Description
POWERED TILTING & UPENDING VACUUM LIFTERS
90° powered tilt – ET / ETL electric and AT / ATL air powered series, 80 to 2,000 lb
Product Overview
ET100M4 powered tilter
Vacuum lifters with a powered upender mechanism allow a single operator to handle load-turning tasks with ease. The tilting motion is designed to stop at any intermediate angle.
The ET / ETL electric and AT / ATL air powered lifter/tilter series are engineered to take the effort out of turning heavy loads, while delivering strong holding force and a full 90° tilt. Safety is built in throughout: the VLS 9V battery vacuum leak warning system, a lockable attach/release slide valve, and locking knobs on the adjustable pads, slides and crossarms.
Rated capacities are given at a maximum vacuum of 24 in. Hg [609.6 mm Hg] with a 4:1 safety factor in vacuum holding. Dual filter/reservoir assemblies on both series provide clean, dependable holding power even in demanding environments, while ergonomic handles, a rigid welded steel frame and positioning handles at the ends of the beam keep the lifter comfortable to operate.
Tilting configurations
Tilt angle – load weight and thickness affect the final tilt angle the lifter can reach. Because of the centre of gravity offset, please contact FULL-SHARP for loads thicker than 1.18 in. [3 cm] on ET / AT and thicker than 2 in. [51 mm] on ETL / ATL.
Unit weights do not include optional accessories.

AT / ATL series – air powered tilt
Heavy duty pneumatic cylinder with flow control for variable tilt speed, running on clean shop air at 90–120 psi. AT for capacities to 2,000 lb, ATL for lighter loads to 250 lb.
Features
- APF-07UP vacuum generator with vacuum and pressure gauges (AT only)
- AL1001UP vacuum generator with vacuum and pressure gauges (ATL only)
- 3/8 NPT air inlet with lockable slide valve
- VLS system – vacuum leak sensor and alarm, 9V battery powered
- Pre-set regulator allows the lifter to run on higher pressure air lines
- Single stage venturi with check valve, preventing loss of vacuum if the air supply fails
- Heavy duty pneumatic cylinder for 90° tilting
- Flow control valve to regulate tilt speed

Key Design Features
01 – VLS system
Vacuum leak sensor and audible alarm, 9V battery powered, warning the operator before holding force is lost.
02 – Slide valve
Attach/release slide valve with a safety lock, so the load cannot be released accidentally.
03 – Circuit protection
Re-settable circuit breakers protect both the vacuum pump and the tilt actuator.
04 – Check valve
Holds vacuum in the event of power loss or air supply failure, keeping the load attached.
05 – Locking knobs
On the adjustable pads, slides and crossarms, so the set-up stays where the operator puts it.
06 – Control pendant
Tilt control pendant on a 10 ft [3.5 m] cord with holster, for operation from a safe position.
