Key Selling Points

• Rapid Productivity: Unlike traditional hoists, the VM180 uses vacuum for both gripping and lifting, allowing for incredibly fast cycle times—perfect for palletizing or production line feeding.
• Ergonomic Excellence: Designed to reduce worker fatigue by 90%, this unit allows an operator to move 80kg loads with just a few pounds of force at the handle.
• Fail-Safe Safety: Features an integrated safety check valve. In the event of a power loss, the vacuum pressure dissipates slowly, lowering the load gently to the ground rather than dropping it.
• Versatile Tooling: The quick-connect coupling system is compatible with a vast array of TAWI suction feet, including sack grippers, box tools, and custom clamps for porous materials.
