Push-to-Grip Suction-Cup Lifters
Push down to create a vacuum and grip your items. Use on smooth, nonporous surfaces, such as mirrors and metal sheets.
Note: Capacities are for horizontal lifting. Not recommended for vertical lifting.
Warning: Never use to lift items over people.

Vacuum Lifters for Large Panels
Lift and position windows, large metal sheets, and even solar panels scratch free. These lifters connect to a crane or hoist and use suction cups to grip material. This makes them more gentle than tongs or plate clamps that can scratch delicate surfaces. For precise positioning, you can tilt these lifters up to 90° and rotate them 180°. As you rotate them, you can lock them at 45° increments. To prevent shifting during installation, they’ll automatically lock at 90°.
The battery-powered vacuum pump generates and maintains strong suction. If suction is lost, the pump senses it and automatically reactivates to maintain grip. A vacuum gauge lets you monitor pressure to stay within safe operating limits. If the pump runs out of battery during a lift, these lifters have a vacuum reserve tank that allows them to maintain grip and support the load for at least five minutes. Each lifter includes a battery gauge and a charger.
Vacuum cups for smooth and textured surfaces will grip stone slabs, pebbled fiberglass, and textured tiles. They have a sealing ring that resists abrasive particles. Keep in mind, they have a lower lifting capacity than vacuum cups designed for smooth surfaces only.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Non-Contact Vacuum Lifters
Lift and move porous, uneven, and delicate items without damaging them. Unlike other vacuum lifters, which seal to the surface of your workpiece, these lifters pick up items without touching them. Also known as Bernoulli lifters, they use a compressed air source to create a negative pressure zone, so you don’t need a separate vacuum generator. They’re also low-maintenance—they don’t use vacuum cups, and the durable steel housing is built for a long service life. These lifters are not for use with electronics or other items sensitive to static discharge.
If your workpiece is uneven, it may touch the lifter surface as it moves. To create a soft area for your object to touch, add anti-slip adapters to the lifter face. These rubber discs gently press against your workpiece, adding enough friction to keep it from slipping and dropping.
Capacity and air consumption are based on lifting a flat workpiece horizontally.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Vacuum Cup Levelers
Save time aligning your vacuum cups manually between pick-and-place tasks. Also known as spring plungers, these levelers use a spring to automatically adjust for height and alignment differences with each stroke. Because the spring also creates a gentle point of contact with your object, these levelers help your vacuum cups last longer. They don’t rotate, so your object will stay in the same position—use them in repetitive vacuum lifting applications where precision is required.
Choose levelers based on the required stroke length and thread compatibility with your cup and system. Tighten the mounting nuts on the body to secure them in a panel or to a mounting bracket.

Corded Suction-Cup Holders
Temporarily hold glass, metal, or plastic panels and sheets while you work on them. A residue-free alternative to duct tape, they’re sometimes used to hold a window in a car door during repair. Loop the cord over hooks, nails, or framing to suspend the panel or sheet. Pull tabs on the cups make removal easy. Each pack includes two holders—use on each corner for a more secure hold.
