Aerolift Handling Solutions

Whenever possible, we design handling equipment based on vacuum technology . We are convinced that vacuum handling offers many advantages compared to other lifting methods. However, not all products are suitable for this process. That’s why, for these situations, we design mechanical lifting solutions that offer similar benefits.

The requests we receive are very diverse: handling concrete elements, wind turbine blades, metal plates, pipes, paper rolls, glass, and more. Over the years, we have developed handling solutions for many industries. Whatever the product and whatever its use, to design a perfectly adapted solution, we need information on:

…the product that needs to be handled

What type of material would you like to handle? If possible, we design a solution de levage par le vide , as long as the product has a perfectly airtight surface. This is the only requirement for a secure connection between the product and the suction cup(s). All suction cups are custom-made to perfectly match the shape of the product. The vacuum lifting system is suitable not only for flat products, but also for round and architectural objects.

The number and dimensions of the suction cups depend on the weight of the products. If necessary, our engineering team can take cutouts into account, even if their position varies from one product to another. It is also possible to design a vacuum lifting system adapted to products with varying dimensions of different sizes. You simply need to provide us with the specifications of each product you want to handle, and Aerolift will take care of everything. If your product is not suitable for vacuum lifting, explore our mechanical lifting equipment without vacuum.

…the movements that the vacuum lifting device must perform

Une fois les spécifications du produit définies, nous souhaitons connaître les mouvements à effectuer. S’agit-il uniquement de lifting and moving the product, or is it also necessary to rotate it? Depending on the requirements, we design lifting suction cups capable of positioning products in any required orientation.

…the equipment you would like to use in combination with our lifting suction cup

Although Aerolift develops standalone vacuum lifting systems, they are often used in combination with other equipment such as mobile cranes, forklifts, overhead cranes, gantries, excavators, telescopic handlers, straddle carriers, stackers, and more. To design a custom solution, we take into account both the product to be handled and the equipment used with the vacuum technology. This allows us to provide the best recommendations on the machine best suited to your needs and preferences.

…the situation in which you will be operating

To ensure optimal operation, we need to know the conditions in which the vacuum lifting system will be used. Is it intended for indoor or outdoor use? The lifting systems Aerolift vacuum lifting systems are not very sensitive to temperature variations, but we can incorporate heating elements into key components if necessary. We have also designed devices capable of operating at extremely high temperatures. For example, we use a type of rubber that maintains its properties up to 220 °C. Other applications include underwater operation, high-altitude environments, extremely dusty conditions, or confined spaces.
