Move loads weighing up to several tonnes - ergonomically and safely with a Vacuum Lifting Beam.

Regardless of whether it concerns the handling of metal sheets, wooden sheets, plastic sheets, barrels, windows or glass - a Vacuum Lifting Beam is often the right solution for handling even the heaviest loads of up to several tonnes. Processes that previously required up to several people can now be handled ergonomically correctly by a single person. Vacuum Lifting Beams are particularly suitable for handling large, flat and typically non-porous items, for example:

Handling and positioning of metal sheets, wooden sheets and plastic sheets with CNC machines.
Handling and positioning of glass panels and windows during production, framing and installation

Your advantages:
Efficient handling of heavy loads as well as an ergonomic and safe working environment.

How a vacuum lifting beam works

A vacuum lifting beam (also known as a vacuum lifter) works by means of a powerful vacuum pump that creates negative pressure in a series of suction cups placed on the surface of the load. This negative pressure "sucks" the beam onto the workpiece with great force, after which the entire unit can be lifted safely with a crane or a hoist. The advantage of a vacuum lifting beam is that it grips the workpiece solely from the top or the side. This means you don't need room to pass slings or chains underneath the load, making it incredibly easy to pick sheets directly from a stack. In addition, the suction cups leave no marks or scratches, which is essential when handling glass, polished steel or finished wooden panels. Our Schmalz vacuum lifting beams are equipped with advanced safety systems, including a vacuum reservoir and acoustic alarms, which ensure that the load is held securely even in the event of a power failure.
