Vacuworx International is the global leader in manufacturing in-field vacuum lifting equipment. Our Vacuworx Lifting Systems are widely recognized as the best technology for the safe and cost-effective handling of large (and small!) materials in the field.
The Vacuworx Systems handle all forms of pipe, plate, and slabs including steel, plastic, concrete and cast-iron. Our lifters attach to excavators, wheel or track loaders, cranes, pipe layers, and forklifts, and can handle surfaces with a variety of coatings (tape, FBE, coal tar, concrete, etc.) as well as somewhat uneven surfaces.
The Vacuworx Advantage is based on three key elements: unique product design, top quality fabrication, and 24-hour sales and service 365 days a year. As a result of these fundamentals, our clients realize other important advantages.
Safety
Fewer ground personnel reduces the risk of accident
Conforms to ANSI/ASME standards section B30.20a-2006 and
AUS 4991
No pipe hooks to set or chains to wrap means no damage to coatings
Speed
Much shorter loading and unloading cycles
Any pipe surface, and somewhat uneven surfaces, can be handled
Pipe can be stockpiled without spacers
Most coatings can be handled
Cost
Fewer ground personnel required means lower payroll costs
In some applications, certain types of concrete pipe can be joined without additional ground crew
Much quicker and therefore more economical than pipe hooks, pipe forks or pipe tongs
