The Story of Vacuum
Lifting
Vacuum lifting takes the concept of conventional lifting to the next level. Offering increased operational efficiency and elevated on-site safety using pioneering vacuum lifting technology. This revolutionary heavy-duty lifting method has transformed the pipeline industry. Enabling operators to lift loads independently, without the need for hooks, chains, clamps or slings, and between 8-12 times faster than conventional lifting methods. This powerful vacuum lifting technology is a feat of modern engineering offering fast, secure and reliable lift operations every time.
Safety First
Our vacuum lifters are engineered to facilitate the safest lift operations possible with advanced safety features designed to maximise the safety of your team and load. By optimising the capabilities of vacuum lifting engineering, our vacuum lifters eliminate the need for hooks, chains, clamps or slings.
- Extensive safety features guarantee that loss of load cannot occur at any time.
- Facilitates clear on-site communication due to reduced noise.
- Staff no longer need to climb up onto or under loads.
Time & Cost Efficient
We believe in the power of advanced technology combined with simplicity in design and usability. Our vacuum lifters are engineered to be simple to install, operate and maintain as specialist mechanical servicing is not required.
- 8-12 times faster & more efficient than conventional lifting methods.
- Reduced labour costs as load handling becomes a one-man-job.
- Smooth, easy & instant handling with full control over your load.
Load Protection
Engineered to elevate performance and load lifting accuracy, our vacuum lifters provide enhanced protection for your lift loads. Each vacuum lifter also ensures that the weight of lift materials is evenly spread over a greater surface, reducing point loading and subsequent load damage.
- Loads only have contact with protective, soft durable rubber seals.
- Spring-loaded guide wheel system to softly position suction pad on load.
- Operator has full control of load due to leveling and rotating system.
Are you facing a load lifting challenge that our standard product range can’t solve? We strive to engineer elevated vacuum lifting solutions bespoke to your lifting requirements through our Custom Made Solutions Service.

MEET OUR CLIENTS
By introducing the new vacuum lifting method, we were able to quickly speed up to 9 very large pipes per hour on the first day of use. The excavator is handling the heavy pipes very well and movement is easy, ensuring full control over our heavy loads.
