Vacuum lifting is often the ideal solution to moving materials – in a number of different scenarios.
Technology has developed rapidly, to the point that vacuum lifters are used regularly in the construction industry, facilities management and in many manufacturing processes.
Hird can supply a wide range of vacuum lifter equipment for hire or for sale, including glass lifting attachments, counter balance cranes, lifting hoists and many types of suction cups.
What are the benefits of using vacuum lifters over other methods and technologies?
- Vacuum lifters reduce the risk of damaging the materials being manipulated. For glass handling, this is especially important
- In relative terms, they also increase productivity. Vacuum lifters can speed up materials handling
- Using vacuum lifting techniques is safer than manual handling and allows materials to be delivered and placed with far greater precision
- They are also very clean and eco-friendly technologies. Hird can supply electric glass lifting robots that greatly reduce your carbon footprint and can be used safely indoors as well as outdoors
- Vacuum lifters have developed rapidly and can now lift serious loads, safely and with ease.
What this means is that many of the vacuum lifters supplied by Hird, for sale or for hire, can be used to handle glass, and adapted for many other materials.
