FS-WDL80-1S is the smallest size in the single-pad mechanical vacuum lifter range: 80 kg safe working load, Φ200 mm round suction cup and only 5 kg dead weight. It hangs directly on a crane or hoist hook and suits small and medium aluminium, stainless and thin steel sheets.
This range is used for damage-free handling of all kinds of plates, especially aluminium. The lifter needs no electricity or compressed air: vacuum is created and released by the slack and tension of the lifting chain, with no control buttons at all. With no cables or air hoses attached there is no risk of operating error, so safety is very high.

| Model | Safe working load | Overall size (mm) | Suction cup (mm) | Cups | Dead weight | Control |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FS-WDL80-1S | 80 kg | 200×150 | Φ200 | 1 | 5 kg | Mechanical |
| FS-WDL300-1S | 300 kg | 360×300 | Φ360 | 1 | 26 kg | Mechanical |

All four models are controlled mechanically by the lifting chain and need no electricity or compressed air. FS-WDL2000-1S uses a rectangular suction cup; the other models use a round cup.
Ductile iron / High-temperature plastic coating / Can work 24 hours a day
Dia. 450 mm, single horizontal load 800 kg / Imported silicone, temperature-, oil- and wear-resistant / Cast iron base, separable from the silicone
All 40Cr alloy steel / After forging: quenched and tempered, high-frequency hardened and machined for accurate fit and durability
Large flow / Smart design, hard to clog / 8 mm G80 manganese steel chain, high strength, heavy load
FS-WDL80-1S at work in customer plants. The operator places the lifter on the plate, lifts, guides it to the drop point and lowers it; the crane does the lifting and the operator only steers.
The master link hooks straight onto the crane hook; the lifter is ready to use on delivery.
Gripping and releasing rely only on the lifting chain. No buttons, and power cuts or low voltage have no effect.
No cables or air hoses to connect, so the lifter can be taken to any crane or hoist and put to work.
The lifter releases only after the plate is set down and the chain is fully slack, so it cannot drop a plate mid-lift.
Vacuum holds the plate without slings or clamps, so aluminium surfaces are not scratched and edges are not dented.
