Handling Issues
Due to the varying sizes and weights of these plastic sheets it took two or more operators to accomplish this handling task.
The Solution
ASE specified an electric powered vacuum lifter which includes a lifting frame with 8 adjustable pads on crossarms to easily accommodate the client’s large selection of sizes of their plastic sheets. Vacuum lifting technology allows a single operator to handle the load repetitively in an ergonomic and productive manner. These lifters are ideally suited for gripping smooth non porous loads made of metal, plastic, glass or any similar load that is smooth and non-porous. Standard and custom vacuum lifters are available powered by electrical, mechanical and air powered vacuum pumps and are available in capacities up to 40,000-lbs or more depending on your needs. Features include ergonomic controls, vacuum gauges that verify a safe grip, ergonomic front handle bar, power loss safety technology and more.
