• Automatic vacuum pumping if vacuum loss occurs.
• Acoustic and visual alarm system.
• Attach/release material with an ON/OFF slide valve.

What our Experts Think

• High-capacity professional glass handling system, the Aardwolf AVGLP8-800 Vacuum Glass Lifter is designed for safe lifting, tilting, and positioning of large glass and porcelain sheets in fabrication and construction environments.
• Powerful 800 kg horizontal lifting capacity (with 400 kg vertical capacity) makes it suitable for heavy-duty façade glazing, stone panels, and large-format installations.
• 8-pad vacuum system (300 mm seal-to-seal pads) ensures strong, stable suction across wide surface areas for improved load security and balance.
• 0–90° pneumatic tilting function enables smooth transition between vertical and horizontal positions, improving installation accuracy and reducing manual strain.
• Built-in safety systems including acoustic/visual alarms and automatic vacuum recovery, helping maintain grip stability even in case of pressure loss.
• Integrated ON/OFF slide valve control allows fast attachment and release, improving workflow speed during repetitive lifting operations.
• Heavy-duty industrial build (~108 kg unit weight) ensures durability while remaining compatible with crane-based handling systems.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect vacuum pads before each use for cracks, cuts, hardening, or loss of suction performance.
• Clean suction pads thoroughly after every operation to remove dust, glass residue, and moisture.
• Check vacuum system (pump, hoses, seals, and fittings) for leaks or pressure loss before lifting.
• Ensure battery level (if applicable) is fully charged and electrical connections are clean and secure.
• Test alarm system, pressure gauge, and safety indicators to confirm proper vacuum levels.
• Lubricate moving joints and tilt/rotation mechanisms periodically with light machine oil (avoid pads).
• Verify load does not exceed rated 800 kg capacity and that glass is clean, dry, and flat.
• Inspect frame, lifting hooks, and swivel points for cracks, deformation, or wear.
• Store in a dry, dust-free environment away from extreme heat or direct sunlight.
• Remove from service immediately if vacuum failure, sensor fault, or structural damage is detected.
