VACUUM LIFTERS

  The UNIMOVE’S patented progressive control valve design provides an effortless “in and out” stroke with fingertip control. The design enables a “neutral” wrist position at all levels of lift.  Competitive systems have a stroke which can require a severe rotation of the operator’s wrist at certain levels in order to reach the release position.  This repetitive motion can cause wrist discomfort. The UNIMOVE control handle is adjustable to allow for use with many size hands and has a PVC cushion.  The Teflon coated valve can’t stick, and each stroke of the control valve is self-wiping and self-cleaning. UNIMOVE is the only vacuum lift with ‘automatic balance control’. It allows the operator to immediately suspend/hover any weight at any level desired, in the total range of ‘Up/Down’ travel, simply by releasing the control handle at the desired level.  Competitive units have an adjustment system that only allows a single weight to hang at one, predetermined level. If a different weight product is lifted, it will suspend at a different level, so adjustments have to be reset each time to reach a single desired level.


HOVAMAT VACUUM LIFTERS

Are versatile and allow safe and gentle transport of materials such as glass, windows, steel, aluminum, wood, doors, furniture, stone and plastic. Our vacuum lifters are manufactured to the highest quality and safety standards.

Thanks to the additional HOVAMAT PLUS+ equipment, permanent weight monitoring is guaranteed to eliminate operating errors and ensure maximum safety and efficiency.


SMART SOLUTIONS FOR SHEET & SLAB HANDLING

Vacuum lifting equipment is a material handling device that uses suction technology—powered by vacuum pumps or blowers—to securely grip and lift heavy, flat, or smooth-surfaced items such as glass panes, metal sheets, stone slabs, or wooden boards. It is commonly used in manufacturing, construction, and warehouse environments to improve efficiency and safety when moving bulky or fragile materials. By eliminating the need for manual lifting or mechanical clamping, vacuum lifters reduce the risk of damage to materials and help prevent worker injuries, making them a reliable and ergonomic solution for handling heavy loads with precision and ease.
