Available for most of Powr-Grip's® below-the-hook vacuum lifters, this option consists of an auxiliary vacuum generating system with an independent power source, which is designed to maintain vacuum in the event of a power failure. The DC Vacuum Back-Up System is ideal for use wherever AC or compressed air power is not reliable or whenever the added security of an secondary power system is desired.

• universal compatibility - can be installed on most powered vacuum lifters, including retrofit applications
• automatic vacuum monitoring - senses when potentially hazardous condition exists and automatically responds to prevent hazard
• battery powered - power source is completely independent from the vacuum lifter's main power system
• battery gauge and test button - allows operator to verify battery strength before and during use
• integrated battery charger - option comes complete with approved AC to DC charging system
• durable enclosure - protects vacuum pump and other system components from environmental exposure

• Power Source: 12 volts DC, 10 amps
• Battery Capacity: 7 amp-hours
• Vacuum Pump: Diaphragm type, 1 SCFM [28 liters/minute] nominal airflow
• Weight: 20 lbs [9 kg]

How It Works:
The DC Vacuum Back-Up System requires minimal interaction from the operator: Once activated, it continuously monitors the vacuum level in the lifter's primary vacuum system. If the primary system ever fails to maintain the minimum level required for lifting, the Back-Up System's vacuum pump turns on automatically to maintain adequate vacuum.
