VACLIFT - FVL500PT Forklift/Crane VacLift - 500KG

Avoid material damage with this 500Kg Forklift/Crane VacLift - FVL are proving to be the most versatile and cost efficient vacuum lifters on today's market. The units are fully self contained with an extra large battery only requiring occasional charging via a 240V charger when not in use. Having the ability to move freely around the work area eliminates the need for a jib or crane. Unit pictured features power tilt function.

The units are available with or without tilt, both manual and powered. Slew is also available giving even greater flexibility when placing product vertically or on uneven surfaces. Providing the greatest flexibility within the Vaclift range, the spine of the Vaclift has lifting holes that also enable the unit to be used in conjunction with a jib or gantry crane system.

When not in use, the Vaclift can be placed back on its legs keeping the vacuum pads clear of the floor. FVL's are a total solution for moving most flat non porous materials around your site, from heavy steel plate, composite panels, stone or fragile sheets of glass. Providing greater flexibility, time management and added safety to your business Vaclift is a must have for every workshop.


Customers use VacLift successfully throughout a wide range of industries. These include stone, glass, tile, steel, stainless and aluminium profile cutting, water jet and laser cutting plus other industries and applications. Vaclift provides 12 months warranty on all parts except batteries.
Vaclift uses natural rubber that has been vulcanised to a quality stainless steel backing plate. The seal has been designed to incorporate three vacuum galleries therefore offering three chances to ensure the seal. Internal ribs maintain even pressure over a full area providing an even distribution of support on the item.
