In the fast-paced world of metal fabrication, efficient and safe sheet metal handling is a cornerstone of productivity. Whether loading/unloading from cutting machines or maneuvering materials across workshops, the challenges of handling sheet metal—from natural bending to varying sizes—can hinder operations. This is where Herochu’s sheet metal lifting devices, specifically its advanced vacuum lifters, emerge as a game-changing solution. Designed to streamline workflows and enhance safety, Herochu vacuum lifters are redefining how industries handle sheet metal, stainless steel, steel, aluminium, and non-ferrous materials.
Herochu’s vacuum lifters have gained widespread acclaim, particularly for handling sheet metal up to 3000x1500mm—the most popular format in workshops worldwide. But their versatility doesn’t stop there. These devices excel at managing both small and large sheet metal formats, making them a staple in facilities dealing with diverse production needs. Whether you’re moving compact panels or oversized sheets, Herochu’s design ensures consistent performance.
At the core of Herochu’s sheet metal lifting device is a robust horizontally fixed frame, standardly measuring 2000mm in length. This frame serves as the foundation for six precision-engineered suction plates, each crafted from vulcanised oil-resistant rubber. This material choice is deliberate: it withstands the rigors of industrial environments, resisting oils and wear to maintain reliable grip even in demanding conditions. But durability is just the start—these suction plates are equipped with an innovative spring system that addresses a common pain point in sheet metal handling: natural bending of sheets.
Sheet metal, especially larger formats, often bends slightly under its own weight, risking uneven loading and potential damage during transport. Herochu’s spring-equipped suction plates compensate for this bending by dynamically adjusting to the sheet’s contour. This ensures correct load balancing throughout the entire handling process, from lifting to placement, reducing the risk of material warping or worker strain. It’s a small detail that makes a huge difference in operational safety and material integrity.
What truly sets Herochu’s vacuum lifters apart is their adaptability, thanks to the telescopic supporting frame. Unlike fixed-size lifting devices that limit versatility, this extendable frame offers a wide gripping spread, reaching up to an impressive 5000mm in length. This means one device can handle everything from small sheet metal pieces to oversized panels, eliminating the need for multiple lifting tools. The ability to adjust the frame size to match the load also minimizes the device’s overall dimensions when not in use, saving valuable workshop space.
Whether you’re loading sheets onto cutting machines, transferring materials between workstations, or stacking finished products, Herochu’s vacuum lifters deliver consistent results. The combination of oil-resistant rubber suction plates, spring-loaded balancing systems, and telescopic frames ensures secure, efficient handling—no matter the sheet size or thickness. For small formats, the device remains compact and easy to maneuver; for larger formats, the extended frame provides stable support across the entire sheet surface.
In industries where precision and productivity matter, Herochu’s sheet metal lifting devices stand out as a reliable solution. They reduce manual labor, lower the risk of material damage, and adapt seamlessly to changing production needs. If you’re looking to optimize your sheet metal handling processes, Herochu’s vacuum lifters offer the perfect blend of innovation, durability, and versatility.
