                LIKEST mechanical vacuum lifters do not rely 
                upon plant power, outside controls or complex accessories. These 
                self-controls or unit create their own vacuum grip 
                mechanically, giving them unmatched mobility for use in metal 
                fabricating plants, Effective on ferrous and nonferrous 
                metals, indoors and out-Wherever materials need to 
                be loaded, unloaded, stored, stacked, handled or transferred. 
                Mechanical lifters increase speed and efficiency of horizontal 
                handling of sheet and plate, fabrications and all  
                types of nonporous materials. One person simply attaches the 
                hook of a cane, hoist, or boom truck to the lifter, positions the 
                unit on the load and controls the entire handling operation 
                alone.  |

              Marble and 
              granite, which have been diamond saw finished and /or polished, are 
              perfect for a mechanical vacuum 
              lifter. If the stone or concrete you are handling has a rougher 
              surface texture, one of our electric or air powered  
              lifters with foam pads will do the job.
