Professional Vacuum Lifting System for Landscape & Hardscape Installers
Move heavier materials faster and safer with a professional-grade vacuum lifter engineered specifically for today's hardscape installer. With a 550lbs dry cast and 650lbs wet cast lifting capacity*, this system handles large pavers, concrete slabs, natural stone, and block with confidence.
Powered by corded 120V, it delivers continuous performance without battery limitations. Designed to lift both porous and non-porous materials, it excels across the full range of landscape products used on modern jobsites.
Included Adjustable handles for any job
- Adjustable height handles quickly adapt from ergonomically lifting pavers at ground height to lifting from pallet height, no more awkward lifts.
- D-handles are perfect for working next to structures, tight areas, narrow trenches, and retaining walls.
- Easily remove handles and fold them flat for compact storage in job trailers
Longer Lift Times with Superior Cooling
A high-performance bypass vacuum motor separates intake and exhaust airflow. Dusty, hot air is expelled outside the lifter while clean intake air cools the motor more effectively than conventional designs.
- Dramatically longer suspension times for pavers and slabs
- Reduced overheating during continuous use
- Lower dust ingestion for improved durability and service life
- Reliable internal temps in hot outdoor conditions
Advanced Safety & Remote Release Technology
An integrated electronic release system makes operation safer, especially when lifting with a machine. The release can also be triggered remotely, allowing precise placement without workers guiding the load manually.
- Safer for crews working around suspended materials and excavators
- Eliminate an employee standing at a pallet waiting to grab the next paver
- Eliminates a worker having to hold a release valve while near a moving excavator boom
- Release triggers are reachable from all sides of the lifter, no more reaching under an excavator boom or walking on screeded areas to release a paver
- Remote release reduces ground labor requirements
- Cooler motor operation with less dust intake
- Indicator lights show lift or release status instantly
- Built-in vacuum gauge confirms adequate vacuum before every lift
Built for Hand or Machine Lifting
- Lift with one or two people for manual placement
- Attach to machinery for heavy or repetitive lifts
- Tiltrotator-ready for rotation and tilt control from the cab in today's advanced machines
- Limits manual repositioning and reduces crew size
