There are a variety of choices when it comes to lifting and maneuvering sheet metal, plate metal and related materials, but few have as many benefits as vacuum-attaching products from Wood's Powr-Grip®:
- Ergonomically designed to reduce worker fatigue and related injuries.
- Quick attachment and release to increase productivity.
- No wrestling with slings or hooks that can damage finishes and slow production.
- Attach directly to the face of sheets, keeping edges free for fabrication processes.
- Vacuum pads will not slip or damage the surface of smooth metals.
Whether you are loading CNC and water-jet machines, or processing and warehousing sheet metals, plate metals or other materials, WPG's broad range of below-the-hook vacuum lifters and hand-held vacuum cups makes your work faster and easier.
