Technology Explained

The Technology Behind the Grip

DS System lifters utilize negative pressure generation. A high-performance vacuum pump evacuates air between the suction pad and the material, creating a seal capable of holding hundreds of kilograms.

Independent Circuits
System A and System B work separately for redundancy. If one fails, the other holds the load safely.
Reserve Tank
Maintains vacuum pressure even if power is strictly cut, giving time to lower the load.
Audio-Visual Safety
90dB alarm and flashing lights warn the operator immediately of any low vacuum levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

How heavy can I lift?▼

Our standard vacuum lifters range from 100 kg to 1000 kg capacity. For special industrial applications (e.g., massive steel slabs or precast concrete), we design custom heavy-duty systems capable of lifting up to 1800 kg and beyond. Always check the SWL (Safe Working Load) of the specific model.

Are vacuum lifters battery powered?▼

Yes, the majority of our construction and warehouse lifters are 100% battery powered (cordless). They feature high-capacity 12V or 24V batteries that provide 8-10 hours of continuous operation. We also offer mains-powered units for stationary factory stations where mobility is not required.

Is it safe to lift porous materials like stone or wood?▼

Absolutely. While standard suction pads require an airtight surface (like glass or steel), we use specialized foam-rubber pads and high-flow vacuum pumps for porous materials. These are designed to compensate for air leakage, ensuring a safe grip on rough stone, concrete, or raw timber.

Do you offer rental or just sales?▼

We are a manufacturer, focusing primarily on sales and long-term service. However, we have a network of partner rental companies throughout Poland and neighbouring regions. We plan to expand our rental business, as growth is our top priority. If you are interested in renting in more remote areas, please contact us so that we can agree on individual rental terms.

Can it lift curved glass?▼

Yes, our specialist Glass System Series is equipped with adjustable extension arms and swiveling pads designed specifically for curved surfaces. We can handle convex and concave glass with various radii. Please provide your glass specifications for a custom configuration.

What is the lead time for a custom lifter?▼

Standard models (DS 550, DS 850) are typically in stock or have a short assembly time of 1 week. Custom engineering projects or highly specialized heavy-duty lifters typically require approx. 4-12 weeks for design, manufacturing, and testing.
