Material to be handled

The OKTOPUS® GL-GS 3000 is suitable for handling flat glass panes, curved glass panes (concave or convex, bending radius ≥ 4,0 m) and window elements. The suction areas of the elements to be lifted must be air-impermeable, have to have an even and clean surface and must not be covered with protective foil.

Description

The vacuum based load lifting attachment OKTOPUS® GL-GS 3000 is designed to handle glass panes and window elements with a maximum weight of up to 3000 kg on construction sites.

The suction frame can be rotated hydraulically by 360°. All functions are operated with a cable remote control (optional radio remote control). The necessary negative pressure in the suction pads is generated by a 24 V DC operated vacuum pump. To improve the releasing behavior of the pane, the device is equipped with a blow-off function.

Deviations from the nominal condition are indicated by optical and acoustical warning devices. Even in the case of complete energy breakdown, vacuum remains in each suction pad for at least 5 minutes. In this way a secure lowering of the load can be ensured at all times.
