Vacful
Vacuum Lifting Industrial Manipulator

Vacuum Manipulators for Boxes, Sacks, Drums and More

The Vacful from BPM is a pneumatic rope-system manipulator designed for safe, ergonomic handling of bags, boxes, cartons, sacks and other packaged loads. These manipulators are part of the FastTrack range of pre-engineered lifting systems available with industry-beating lead times from approximately 4 weeks. The pneumatic lift system allows “weightless” balancing, helping operators lift, move and position products with less physical strain and greater control.

Its modular design allows it to be supplied as column-mounted, overhead or rail-mounted systems, making it suitable for production, packing and warehouse environments.
