The largest suction pads
Sorted by diameter or area of the suction pad. Identical devices appear only once.
This ranking sorts vacuum lifters by the size of their suction pad: round models by diameter, oval and rectangular ones by area. The most common size is 8 inches, roughly 200 mm: 119 of the 200 round models have this size.
How to read this ranking
At the same vacuum level, a larger suction area theoretically produces more holding force. However, the rated load capacity does not automatically follow the size: the 10-inch models in the database typically state 150 kg, the 8-inch models 220 kg.
What to watch out for
The suction pad must sit fully on a flat surface. A gripster with a large pad is therefore unsuitable for small tiles, strips or baseboards. Choose the size based on the smallest workpiece you want to lift. For a direct comparison, see 8 inch vs. 10 inch; shapes are compared in Round vs. oval.
