Details
The AERO-PORO is a specialised vacuum lifting beam designed specifically for the transport of air-permeable and porous board materials.
Unlike standard lifters that require an airtight seal, the AERO-PORO utilises a powerful vacuum blower with a high volumetric flow rate. This technology compensates for air leakage through the material, allowing for the safe, ergonomic lifting of “leaky” goods like Chipboard, MDF, OSB, Porous Stone, Gypsum, and Composites that conventional vacuum systems cannot grip.
Applications for the Aero-Poro
The AERO-PORO is the ideal partner for a single operator to lift, transport, and swivel heavy panels up to 900 kg without physical strain or risk of damage to materials.
-
Timber Construction: Moving large OSB sheeting for wall elements.
-
Carpentry & Joinery: Feeding vertical panel saws with porous raw materials.
-
Furniture Manufacturing: Handling sensitive coated chipboard without surface damage.
- Customisable Workflow: Its modular design allows it to be adapted for specific load sizes, with options to extend the main crossbeam for extra-large materials
- Designed for indoor use.
Features of the Aero-Poro
-
-
Universal Handling: Capable of lifting virtually any wooden panel material, regardless of whether it is airtight or air-permeable (e.g., OSB, Particle Board, Soft Fibre Board).
- Safety systems: Integrated vacuum monitoring with acoustic and visual warning buzzer and LED’s.
-
Robust Safety: Equipped with a high-performance blower and an overrunning flywheel mass, ensuring vacuum pressure is maintained temporarily even during a power failure.
-
Durable Construction: Features a robust welded steel frame and galvanised adapter plates for maximum process reliability and longevity in industrial environments.
- Ergonomic Control: Integrated manipulation handle with easy-to-reach buttons for “Suction/Release” and swivelling, keeping the operator safely distanced from the load.
- Up to 900 kg load capacity: Handles industrial materials with ease.
- Modular Versatility: The AERO-LIFT modular system can be customised with various suction plate configurations and cross-beams to suit specific sheet sizes and weights.
- Flexible Positioning: Optional 90° swivel gear allows for stepless, jerk-free tilting, enabling operators to move panels from horizontal stacks to vertical saws or wall mounts.
- Integrated Motor Protection: Prevents winding damage to the vacuum generator, ensuring zero downtime.
-
Core Technical Specifications
- Load capacity: up to 900kg.
- Suction plates: 1 to 3 plates, depending on the model.
- Plate diameters: 120mm to 270mm.
- Main beam length: 2m or 3m (optional extension from 2 to 4 cross beams).
- Construction: Robust welded steel frame with hot-dip galvanised crossbars.
- Variants: Different suction plate diameters, cross beam lengths, handle lengths, suspension eyes, etc.
Note: Special models can handle panels up to 5.6 m x 3.2 m. Custom configurations for heavier loads are available upon request.
Optional Accessories
- Inlay panels for MDF: Thanks to the additional inlay panels, even fragile materials such as MDF boards can be lifted. The volume within the suction plate is reduced, and thus the pressure exerted on the workpiece decreases.
- Stepless & Jerk-Free Movement: Enables a smooth, continuous swivel from 0° to 90°. The swivel is powered by an electric drive, allowing a single operator to reposition heavy loads without manual effort.
- Chain Hoist Connection (-CH): Replaces the standard CEE connector with a spiral cable and Harting connector to power the lifter directly from the hoist, keeping the workspace clear of cables.
- Holder bag: A holder bag for the crane’s control bulb to be mounted on the lifting device.
- Cable drum: 5m and 10m Cable drum for indoor use.
