STANDARD VT SYSTEMS
The Standard Vacuum Tube Lift Systems have a wide
range of applications and have traditionally been the most
popular choice of users. They are available in tube
diameters of 160 mm (6.3") for the Model VT160, 180
mm (7.1") for the Model VT180 and 200 mm (7.9") for
the Model VT200.
Redesigned for Improved Operation
The latest models of these popular systems have been
redesigned for improved operation and load lifting
capability using only the highest quality manufacturing
processes and componentry.
Corrosion Resistant
The control head, handle, and control knobs are
manufactured using electro-polished heavy gauge
stainless steel for corrosion resistance.
Precise Control
The redesigned conical flow valve allows the operator
to precisely control the vacuum power, resulting in a
much smoother, more ergonomic and user-friendly
control than that provided with competitive units.
Smooth Operations
The Standard VT Lifter features include an extended
length handle bar that is easier to grasp and fully
protected operator controls for smoother operation.
Low Price
These continuous design and quality improvements have
actually allowed us to decrease prices for the most
popular of these models, making them affordable for a
wide lifting range.
Our Standard Model VT-160-2.5 with a 2.5 meter long lift tube
has been a consistent top seller. Available with a variety of
pumps, it is known as a work horse and an industry favorite.

The VT Tube Lift Systems are designed for high production use. With their continuous duty cycle, unlimited starts
and stops per minute are possible, and vacuum attachment to and release of the load is instantaneous.
Easy to Operate
All the VT Vacuum Tube Lift Sytems use the same
basic operating principle: a remotely connected
vacuum pump produces a vacuum in the lifting tube
and control head. As the control head and pad
attachments are placed on the object to be lifted,
the pads seal upon the object and the vacuum in
the lift tube increases, causing the lift tube to contract,
raising the load. As the vacuum (continuously
controlled and regulated by the operator using the
control handle) is decreased, the lift tube expands,
lowering the load. A simple, reliable means for a single
operator to effortlessly handle virtually any load.
Rugged Construction
The Standard VT pad attachments are mounted to the
system control head with a total of six bolts for
improved rigidity and added security.
Important Note:
These capacity ranges should only be used as general guidelines. Actual system capacities are dependent on several factors (load surface
porosity, load density, vacuum station, pad attachment, etc.) We offer many combinations of VT Tube Lifting systems within each model
range.  Contact us for a free evaluation and recommendation of a system combination that will most economically and safely satisfy your
material handling requirements.
