Mobile vacuum lifting

When stone and flooring specialist
Grants of Shoreditch undertook a
project to lay over 22,000m2 of flooring
at Heathrow Airport, it turned to
Packline Materials Handling to
provide a bespoke lifting and
handling solution. The requirement
was for an efficient, quick and
weightless handling solution to lift
the stone flooring tiles and accurately
place them into position.

Packline Materials Handling
provided vacuum lifting equipment
for lifting and handling stone, paving
or tile floorings. The vacuum lifters
are mounted on base plates in order
to create a mobile solution, where the
entire lifter can be moved by means of
a forklift truck.

The vacuum lifting heads feature a
‘fingertip’ control bar so the operator
uses minimum effort to move heavy
loads. For safety, in the event of a
power failure the load is gently
lowered to the ground before the
suction head will release. A range of
suction heads is available to suit a
variety of lifting applications.
