Modular vacuum tilters for efficient lifting and tilting

The Aerolift T-series are vacuum lifters with an integrated tilting function, combining lifting and 90˚ or 180˚ tilting in a single movement. Thanks to their modular design, the machine configuration and suction pads can be engineered to match various product shapes, such as precast concrete elements and tunnel segments. An optional quick-exchange coupler lets you swap suction pads quickly and easily, reducing downtime when handling different products.
