OKTOPUS® GLASS-Jack GL-M7000

Vacuum lifter for construction site use with hydraulic rotating and tilting function, hydraulic glass gripper and optional motor-driven counterweight balancer

Dual-circuit system

2 independent vacuum circuits, each vacuum circuit with 2-fold safety and integrated vacuum reservoir
for construction site use according to DIN EN 13155

Use

Handling flat glass panes and window elements as well as long, narrow glass fins. 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 film.

Description

The vacuum based load lifting attachment OKTOPUS® GL-M 7000 DES So 435 R EA B24 P is designed to handle large-sized glass panes and window elements with a maximum weight of up to 7,000 kg. It is equipped with a dual-circuit vacuum system for construction site use according to DIN EN 13155. The crane eye of the device allows attaching the device to an existing hoist (provided by the customer). The device is equipped with a suction frame for the installation of large-sized glass facade elements up to 7,000 kg and a specific suction frame for the installation of vertical glass fins up to 1,600 kg.

The suction frames can be hydraulically rotated by 360° endless and tilted by 90°. An optional available counterweight balancer with motor-driven counterweights serves to balance the load. The operating and display elements are arranged ergonomically and allow comfortably positioning and moving the load. The electrically operated vacuum pump is supplied with energy by a 24 V DC battery system. Deviations from the nominal condition are indicated by optical and acoustical warning devices. Even in the case of complete energy breakdown the vacuum remains for at least 5 minutes in each suction pad. In this way a secure lowering of the load can be ensured at all times.
