Electric 6-inch (152 mm) vacuum lifter, 90 kg, with display

Overview

Electric 6-inch (152 mm) vacuum lifter, 90 kg, with display: an electric vacuum gripper with a round suction pad (Ø 152 mm). For around €70, the manufacturer quotes a load capacity of 90 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 200 round vacuum grippers in this comparison, it is priced slightly above the median of €60. At 90 kg, its load capacity is 110 kg below the typical value for this design (200 kg). That works out at 129 kg of capacity per €100 spent; the median is 347 kg.

Drive and operation

The battery is built in. That saves weight and cost, but means a charging break when it runs flat. It charges via USB-C, so with the same cable and charger as your phone or laptop. Battery capacity is 2,000 mAh. A digital display shows the vacuum level and battery charge.

Seal and applications

The sealing lip is rubber. On smooth surfaces such as glass, polished tiles and stone it seals very tightly and lasts a long time; on rough or textured surfaces it is at a disadvantage. According to the data sheet it is suitable for tiles, large-format tiles, glass and natural stone.
