VacuMove systems use vacuum for both lifting and holding loads in place. The vacuum is formed with a vacuum pump and channeled through a filter and an air hose from a lifting tube fitted with a suction foot. The vacuum inside the lifting tube is regulated with a control handle. When the partial vacuum rises the lifting tube retracts and lifts the load. When the partial vacuum sinks the tube stretches, and lowers the load. The system can be used with a jib or other overhead crane system.
VacuMove systems are available in 10 models with lifting capacities of 40 to 600 lbs offered. Using a combination of over 50 different standard suction feet, and custom configurations, items of practically all shapes and sizes can be efficiently and easily handled.
