Air-powered Vacuum Lifter
Anver Corporation introduced a compact, air-powered vacuum lifter that can be operated from an overhead hoist and has an adjustable pad attachment for lifting and installing heavy parts. The Anver VPFL4 Series Compressed Air Vacuum Lifter runs on 72-90 psi dry, clean shop air. It has a large, ergonomic handle for lifting loads up to 1,500 lbs. and the vacuum pad attachment provides 12 to 18 inches of adjustable vertical reach.
Anver says the lifter lets users lift heavy components from the top and install them into frames, chassis and other assemblies at a predetermined depth. Accordng to the company, the Anver VPFL4 Series Compressed Air Vacuum Lifter is an effective way to eliminate hooks and slings, and needs only 8 inches of head room.
Equipped with two snap-on sealing ring suction cups that can be changed in minutes, standard features include a vacuum attach-and-release slide control valve, an air filter, vacuum check valve, leakage sensor, and audio-visual alarm.
