Floor-mounted vacuum lifting
September 1st 2006 Vacuum lifting equipment specialist, Al-Vac, claims its new floor-mounted unit has two significant advantages over its nearest rivals: It can rotate through 360o and its lifting capacity is well beyond the standard 25kg required to handle conventional plastic and paper sacks used in many applications.
The vacuum in the Two-Joint Swing Arm unit is generated by an electrically-driven vacuum pump and travels through the inside framework of the machine before entering the concertina-style lifting cylinder. The vacuum then provides the lifting and suction power for the unit to move sacks, boxes and other bulky items. More articles from Al-Vac UK Ltd: |
