PipeVac Lifting System
The PipeVac® is an industrial vacuum lifting system that is powered by the hydraulics of a host machine. The system is designed to safely lift materials such as steel, concrete, HDPE, and ductile to name a few. A quick vacuum pad cllange allows you to switch from 4" – 48" pipe. ONE system is all you need! Minimal maintenance, maximum power. Cost per lift is fractional when compared to diesel-powered models. PipeVac,® the safest, most advanced vacuum lifter on the market.
Features:
Safety First
We have put the solution right in the palm of the operator’s hand with our new SmartliftTechnology® wireless remote. Our transmitter lets the operator know if they have as a safe lift or not-no guess work required!Hydraulic Drive
PipeVac Lifting Systems® are powered by the host machine’s existing hydraulics. No longer is that noisy and expensive diesel or gas engine needed. Less hassle, better performance.Vacuum Pads
Our revolutionary new design allows you to SAFELY lift a wider range of pipe diameters with fewer vacuum pad SKUs.Engineering
PipeVac Lifting Systems® meet and/or exceed ASME/ANSI B30.20 2013 and BTH-2014, as well as being CE certified and OSHA compliant. How many different sized vacuum lifters do you need? The answer is ONE, the PipeVac. The days of needing four or five different models are behind you! The smart choice, the right choice, the only choice – PipeVac Lifting Systems®Smartlift Technology®
Every PipeVac Lifting System® is manufactured with Smart lift Technology.® From its sleek, lightweight design to its revolutionary hydraulic-drive system. Each component is selected with safety, performance, and durability in mind and an on-board GPS module guarantees you know where your equipment is at all times.
PipeVac vs. The Competition:
PipeVac Lifting System:
Hydraulic Power
One System rated for
4" – 48" pipe
Nine pads for standard ranges of
steel pipe size, 4” – 48”
Zero Emissions – No fuel/CARB compliant
Less Maintenance, no engine and fewer filters
Zero Engine noise; safer job site
Lift capacity: 26 tonne – 57,200 lb.
ONE size fits all
65mm greaseless Xylan pin never needs lubrication
High-strength steel alloy;
exceptional weight to lift capacity ratio
Superior pad seal and vac pad design; natural rubber material is more regenerative; 40% more seal means more lifts and better value
Conical seat valve – does not drain reservoir after each lift and
does NOT freeze in frigid temperatures
Lightweight/compact cradle
shipping system
Cooler operating temperature reduces
wear of materials
LED safety lights are highly visible and
produce less heat
Lower overall
operating cost
Wireless transmitter option: smaller, Smartlift Technology
design – “safe” or “not safe” to lift on transmitter
360-degree rotation
Bigger vacuum pump and closing valve allow for quicker
recovery time and less build up timeOther Lifting Systems:
Deisel Engine
Five Different Systems – 10,12,16,20 & 25 ton for same range of pipe
Deisel emissions – fuel requires, not CARB compliant
Deisel engine maintenance in addition to vacuum machine maintenance (most models)
Excessive noise; increases safety risk
Lift capacities: Five models ranging from 22,000 – 55,000 lb. capacity
Grease pin daily
Five models with varying weights and capacities; mild steel frame
Rigid pad seal; one-time use; inferior seal quality and more pad seal changes
Piston-type valve – Not moisture sealed; freezes in frigid temperatures
Heavy/bulky full frame shipping and
storage system
Higher internal temperatures because
of diesel engine
Traditional lighting – Harder to see and produces more heat
Higher operating costs associated with fuel and maintenance
Lacking similar features
Not all models have 360-degree rotation
Smaller pump and reservoir all models; slower recovery
