Boxes and Cartons
Vacuum tube lifters are the ideal vacuum lift assist solution for box and carton handling. Whether you need to palletise, pack, or stack boxes of any size the Palamatic Vacuum Lifter can help.
A standard vacuum lifter can help an operator to stack cartons up to 2.5m (98"). A telescopic control handle can be utilized to allow an operator to lift from stacks of 2.75m.
Doors
Common panel handling problems relate to the awkward nature of the payload - particularly so for CNC, Router, Edge Bander, and Beam Saw loading operations. Palamatic’s board, panel, door and furniture lifting systems take the strain away from the operator, replace it with a user-friendly vacuum powered lift assister, and protect your product from accidental damage.
Boards
Palamatic is the leading supplier of Vacuum Tube Lifting Systems to the Woodworking industry.
The Palamatic vacuum tube lifting systems are safe, durable, and effective tools to take the weight up to 350kg and stress out of manual handling tasks. Vacuum lifters can be used as a lift to assist workers in performing repetitive tasks such as re-stacking and machine loading. These manual handling tasks can include board lifting, 180° board turning and 90° manual panel turning (ideal for a vertical panel saw loading).
Packaging
Reels of the packaging material can be picked, lifted, and rotated using a Palamatic vacuum tube lifter. Print bundles can be picked from the machine, where they may stand on a slight angle, moved over to an adjacent pallet, and stacked in any orientation.
Pallet Inspection
One of the biggest costs to manufacturers, retailers, and suppliers are distribution, Palamatic engineer solutions to manual handling problems within the logistics and warehouse distribution sector.
