A New Telehandler with Integrated Vacuum Lifter

Wood’s Powr-Grip (WPG), a global leader in vacuum lifting technology for more than 60 years, is proud to introduce the Powr-Lift 1600™, a new telehandler with integrated vacuum lifter, designed to help contractors handle large glass and other non-porous materials with greater safety, precision and efficiency.

Built to meet the growing demands of today’s jobsites, the Powr-Lift 1600 gives installation teams the ability to lift and place materials weighing up to 1,600 pounds (725 kilograms) while reducing physical strain, improving safety and increasing productivity. By helping technicians complete demanding installations more efficiently, the Powr-Lift 1600 can quickly pay for itself through labor savings, faster project completion, expanded capabilities and reduced risk of injury and material damage.

Increases Productivity While Reducing Stress

Labor shortages, rising costs and increasing safety demands are challenging contractors across the construction industry. The Powr-Lift 1600 helps installers do more with the people they already have by reducing heavy lifting tasks and allowing skilled workers to focus on their craft rather than demanding physical labor.

The result is a more productive team that can complete jobs faster, take on larger projects and improve overall profitability. For many contractors, the productivity gains alone can help justify the investment and deliver a rapid return.

“Customers have been asking for a mobile manipulator backed by the quality, reliability and support they expect from Wood’s Powr-Grip,” said Bryan Wood, president and CEO. “We took the time to build it right. The Powr-Lift 1600 helps teams lift heavier, work safer and finish faster -- and by increasing productivity on every job, it will pay for itself faster than many contractors expect.”
