What Are Vacuum Lifting Beams?
Vacuum lifting beams use a vacuum to grip and lift various load types. They are a simple system comprised a vacuum pump connected by a hose to a lifting tube with a suction head and suction foot (known as suction cups or vacuum pads) at the end of the lifting tube. These are the contacts that hold the load.
When the suction feet touch the load, the airflow is blocked and an airtight seal is formed, causing the vacuum level to increase until the load is secure and can be gripped and lifted confidently and safely throughout the handling process.
Multiple suction feet built into a specialised frame are known as vacuum lifting beams. They are an excellent system to use as material handling equipment, as they feel weightless and can be used by a single operator. They grip, support, lift, and lower the load with single operator control.
These beams can be suspended from an overhead crane, or an industrial manipulator can provide added travel and degrees of movement.
Vacuum lifting beams are perfect for lifting large glass panels or metal sheets. The suction feet offer multiple places for the load to attach, which can allow large safe working loads.

Why Are Vacuum Lifting Beams Used?
Vacuum lifting beams offer a safe and ergonomic solution to your material handling needs. With them, you can quickly and easily increase productivity in the workplace. Their operation is fast and smooth, making them ideal for repetitive handling tasks.
Window & door manufacturers often produce products that are very large and cumbersome to lift. It is easy for workers to become tired or over-stretch their bodies trying to move these loads. Vacuum lifting beams remove the burden of this task.
These products are also prone to damage. To reduce the risk of this, the vacuum lifting beam has padded suction feet. This is important for manufactures who do not want their products to be scratched during the production process.
The Benefits Of Using Vacuum Lifting Beams
Vacuum lifting beams can increase production efficiency and reduce injuries in the workplace. They can benefit your workers and business and can help in various ways:
- Lifting something too heavy for a person to handle manually.
- Reducing the risk of Musculoskeletal injuries and repetitive strain injury through incorrect manual handling.
- Avoid employee fatigue.
- Improving the efficiency of the production line.
- Reducing the risk of workplace accidents and damage to products
Providing a manual handling tool that also protects the product is an important reason many businesses are investing in this type of material handling equipment.
Handling Concepts' Vacuum Lifting Beam Solution
This vacuum lifting beam solution can safely lift loads of up to 150kg. The machine is designed for the handling of metal sheets and panels, which are too large and heavy for a worker to handle.
It is suspended from a balanced arm manipulator which enables further vertical and horizontal movement of the load. The vacuum lifting beam has adjustable suction feet to allow the lifting equipment to handle products of multiple sizes. These are padded to ensure they did not cause any damage.
The vacuum lifting beam removes the need for workers to manually lift the load, reducing the risk of workplace injuries and improving the efficiency of the production line.
