Herochu Cantilever Lifter & Steel-Plate Vacuum Lifter Equipment
Custom-built for YOUR workshop • CE / UE / ISO 9001 • From USD 1,699
Every fabricator knows the hidden cost of a scratched 4 × 2 m stainless sheet or the lost hour spent coaxing a 500 kg plate onto a laser bed. Herochu’s Cantilever Lifter Machine, Metal-Sheet Manipulator and Steel-Plate Vacuum Lifter Equipment eliminate both problems in one modular package. Each unit is dimensioned around your existing floor plan and crane rails, so you pay only for the reach, capacity and power source you really need—custom pricing starts at USD 1,699 and includes on-site commissioning.
VacuumMaster Series—One-Operator, Zero-Damage Handling
The VacuumMaster combines a column-mounted cantilever crane with a multi-pad vacuum lifter to create a plug-and-produce solution for:
• Steel, aluminium, copper, stone, glass, PVC, acrylic or laminated panels
• 300 mm × 300 mm off-cuts to 6 m × 2.5 m master sheets
• Loads from 100 kg to 500 kg standard and up to 2 t on request
Key engineering highlights
- Secure, damage-free gripping: closed-cell vacuum pads maintain 85 % vacuum (0.85 kgf / cm²) even on oily or slightly uneven surfaces .
- Fail-safe energy: integrated oil-free vacuum pump + accumulator keep the load locked for >15 min after power loss, while audible / visual alarms warn at 60 % vacuum .
- One-hand operation: manual push-pull or wireless remote options mean a single operator can cycle a sheet in <30 s .
- Space-saving footprint: the 360° slewing arm extends 2–5 m from a Ø300 mm concrete base, freeing gantry cranes for die changes .
- Snap-on customization: suction pads slide along a rectangular clamp for 2-, 4-, 6-, 8- or 12-point layouts; swap pads in <2 min to match new sheet sizes .

Typical ROI in three months
• Labor: one operator replaces 2–3 riggers—annual saving ≈ USD 30 k
• Uptime: 24/7 lights-out feeding increases laser/plasma cutting hours by 35 %
• Quality: zero gripper marks or scratches reduce re-work by 18 % on painted or polished sheets
