The Aerolift vacuum lifters are often provided with exchangeable suction pads. Thus, the same lifter can easily be used for lifting products of very different dimensions. Of course, we already used a quick coupling system. However, with this innovation, we reduced the number of actions required to connect and disconnect to just one!
The suction pad is connected with a twistlock, a commonly used locking system. In the design of the quick-change system, the vacuum hose is automatically connected when the suction pad is hooked up. In the previous situation, disconnecting the hose always involved an extra action. So, it saves human effort and also eliminates the risk of incorrect disconnection.
“At Aerolift we always look for opportunities to improve. How can a lifting process be made more efficient or safer? The quick-change system for suction pads makes changing suction pads easier, faster, and reduces the risk of incorrect connection.” Robert Lemm, CEO Aerolift.
