Glass vacuum lifters: efficiency, speed and safety
Handling glass requires a constant balance between strength and millimetric precision. Safety becomes an integral part of efficiency, especially when large glass panels need to be rotated, tilted, and precisely put in place. These are everyday operations in construction sites, industrial sectors, and, more generally speaking, in all companies dealing with glass.
The consequences of using the wrong lifter
Lifting glass with non-specialized systems leads to serious issues. Micro-damage caused by vibrations or uneven pressure can compromise the structural integrity of the slab itself. In addition, these operations require extra caution, which also means operational slowdowns, higher safety-related costs, and the impossibility of handling large or heavy glass panels.
Multi-plate technology: Karat line stands for glass
Karat line was developed through direct observation of daily challenges and hands-on experience. Users of Manzelli glass lifters immediately feel in control: the multi-plate technology distributes weight evenly across the entire surface. Every component is designed with real-world site and production line needs in mind—from ergonomics and durability to easy maintenance. The system adapts to workflow, guarantees stability even with vibrations, and manages to adapt to various glass thicknesses and sizes.
Our glass vacuum lifters stand out for their versatile configurations, and they are developed to meet any operational need. Our systems range from 4 to 16 suction plates, allowing precise handling of both small panels and large industrial glass. Orientation control is provided by models with tilting from 0 to 90° (manual, electric, or pneumatic), and continuous rotation systems up to 360° (manual or electric), or 90°/180° using pneumatic technology.
To easily integrate into different work environments, we offer electric or pneumatic power supply options, compatible with existing energy systems. With certified lifting capacity up to 1400 kg and high safety coefficients, these vacuum lifters are reliable even in complex conditions.
