Technology Update: The PT10FS10AIR vacuum lifter

Wood’s Powr-Grip vacuum lifter
June 1, 2017

The PT10FS10AIR vacuum lifter from Wood’s Powr-Grip has established itself around the world as the main workhorse for handling stone slabs in fabrication shops. This lifter features powered tilting, 10 specially designed vacuum pads and an impressive 1,500-pound (680 kg) capacity. The specialized vacuum pads attach quickly to unleveled surfaces, handling both unfinished and finished slabs. Individual pad shutoffs allow the lifter to attach to oddly shaped slabs, while a high-flow vacuum system provides a quick release, increasing the efficiency of your workday. The PT10 continues to be a valuable tool to stone workers, reducing both material breakage and manpower needs, all while increasing safety.
