tube lifter

A tube lifter (also known as a vacuum tube lifter or vacuum lifting system) is a material handling device that uses vacuum technology to lift, move, and position a wide variety of goods in a safe, ergonomic, and efficient manner. It is especially useful in industries like warehousing, manufacturing, logistics, food processing, and packaging, where repetitive lifting of items such as boxes, sacks, sheets, drums, and panels is required.

The core component of a tube lifter is a flexible vacuum tube that creates suction between the lifting head and the object being moved. When the vacuum is activated (typically via a control handle), the object is securely gripped and lifted by the vacuum force. Operators can easily maneuver the load up, down, or sideways with minimal effort, thanks to the balancing effect of the vacuum system.
