The customer needs to lift and place large flat panels at multiple locations, some inside the workshop and some out on the job site. Even with four people carrying one panel, it's hard to keep the edges from colliding. Many job sites also don't have power run to them yet.

FullSharp supplies a 300 kg mechanical vacuum lifting pad that generates full vacuum entirely by hand pump. The rubber suction cups seal tightly onto the panel surface, and a valve with a pressure gauge signals immediately if suction drops. Hook it onto a hoist or crane and lift — no electrical power required.

Mechanical Vacuum Lifting Pad, 300 kg, Lifts Panels Without Power

A 300 kg mechanical vacuum lifting pad gripping a flat panel for lifting and moving.

Equipment Installed

  • Rubber suction cups: a soft rim seals tightly onto the panel surface, holding firmly without scratching or marking it.
  • Hand pump mechanism: a few pumps of the lever create enough vacuum, with no need for electricity or compressed air.
  • Vacuum-holding valve: locks the suction chamber throughout the lift, keeping grip stable while the load hangs overhead.
  • Pressure gauge: clearly marks the safe zone; if the needle drops out of range, stop and re-pump.
  • Handle and lifting frame: the hanging point is positioned at the center of gravity, hooking straight onto the workshop's existing hoist or crane.

Benefits for Your Facility

Works Anywhere

No electrical outlet or air compressor needed, so it works on the job site or on upper floors.

Protects the Panel Surface

The soft rubber contact avoids scratches that would occur with edge clamps or straps.

Warns Before Slipping

The valve and pressure gauge give early warning as vacuum drops, giving the operator time to react.

Consultation for Your Facility

FullSharp first asks about material type, panel size, and surface roughness, since these determine the number and diameter of suction cups needed. Our engineers also check the existing hanging points in your facility to select the right lifting frame. Contact FullSharp for configuration advice.
