Intended use

The FORCE-LIFT®vacuum lifter (vacuum tube lifter) is used for lifting and subsequently setting

down various goods from a wide variety of industries. In conjunction with exchangeable types of

suction feet, it is possible to move and handle vacuum-tight and porous loads of max. 75 kg.

The control head of the vacuum lifter and the suction heads are part of a complete system

comprising a vacuum pump or blower, filter unit, supply line, swivel joint and vacuum lift tube. The

vacuum lifter is attached to a pillar-mounted slewing crane with a jib, a (rigid) wall-mounted jib or

a rail system. Control head and suction feet as well as vacuum lift tube can be swivelled using

swivel joints; the suction foot can be swivelled up to 90°.

At the time the FORCE-LIFT vacuum lifter was placed on the market, it is designed/suited for the

following variations of suction feet:

•Adaptable double-rectangular suction foot for transport goods surfaces that are not

inherently stable with flexible bearing system for handling cardboard boxes, steel plates or

similar (box lifter)

•Suction foot for drums or barrels and other inherently stable or smooth transport goods

surfaces (drum lifter)

•Suction foot for handling sacks, bags and similar transport goods that are not inherently

stable and which do not have smooth surfaces (bag lifter)

•VUSS suction foot as special solution for transport goods with cut-outs and porous material

(option)

The respective suction foot can be used for the corresponding transport goods.

The vacuum lifter may only be used from the front by one person. These must be qualified

specialists.

The vacuum lifter is intended for use in halls and outdoors when milder ambient weather

conditions prevail.

The vacuum lifter may only be operated if all safety devices are fully installed and functional.

Intended use also includes observing this instruction manual as well as carrying out the necessary

Foreseeable misuse

The machine is NOT intended for the following applications:

•Handling of other components or variations than those approved by the manufacturer.

•Overstepping of maximum load capacity.

•Shutting off the suction plates that fall below the load capacity.
