What Are Vacuum Tube Lifters?
Vacuum tube lifters use a vacuum to grip and lift various load types. They are a simple system comprising a vacuum pump connected 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, 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.
Vacuum tube lifters 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 and are given their name as the tube that supplies the vacuum also provides the lifting action.
They are often used with a jib crane. The jib crane suspends the vacuum tube lifter and provides added horizontal travel, allowing the worker to extend their reach, whilst the lifting system supports the weight.

Why Are Vacuum Tube Lifters Used?
Vacuum tube lifters can help increase productivity while offering an ergonomic solution for your material handling needs. The operation is fast and smooth, making them ideal for repetitive handling tasks.
Material handling equipment that can remove the burden of manual handling from the operator will improve the health and safety of workers and reduce workplace injuries.
They are also a cost-effective solution. Vacuum tube lifters are low maintenance and when serviced, downtime and disruption are reduced, which improves production line efficiency.
The Benefits Of Using Vacuum Tube Lifters
Vacuum tube lifters can increase productivity 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
Vacuum tube lifters are becoming the handling equipment of choice for applications in which single operator material handling of repetitive and heavy loads is required.
They are an ergonomic solution for industries like White Goods and Panels, Boards & Sheets, and are becoming a popular material handling choice
Handling Concepts' Vacuum Tube Lifter Solution
This vacuum tube lifter solution can safely lift loads of up to 55kg. The machine is designed for the handling of boxes with coffee machines inside. The heavy load has to be lifted onto a conveyer as part of the production line, a task that was a manual handling headache for workers.
These boxes are double stacked, so it is important to have a flexible handle for ergonomic control of the system. The vacuum tube lifter is suspended from a jib crane, which gives adjustable travel for the application.
The vacuum tube lifter allows the load to effectively ‘float’, and removes the need for workers to manually lift the load, reducing the risk of workplace injuries and improving the efficiency of the production line.
