A new, heavy-duty, below-the-hook vacuum powered lifter for handling all ferrous and non-ferrous metals without the need for blocking or hooks is being introduced by Anver Corporation of Hudson, Massachusetts.

The Anver E-Series Mill-Duty Lifter features an all-welded steel frame and beam with multiple silicone sealing ring vacuum pads and a 16,000 capacity for handling ferrous and non-ferrous plates up to 8 x 12 ft. Designed for optimum safety, standard features include a control pendant that requires two-hand operation and if there is a loss of power, it has a self-contained vacuum reservoir, check valves, and leakage sensor with audio-visual alarms.

Available with four to eight vacuum pads with double spring suspensions, depending upon application, the Anver E-Series Mill-Duty Lifter is more versatile than a magnetic lifter with battery backup, claims the firm.

Options include controls that can be fully integrated with an overhead crane, custom suction pad materials and sizes, parking stands, and more.

The Anver E-Series Mill-Duty Lifter is priced from $21,995.00 up, depending upon configuration. Price quotations are available upon request.
