Are you still handling pipe the “old” way with hooks chains and slings?

4

Vacuum Lifting is the NEW way to handle pipe.

Vacuum Lifters are the RIGHT EQUIPMENT for pipe handling!

5

Safer, Faster, Smarter!• No need for employees to climb on trailers to attach hooks, chains, clamps or

slings. Eliminates a machine sitting idle while laborers climb and wrap.

• No need for employees to hold tag lines, even when it is windy!

• Eliminates repairs to coatings, protecting your investment!

• Eliminates the need for cribbing/spacing for pipe or plate.

• The equipment operator can place material with precision.

• Positive engagement of your load. Chains, slings, and C-hooks can be bumped and come loose endangering employees.

• All of which translates to your customers moving material 7 to 12 times fasterand without the risk of injuring employees!

• Uses innovative vacuum technology to handle heavy-duty pipe, plate, slab, and concrete road barriers.

• Lift capacities range from 3 to 20 metric tonnes, with larger and custom models available upon request.

• 360 degree rotator hooks directly into excavator bucket curl circuit.

• Self-contained diesel power source for all RC and MC5 models, and gasoline for MC3 models. Hydraulic and Electric powered lifters are also available.
