All standard vacuum lifters we offer are made from stock with modular components and shipped promptly. There are literally hundreds of combinations possible with ANVER Standard Vacuum Lifters depending on the vacuum generator, vacuum cup, beam, cross arms and vacuum cups. Get in touch with one of our experts to discuss your needs and help you choose the right vacuum lifter.
ANVER, a leader in vacuum material handling technology worldwide, offers a complete line of vacuum lifters. All models are available in lifting capacities of up to 66,000 lb (26,000 kg) depending on your needs. You can choose from the following list of popular vacuum lifting and manual tilting effectors or click here for a quote on a vacuumlifter that suits your needs.
Standard BMC-Series Battery Powered Vacuum Lifters were designed to dramatically reduce the effort needed to upend heavy loads.
GSS Machinery is ready to assist you in choosing a vacuum lifter that will meet all of material handling needs. Contact GSS Machinery for more information, or fill out a Lifter Info/Quote Request Form and a Sales Engineer will respond to your request shortly.
The standard EMC-Series Electric Powered Vacuum Loaders are made to reduce effort in lifting heavy loads. They also have powerful suction power, 90-degree manual tilt, and 360-degree manual rotation capabilities.
ANVER vacuum lifters have a 2-inch Deflection factor that is used to determine the required beam length, number of pads and pad size. Based on over 30 years' experience in vacuum lifting applications, we know that a 2-inch deviation provides an additional measure of lifting safety. The curvature underneath the pads is reduced and it is easier to position a lifter on the loads. In practice, operators have trouble centering a lifter that has more than 2" deflection. More information can be found at bottom of page.
The lifters can be operated by themselves so no installation is required. The mechanical lifters do not require compressed air or electrical service. Hanging the lifter on the crane hook is all that's required to set it up. The hoist up/down movement controls the load's attach/release cycles. Without putting the load down completely, you can't release it. You can complete the lifting procedure with your operators by reviewing the manual or the most recent ANSI guidelines. All lifters are fully assembled and tested. It's that easy!
This lifter/tilter is designed to be safe. It has a VLS (9V battery-powered vacuum leakage sensor) and warning system. There's also an attach/release valve with a safety lock. The AMC-Series Lifters/Tilters can hold a maximum vacuum of 24 inches. Hg (609.6mmHg) and a 4:1 safety factor for vacuum holding (unless stated otherwise).

The full range of powered vacuum engines from ANVER comes with a variety electrical specifications. The vacuum generator's web page contains all relevant electrical information. Notice: All ANVER electric components, controls and wiring adhere to international standards: UL. CSA. NFPA. NEC. It is up to the user to ensure compliance with any local electrical codes. North American Electricity Rules: To be Festooned (wires attached to overhead cranes from trolleys) to Lifter. A coil cord or retractable cable can be used to bring power to the hoist. It is only a matter of adding power to the lifter, as you are already attached to the hoist. It is best to keep hoist and lifting pendant controls separate. Additional Voltages and Phases: Generators are available in the following voltages. A transformer can be added to supply these voltages: 208V. Generator motors of less than 120V are protected by circuit breakers and fuses. Motors and devices that use more voltage than 200V can be fused, or thermal overloaded with a contractor.
BMC-Series lifters can be equipped with pad extensions that can be removed. You can mount the vacuum pads inline for long and narrow loads. The extensions can also be removed for shorter loads. The equipment features an ergonomic lifter handlebar with a welded-steel lifting frame that allows operators to use it with ease for many different loads and applications.
Make sure that your hoist or crane has sufficient lifting power. Remember that you must subtract the vacuum crane weight from the hoist and the crane to get your overall lifting capacity. Have you ordered any key spare parts, like seals or vacuum cups. Although they can last, this item will likely be the first that requires service.
The switch connected to a lifting bail controls vacuum attach-and-release. Once the unit is lifted onto the load and the suspension chains are loosened, the switch activates the attachment process. When the vacuum level is reached, a green light will be lit to let you know that it is safe to lift. Now you can lower the unit to allow the load to fall. Once vacuum has been released from the unit, you can raise it with the hoist controls.

There are two main types of vacuum pumps: gas transfer pumps and entrapment/capture pumps (Figure 1).
What is a lifter? A lifter is a cylindrical part that rides on the Cam Shaft and actuates the Exhaust and Intake Valves. The Lifter pushes pushrod engines up into the Rocker Arm, opening the valve. The lifter pushes directly against the valve tip for OHC (overhead cam).
If your vacuum leak is detected, it's possible to hear the engine make sucking noises. A leak might also produce hissing and squealing sounds.
Except for very small battery-operated motors, all suction motors are universal-type motors. They can be used with either AC or DC power sources. They are typically designed to work best with AC at the standard household voltage.
