Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co. Inc has over 35 years experience in designing and manufacturing high-quality vacuum lifting equipment for all industries. Our vacuum lifters are extremely reliable and eliminate common manual lifting problems. These vacuum lifters are safe for handling bags, panels, boxes and other products.
Vacuum lifting equipment is used to transport heavy and large metal sheets in factories and construction sites.
Vacuum can be created when there is a pressure less than the atmospheric pressure. When vacuum is properly applied, it can create a strong holding force. It can pick up tiny parts to large volumes. Safety is priority one. Vacuum tube raisers provide lifting similar to a hoist, and gripping in a single safe, simple system. In the event of a power outage, the payload can be safely lowered using a non-return safety device. Additionally, vacuum lifters are able to securely hold the load in position via the large area suction pads.
Aerolift offers a variety of lifting solutions that can be customized for concrete. Every Aerolift vacuum lift device is custom-designed to fit the particular situation.

Glass cannot withstand its own weight. Carry it upright and on edge, just like drywall or plywood. Use a suction cup for your lower hand if the glass is heavy; use your upper hand without a cup as a guide hand to maintain balance. Wear gloves with rubberized palms at all times.
Vacuum lifters are lifting devices that include a vacuum as part of the lifting mechanism. People are made up of a below-the-hook frame with a large vacuum pad or several smaller suction cups for grabbing large sheets, rolls, plates, or other products with smooth surfaces.
Suction from a standard household vacuum cleaner is powerful enough to lift a car into the air. Adam and Jamie discovered that while a vacuum cleaner with a standard attachment could only lift a 5-pound (2.3 kg) weight, its lifting power increased linearly with the attachment's cross-sectional area.
