Herochu® Sheet-Metal Vacuum Lifters
Electric-Powered Vacuum Lifter for Handling Large Sheet-Metal Panels – Custom Engineered from US $840
CE • UE • ISO 9001 Certified
Stop wrestling with 4 m × 2 m stainless panels that threaten operator backs and scratch-sensitive finishes. Herochu’s next-generation electric vacuum lifters combine aerospace-grade suction cups, a telescopic cantilever crane and an ultra-low-headroom hoist to deliver 300 kg of safe, single-operator control—yet cost less than one week of forklift overtime. Every unit is custom-built in our 4 000 m² ISO-9001 facility in Jinan, then exported with full CE/UE documentation to Russia, the United States, South Korea, Mexico, Australia, Spain, Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
- Break-through performance in a compact footprint
Lifting envelope: 0 – 2.3 m vertical travel; horizontal outreach tailored to your aisle width.
Shelf picking height: up to 2.1 m with 100 mm steel-plate reserve—perfect for existing vertical sheet towers.
Ultra-low clearance hoist: saves 700 mm compared with conventional chain blocks, squeezing into 2 400 mm ceiling bays that were previously impossible.
Cantilever crane bonus: detach the vacuum head in 3 seconds and use the same crane to move dies, crates or 200 kg motors—one investment, multiple workflows. - 300 kg pneumatic vacuum cantilever lifting robot—key technologies
• 300 kg SWL (Safe Working Load) at 60 % vacuum safety factor—tested to 1 500 kg burst.
• Quick-insertion ISO-A coupling: connect or disconnect the end-effector in <3 s, no tools required.
• Intelligent automatic braking: if vacuum drops below 55 kPa or power is lost, spring-applied disc brakes engage within 10 ms; the load remains suspended indefinitely.
• 360° continuous electric rotation ±5° precision—ideal for aligning panels on press-brake backstops.
• Modular suction frame: choose 4-, 6- or 8-pad configurations; pad spacing adjusts on T-slot rails for 500 mm up to 3 000 mm parts. - Safety systems that exceed ANSI B30.20
– Dual-circuit vacuum lines with independent check valves.
– Acoustic & visual low-vacuum alarm (<55 kPa).
– Anti-collision photoelectric edge stops all motion if an obstacle is detected.
– Air-cut-off protection: accumulator tank maintains vacuum for 5 minutes after compressor failure.
– Ground strap prevents ESD damage to coated sheets. - Industry-proven components
Vacuum pumps: Becker Germany or Orion Japan, oil-free, 24 m³/h @ -85 kPa.
Solenoid valves: SMC Japan, 10 million-cycle rating.
