ANVER’s standard vacuum lifters offer efficient material handling solutions by promoting functionality, safety, and ergonomic operations for a wide variety of applications and materials. Standard lifting frames are built to order from stock using modular components, so there are hundreds of possible combinations depending on the vacuum generator, beam, crossarms, and vacuum cups selected.

Basic features on ANVER’s standard horizontal vacuum lifters include: vacuum leakage sensor and warning system; attach/release slide valve with safety lock; and locking hand knobs on the adjustable vacuum pad, slide assemblies, and crossarms (when applicable).

ANVER vacuum lifters comply with ASME B30.20 and ASME BTH-1 standards. Specifications and rated capacities vary by configuration, and users remain responsible for full compliance with workplace safety, inspection, and operating regulations.

The L160M8-86-4/44 and -110-4/44 eight-pad lifting frames are ideal for handling carbon steel and stainless steel sheets and plates with a capacity up to 1600 lb (730 kg). The type of vacuum lifter – mechanical, air, or electric – paired with the number of pads used will depend on your application needs. Available with foam pads for semi-porous / textured applications like wood, stone and diamond plate. Please note that foam pads are not available for mechanical vacuum generators.
