Vacuum Lifting Devices VacuMaster Basic
Lift capacity up to 750 kg
The VacuMaster Basic’s versatile standard equipment makes it indispensable for many applications. In addition, the VacuMaster Comfort offers an operator handle that brings together all of the device’s controls as well as a controlled vacuum generator for reducing energy consumption.
Efficient and damage-free handling of large loads
Ergonomic and healthy working conditions
Excellent work safety and process reliability thanks to vacuum reservoir and audible warning device
Long service life thanks to the robust material mix of steel, aluminum and high-strength plastic
Awarded the seal of approval by Aktion Gesunder Rücken e. V.
Schmalz vacuum lifters and crane systems support the back and musculoskeletal system when lifting light and heavy loads. They reduce strain and help to make the work environment ergonomic. This is confirmed by the independent association Aktion Gesunder Rücken e. V. (AGR) with its seal of approval.

Load beam
Integrated vacuum reservoir
The large vacuum reservoir prevents the load from falling in the case of a power failure and makes gripping faster during repeated lifting processes.

Vacuum pump EVE
Electric vacuum generator for smooth and suction-tight workpieces weighing up to 750 kg.
Vacuum ejector SBPL
Basic ejector with highest suction rate and low compressed air consumption.
Swiveling Operator Handle
Maximize stack heights
Large height differences are no problem with the swiveling operator handle. The working posture remains ergonomic in any position.
Vacuum Gripper Shut-Off
Adapts to changing workpieces
With the vacuum gripper shut-off valve several vacuum grippers can be turned off for handling of cut pieces or pieces with gaps.
Parking Stands
Secure storage of the lifting device
When the lifting device is not in use, the parking stands allow it to be stored securely while protecting the suction plates. This allows the crane to be used for other purposes.
CEE-Connect
Quick-connect electrical connection
The CEE plug suggests the lifting device to be easily connected to the power supply and then quickly disconnected if necessary.
Suction Plate Covers
Mark-free handling
The suction plate covers prevent the plates from leaving marks on sensitive workpieces such as glass sheets or solar panels.
Water Separator
Protection against water
The water separator prevents water from entering the vacuum generator during moist processes such as waterjet cutting.
