Large glass or sheet metal panels are hard to handle. Even with four people carrying it, the panel can still bend, edges can cut hands, and a single light bump can ruin an expensive piece of material.

FullSharp offers a 500 kg mechanical vacuum lifter that hooks directly onto an existing hoist or crane. Suction is created with a mechanical pump lever, so it needs no electricity or compressed air — a few pumps and the panel is held firmly.

500 kg Mechanical Vacuum Lifter for Flat Panels

Equipment Installed

  • Rubber suction cups: several cups spaced evenly across the frame, sealing against the panel and distributing the holding force.
  • Mechanical pump lever: hand-pumped to create vacuum, independent of any power source or air compressor.
  • Vacuum gauge: a quick glance shows whether pressure is sufficient — never lift the panel if it isn't.
  • Steel frame and lifting hook: rated for 500 kg, hooks straight onto an existing hoist or crane.
