Manufacturing: How Vacuworx makes lifting Heavy Duty Sheet Metal easy
In manufacturing environments, production flow is everything. Vacuworx engineers heavy duty sheet metal lifters designed to increase productivity.
Our vacuum lifting devices can handle a wide range of materials and metal types for your manufacturing needs. Our VT/VRT, VPL, and CM 3 E vacuum lifters can lift:
- Stainless steel
- Aluminum
- Steel
- Carbon Fiber
- HDPE
- Plastic

Built with electric-powered systems, our vacuum lifting devices are ideal for indoor use. Their adjustable arms allow operators to precisely position vacuum pads to accommodate materials of varying sizes and shapes, ensuring secure, accurate handling in complex applications.
Safety is built into every design. This is seen in features such as automatic shut-off valves that protect both operators and materials, or with remote handling that allows operators to lift heavy material—keeping workers out of harms way.
Our Vacuum lifting devices are commonly used to load and unload laser tables, water jet tables, heat exchangers, and press breaks.

Why Vacuworx Is the Right Choice
Chains, clamps, hooks all have one thing in common: they require workers to manually handle heavy materials, increasing chances of material damage and injuries. By switching to a sheet metal lifter utilizing vacuum technology you will:
Increase safety:
- Reduce handling of large sheet metal
- Minimize risk of material damage
- Keep workers out of harm with remote lifting
Decrease Manpower:
- Accelerate loading and off-loading time
- Need fewer workers to over see operations
Increase productivity:
- Quicken cycle times
- Notice better placement accuracy
