flexible materials that can detach from the suction cup, a vacuum lifter with multiple suction cups and a suitable lifting beam should be used to distribute the weight.

Overall, vacuum lifting is a reliable and safe method of handling glass, provided you follow the necessary safety precautions and choose the right equipment for the job.
