FAQ

1. What is a vacuum lifter and what is it used for?

   A vacuum lifter is a tool that uses suction power to safely lift and move flat materials like glass panels. It’s commonly used in glazing, façade installation, construction, and production environments.

2. What are the advantages of using a vacuum lifter instead of manual lifting?

   Vacuum lifters improve safety, reduce physical strain, and allow one person to move heavy glass panels with precision. They help prevent injuries and increase work efficiency.

3. Can I rent a vacuum lifter instead of buying one?

   Absolutely. All of our vacuum lifters are available for both rental and purchase. Renting is perfect for short-term projects or when you need a specific model temporarily.

4. How do I know which vacuum lifter is right for my job?

   It depends on factors such as weight, panel size, lifting height, and work location (indoor/outdoor). Our machines are categorized into four Levels (1–4) based on lifting complexity and capacity. Feel free to contact us for expert advice.

5. Can I use different suction pads with my vacuum lifter?

   Yes! Our modular lifters (like the VA800 series) support multiple pad configurations. Choose oval pads, spider pads, or 4-pad rows depending on the type of material or installation.

6. Are your vacuum lifters safe to use in case of power failure?

   Definitely. Many of our models (such as VA975 or Twin500) feature dual pumps, backup vacuum tanks, and alarm systems. If power is lost, the suction remains active to keep the load safely in place.

7. Are your lifters suitable for both indoor and outdoor use?

   Yes. We offer a wide range of models. For example, the VA450 is ideal for indoor, ground-level work, while the VA800B and VA975 are designed for outdoor, high-reach, or crane-mounted operations.

8. Are your vacuum lifters inspected and certified?

   Yes. Every machine is produced in our own Dutch factory and undergoes strict quality control. All units are CE-certified and comply with EN13155. We recommend yearly inspections and offer service options upon request.

9. What’s the typical delivery time for a vacuum lifter?

   Since we manufacture in-house, we keep popular models like the VA114E in stock for fast delivery. Custom-built or special configurations may take longer, and we’ll provide a lead time quote based on your request.
