ANVER Battery Powered Vacuum Lifters

ANVER battery powered Vac-Pack vacuum generators carry a rechargeable 12 V DC battery for handling non-porous loads where AC power is not available below the hook.

How to set up standard battery powered vacuum lifters

Battery powered vacuum lifter ANVER VPF-57-DCP

Set-up is as simple as charging your battery and hanging the unit from a crane hook!

Model specific information

ANVER’s Battery Powered Vac-Pack Vacuum Generators contain the same features as the standard Electric Powered Vac-Pack Vacuum Generators but include a rechargeable 12 Volt DC battery, making it suitable for handling non-porous loads. It is commonly used for special applications where AC power is not readily available below the hook. Two main standard generators can be easily mounted to hundreds of potential lifting pads and beams. They recharge with standard 115V AC power. We have recently redesigned these Vac-Packs with the latest new pumps, controls and batteries and they work better than ever.

If you are considering a battery system we recommend you purchase a spare battery and charger. As with all battery powered equipment, it is necessary to use the battery on a regular basis and recharge when capacity runs low.

See our convenient lifting application chart.

Electric self-cycling operation (ESC)

ESC is available on vacuum generators with Safety Lock-Out Lift Bail: VPE1-GEN3, BAE1-GEN3, VPE3-GEN3, BAE3-GEN3, GF5T, GF10T, GF15T.

ANVER electric self-cycling (ESC) vacuum lifter system

The vacuum attach-and-release cycle is controlled by a switch connected to the lifting bail. When the unit is lowered onto the load and the suspension chain slackens, the full weight of the lifter is on the load, and a switch automatically starts the attachment process. Once the proper vacuum level has been achieved, a green light will illuminate letting you know it is now safe to lift. When you are ready to put the load down, lower the unit until the chain is slack, the switch will now start the release process. Once vacuum has been released you can now raise the unit with the hoist controls and you are now prepared for your next lift.

Electric powered, self-cycling operation: step by step

Step 1: red, up

ESC cycle: red light, lifter raised

When the unit is lowered onto the load and the hoist chain slackens, the full weight of the lifter is on the load, and the internal switch automatically starts the attachment process.

Step 2: red, down

ESC cycle: red light, lifter lowered onto the load

Step 3: red, slack

ESC cycle: red light, chain slack, attach starts

Step 4: green, down

ESC cycle: green light, vacuum ready to lift

Once the proper vacuum level has been achieved, a green light will illuminate letting you know it is now safe to lift.

Step 5: green, up

ESC cycle: green light, load lifted

Step 6: green, down

ESC cycle: green light, load set down

When you are ready to put the load down, lower the unit until the chain is slack to activate the switch to start the release process.

Step 7: red, slack

ESC cycle: red light, chain slack, release starts

Step 8: red, down

ESC cycle: red light, vacuum released

Once vacuum has been released you can now raise the unit with the hoist controls. You are now prepared for your next lift.

Step 9: red, up

Selecting a vacuum lifter

These are the main items to keep in mind:

Load size and overhang icon

Make sure you have selected a vacuum lifter with adequate capacity to lift your heaviest load, and enough vacuum cups to support your longest, widest and thinnest load.
See how we calculate this.

Hoist and crane capacity icon

Make sure your hoist and crane have adequate lifting capacity.
Remember, you need to deduct the vacuum lifter weight from the hoist and crane to get your overall capacity.

Headroom icon

Check if you have adequate headroom in your application for the lifter and the load being lifted.
