Safe lifting and handling of steel, iron, and sheet metal: technologies and solutions
If you work in metal processing and industrial production, you know how delicate it is to lift slabs of iron, steel, and aluminum. These materials vary in size and thickness: some are thin and light, while others are large and heavy. The main risk? A poor grip that can cause falls, damage, and hazards to operators. For us, and for you, the priority is always the same: safety.

Relying on an experienced partner makes all the difference: we help you choose the right vacuum lifter for your production process. If you want to learn more before reaching out to us, read our article How to choose the right vacuum lifter for your project.
Industrial vacuum lifters for lifting
When handling metal, iron, or steel, weight and size are key factors. Some slabs can be extremely thin and therefore require a delicate grip to avoid deformation, while others can be very long, reaching several meters. In these cases, even distribution of suction points is essential to ensure stability and safety.
In order to choose the right vacuum lifter, weight is also a crucial feature: particularly heavy materials require appropriate lifting power. Additionally, smooth surfaces can compromise grip, but vacuum lifters provided with cutting-edge technology ensure safe and stable adhesion. Finally, in many applications, tilting is necessary to move the slabs more efficiently.
Features of Imperial vacuum lifters
Imperial vacuum lifters meet the needs of various industries and successfully tackle many challenges. They are designed to handle loads up to 1000 kg and stand out for:
- solid structure and multiple suction points, for even force distribution across the entire slab;
- individually removable suction plates, to adapt to different formats without compromising stability;
- models with 8 or 12 suction plates, capable of handling slabs and panels from 1.5 to 9 meters in length;
- optional tilting systems, with tilting angles from 0° to 90°;
- compressed air power supply, with an optional electric version upon request for greater versatility.
