Custom vacuum lifter with extra safety features

Handling paper rolls using vacuum technology comes with a challenge. Adding extra safety features allows us to maintain enough vacuum in case of power outage.

Storage efficiency for tunnelling segments

As production volumes increase, many manufacturers are looking for smarter and more efficient solutions. A recent project with AFCONS shows what’s possible.

Vacuum lifter for underwater use

For decades vacuum technology has been widely used to handle various types of products. But can one use a vacuum lifter underwater?

Increasing safety at the pipe yard

Vacuum lifters provide safety and efficiency at pipe yards. Likewise in this full storage yard with pipes stacked meters high.

Transport to cutting machine

A vacuum lifter to transport steel plates to a cutting machine. A telescopic suspension to increase lifting range.

Demoulding 2.0 – More efficient, more fun

More efficient and more fun demoulding, lifting and turning. These concrete slab lifters optimise efficiency.

Demoulding and turning tunnel segments

Demoulding, lifting, and turning of tunnel segments and keystones in one movement. Safe and efficient!

Optimalisation pipe yard

This customer in India is in the process of automating their pipe yard. Goals: increasing efficiency and safety.

Lifting solution in the production of houses

Solution to demould, lift and turn precast concrete housing elements during production.

Lifting thin metal sheets with care

Easy lifting of thin metal sheets and tube profiles. All by one vacuum lifter.

Pipe lifting solution to increase safety and efficiency

To handle ductile iron pipes in a storage yard, we designed a pipe lifting solution to increase safety and efficiency.

Lifting concrete piles (time saving of 70%)

The expected time saving for this project is 70%! All due to the easy and fast lifting by the aid of vacuum technology.

Loading and unloading ships and trucks

To load and unload ships and trucks, this customer uses lifting magnets. We designed a vacuum lifting device as back-up.

Demould, lift, turn, and move in less than 4 minutes

Vacuum turner to handle precast concrete elements. The complete cycle to return to the starting postition is less than 4 minutes.

Pipe lifting solution inside a ship’s cargo hold

Lifting solution to handle bare and coated pipes aboard a ship.

Handling prefabricated wind turbine blades

This Aerolift vacuum lifter is specially designed to match the unique shape of this prefabricated blade.

Lifting wind turbine blade up to 65 meters long

For this project we were approached to come up with a lifting solution which excludes the risk of damage to the blade.

Heavy lifting solution up to 85 tons!

World’s largest vacuum lifter is designed and built by Aerolift. To lift the heavy steel plates of a wind turbine tower.

Big diameter pipe lifting

Vacuum lifter which operates at an inside and outside storage area of a Chinese customer.

World’s largest pipeline project Nord Stream 2 Pipeline

Almost all pipe handling movements at the Nord Stream 2 project are carried out by an Aerolift lifting solution.

Vacuum plate lifter in a pipe mill

Vacuum lifter to handle steel plates in a pipe mill in China. The lifter is used to transport steel plates to the pipe production.

Intelligent heavy-duty transport system for steel plates

Vacuum lifter which operates as part of an automatic crane. An intelligent heavy-duty transport system for heavy plates.

Lifting steel plates at outside storage area

The project was for two identical Aerolift vacuum lifters to lift steel plates of different dimensions.

Internal transport to and from the cutting machine

Vacuum lifter which operates as part of a automatic transfer station to a cutting machine.

Tunnelling lifting solution for Istanbul New Airport Line

Complete lifting solution for inside the tunnel boring machine. All movement are done by an Aerolift vacuum lifting device.

Tunnelling lifting solution for Red Line Project

For this project 6 TBMs are provided the Aerolift lifting solution to handle all tunnel segments.
