Glass Vacuum Lifter From World Experts
The GB-X boasts an impressive 400kg – 800kg carry weight. This is more than the GB-L but less than the larger, more heavy-duty GB-H. It offers the perfect middle ground – a comfortable balance of excellent lifting capacity and a sleek, compact design.
Offering a robust, reliable, and secure lifting option, this system is designed to handle a variety of glass panel types. Its versatility is evident in its 7 configurations, capable of accommodating glass panels measuring up to 4m x 4m. This dual-circuit lifter excels in effortlessly managing the installation of glass panels of different shapes and sizes.
