This Certex/Aero-Lift 4000/4L is a high-capacity industrial vacuum lifting system engineered for the horizontal transport of heavy metal sheets, plates, and non-porous materials. Rated for 4,000 kg (8,800 lbs), this system is a staple in steel service centers and heavy fabrication shops. The included 10-ton spreader bar extends the unit's versatility, providing the necessary support for oversized loads that require wider pickup points to prevent material bowing.

Key Features

• 10-Ton Spreader Bar: While the vacuum unit is rated for 8,800 lbs, the heavy-duty 10-ton spreader bar ensures a rigid, flex-free lift for long-format plates, exceeding the structural requirements of the lifter itself.
• Redundant Safety Systems: Features an integrated vacuum reservoir and check valve. In the event of a power failure, the system is designed to hold the load securely for a minimum of 5 minutes.
• Damage-Free Picking: Unlike magnetic lifters or mechanical clamps, the vacuum interface leaves zero marks, scratches, or heat-affected zones on the material surface.
• Audible & Visual Alarms: Equipped with an EN13155-compliant warning system that alerts the operator to any vacuum loss before it becomes critical.
