Features of our sheet lifters
Our sheet lifters are built for heavy-duty tasks, combining robustness with flexibility. Designed as on-demand solutions, each unit is tailored to your company’s needs, enhancing productivity and ensuring safe, precise handling.
Sheet lifter’s features
These are the features of the Airpes’ sheet lifter:
- Hydraulic heavy duty system for reliable performance
- Electro mechanic part (including PLC to assure good use and avoid damages)
- Integrated lighting system for improved visibility
- The product can be protected by extra plastic pads and supplies to reduce damage.
- Customizable dimensions, capacity, and control features based on your crane’s specs and operational needs.
Optional upgrades for enhanced functionality
You can improve our sheet lifter with additional features:
-
- Integrated heavy-duty crane scale for real-time load monitoring.
- Radio control system for remote operation and data retrieval.
- On-site data printer for operational records and compliance tracking.
Types of sheet lifters
- Vacuum Sheet Lifters: Ideal for smooth, non-porous surfaces, using suction power to lift materials without damaging them.
- Mechanical Sheet Lifters: Suitable for heavy-duty applications, providing robust grip and versatility for rougher surfaces.
Both options are designed for ease of operation, reduced downtime, and maximum operator safety.
The choice depends on:
- Material type and surface condition
- Weight and dimensions of sheets
- Operational frequency and environment
