        Clad Boy FAQs

        The Clad Boy vacuum lifter is suitable for lifting a range of panels. It is a great solution for lifting composite panels (including Kingspan panels), structural decks, and insulated guttering. To discuss the full capabilities of the Clad Boy and find the best vacuum lifter for your needs, get in touch with our vacuum lifter specialists.

        The Clad Boy Vacuum Lifter is not suitable for glass panels. For glass panel lifting we recommend the Glass Boy, Cool Boy, or a GRABO handheld vacuum lifter. Which vacuum lifter is right for you will depend on your particular requirements. We are happy to discuss your needs and match you with the right vacuum lifter for the job.

        Both the Cool Boy and Clad Boy vacuum lifters are excellent models with impressive specs. However, they serve different purposes. The Cool Boy is designed for flat (or minimal profile) wall panels. The Clad Boy is more versatile. It offers a range of configurations which accommodate roof and wall panels in a variety of profiles.
