Electric vacuum lifter 100 kg with automatic air supply

Overview

Electric vacuum lifter 100 kg with automatic air supply: an electric gripster with an oval suction pad. For around €23, the manufacturer quotes a load capacity of 100 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 265 oval vacuum lifters in this comparison, it ranks in the cheapest quarter. At 100 kg, its load capacity is 160 kg below the typical value for this design (260 kg). That works out at 435 kg of capacity per €100 spent; the median is 341 kg.

Drive and operation

If the vacuum drops, the tool automatically pumps back up.

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 and glass.
