Battery vacuum gripper 29.9 kg with LED indicator, 2,000 mAh

Overview

Battery vacuum gripper 29.9 kg with LED indicator, 2,000 mAh: an electric vacuum gripper with a narrow, rectangular suction pad. For around €265, the manufacturer quotes a load capacity of 30 kg. It is sold without a brand name of its own, like many vacuum lifters made in China.

Price and load capacity compared

Among the 51 narrow vacuum grippers in this comparison, it ranks in the most expensive quarter. At 30 kg, its load capacity is 70 kg below the typical value for this design (100 kg). That works out at 11 kg of capacity per €100 spent; the median is 148 kg.

Drive and operation

A swappable battery powers the pump. With a second battery you can keep working without interruption. Battery capacity is 2,000 mAh. LEDs signal whether the vacuum is holding.

Seal and applications

The seal is made of foam. It adapts to grooves, textures and slight unevenness, but wears faster than rubber and should be available as a spare part.
