The VacLift is a vacuum lifting attachment that allows excavators and other earthmoving machinery to quickly and safely manoeuvre pipes around a worksite, and into trenches for effective pipe installation. The VacLift is made up of a “shoe” and a rubber seal. The “shoe” sucks the pipe into its grasp with no need for rigging or complex lifting techniques, while the rubber seal prevents the shoe from damaging pipe coating, which can often occur with traditional machinery lifting methods. The VacLift also comes available for hire in a range of sizes and is capable of effectively catering to all pipeline specifications.

The VacLift’s pipeline lifting capacity depends only on the machine it is attached to. It makes the lifting process simpler, safer, and less labour-intensive by eliminating the need for rigging techniques. Simply attach and VacLift!

Key features include:

The VacLift takes less than one minute to move a pipe, compared to traditional slinging methods’ average of four minutes. This efficiency leads to significant cost savings.

With no labourers required on the ground, and complete operator control over the pipe’s movements, the VacLift minimises hazards to operator and labourer safety.
