The eT-Hover-univac range of vacuum lifting devices is expanding: It now includes the eT-Hover-univac-line. The newly developed lifting device is a more compact, lightweight version of the eT-Hover-univac.

The eT-Hover-univac is designed as an attachment for crane and lifting equipment. It is suitable for lifting and moving large-surface loads made of glass, wood, metal, stone or plastic. The vacuum lifting device eT-Hover-univac-line is also an attachment for crane and lifting equipment and compatible with the same materials. It is more compact and lighter than its predecessor, making it even more convenient for building areas.

“The eT-Hover-univac-line is suitable for all applications that involve lifting and moving narrow loads,” product manager Andreas Beuter explains. “Take the assembly of a conservatory, for instance: Tall, narrow windows need to be moved and installed. The lifting devices allows you to handle very narrow loads effortlessly.”

Suction plates arranged in a line

It also has a manual turning function. The eT-Hover-univac-line can be turned continuously by 360° and has an automatic locking option at steps of 45°. Manual pivoting of the device by up to 90° is also possible. Like the eT-Hover-univac, this device is operated using buttons on the case. A wireless controller is optionally available. Two handles make the device easy to position and guide. An electric carrier arm for automatic pivoting is optionally available.

In addition to glass, the lifting device is capable of lifting and moving flat loads made up of materials such as wood, metal, stone or plastic.

The eT-Hover-univac-line has a two-circuit system and four suction plates arranged – as the name suggests – in a straight line. In vertical mode, the lifting device can lift loads with a weight of up to 360 kilogrammes; in horizontal mode, up to 500 kilogrammes. These loads can have dimensions of up to 2.5 x 1 metres. An extended main beam can increase the maximum length to 4 metres.

The two-circuit system and the lightweight, compact design of the eT-Hover-univac-line make it highly suitable for operation on building sites. Multiple security and warning systems designed in accordance with DIN EN 13155 prevent operation errors and hazards.
