Electric gripster P5 with digital display, 200 kg

Overview

Electric gripster P5 with digital display, 200 kg: an electric gripster with a round suction pad. For around €71, the manufacturer quotes a load capacity of 200 kg. It is sold without a brand name of its own, like many vacuum grippers 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. Its load capacity matches the typical value for this design (200 kg) almost exactly. That works out at 282 kg of capacity per €100 spent; the median is 347 kg.

Drive and operation

The pump runs on a built-in battery: compact and affordable, but the tool has to pause to recharge. 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.
