Product Description

Vacuworx Compact Modular Vacuum Lifting System | Model CM 3 | Width 23" | Lift Capacity 6,600 lb | 10 GPM | For Skid Steer & Track Loader

DESCRIPTION

The Vacuworx CM 3 Compact Modular Vacuum Lifting System is a high-performance skid steer attachment engineered for precision, safety, and maximum productivity. Designed to handle up to 6,600 lb (3 tons), it transforms standard loaders into powerful vacuum lifting machines capable of moving concrete slabs, steel plates, pipe, granite, and heavy construction materials with ease.

Built with rugged all-steel construction, the CM 3 ensures long-term durability in demanding jobsite conditions. Its hydraulically driven vacuum pump operates efficiently using the host machine’s auxiliary hydraulics, requiring a minimum 10 GPM hydraulic flow. Despite its industrial strength, it maintains a lightweight design equivalent to a standard bucket, ensuring no loss of machine lifting capacity.

Featuring single or dual pad compatibility, wireless or manual remote operation, and quick-connect hydraulics, the CM 3 delivers unmatched versatility. It is the ideal solution for contractors seeking safer, faster, and more efficient material handling in construction, landscaping, and infrastructure projects.

Key Features

  • 6,600 lb Lifting Capacity Performance Delivers powerful vacuum lifting capability of up to 6,600 lb (3 tons), enabling safe handling of heavy concrete slabs, steel plates, and construction materials while reducing reliance on chains, hooks, and manual rigging methods.
  • Hydraulic Flow Efficiency Design Engineered for optimal performance using 10 GPM minimum hydraulic flow, the CM 3 integrates seamlessly with skid steers and loaders, ensuring consistent vacuum power without overloading the host machine’s hydraulic system.
  • Rugged All-Steel Construction Built with heavy-duty steel materials, the CM 3 ensures maximum durability and resistance to harsh jobsite conditions, delivering long service life even in demanding construction, demolition, and infrastructure environments.
  • Single or Dual Pad Flexibility Supports both single and dual pad configurations, allowing operators to lift different material sizes and weights efficiently, improving adaptability across concrete, steel, pipe, and landscaping applications.
  • Wireless Remote Operation Control Available with manual or wireless remote control systems, enabling safe, precise operation from a distance while improving operator safety and jobsite efficiency during complex lifting tasks.
  • No Impact on Machine Lift Capacity Designed to match the weight of a standard bucket, ensuring the skid steer or loader maintains its original lifting performance without reduced productivity or stability during operation.
  • Quick-Connect Hydraulic System Includes quick-connect hydraulic hoses and factory pre-set flow control, allowing fast attachment and removal while ensuring consistent performance and reduced downtime on busy job sites.
  • Vacuum Tough Seal Technology Equipped with advanced Tough Seal pads that provide superior grip on rough or uneven surfaces while preventing damage to materials like concrete, marble, granite, and steel.
  • Case Drain-Free Operation Option Innovative accumulator design allows operation on machines without a case drain, increasing compatibility across a wider range of skid steers and compact loaders.
  • Adjustable Dual Pad Spread System Dual pad configuration adjusts from 61 in to 85 in (outside-to-outside), enabling secure lifting of varying material dimensions for improved jobsite versatility.
  • Fast Attachment System Universal mounting assembly allows quick installation on multiple host machines, reducing setup time and increasing operational efficiency across multiple job locations.
  • Removable Storage Legs Design Features removable steel legs for safe storage and transport, enhancing portability while protecting equipment when not in active use.
  • Multi-Industry Application Use Ideal for construction, landscaping, concrete removal, highway works, manufacturing, and utility projects, making it a versatile solution for contractors across industries.

Customer photo review of Ferntree Mini Excavator Forestry Mulcher | Model FF-L Series | 22"-30" Cutting Width | Machine Size 2.5- 6 Ton | For Mini Excavator

easy buying process and great communication. Mulcher works great, easily clears overgrown brush and even mulched a 5" thick mulberry tree fairly easily. running it off of my old 331 bobcat with no problem powering the drum at all. Only small issue which isn't a big deal is that the supplied hoses are about 16" too short to operate a full range of motion.

Ferntree Mini Excavator Forestry Mulcher | Model FF-L Series | 22"-30" Cutting Width | Machine Size 2.5- 6 Ton | For Mini Excavator

Over all built well. I like it is all cast iron and metal and not plastic. Had to modify fertilizer disc mount to fit correctly, nothing major, a little grinding. I modified the center link hitch point to accommodate my John Deere quick hitch. Have yet to plant with it but I’m sure it will work perfect. Love the grease fittings everywhere. Reminds me of the old farm equipment I grew up on, and still use periodically.

Cole 12 MX Multiflex Planter | Model B46-664A / 0120103 | Width 13" | Size: One Row | 3PT Hitch Planter Attachment | Horsepower 25–45 HP | For Tractor

My firminator RT was delivered in good condition in ND. I will be using it next week. I have a 45 HP John Deere tractor that is supposed to lift 2000 lb but really struggles to lift this 6 foot firminator RT. I will just have to use in as a two pass operation for now. I do wish there was a better operating manual for this unit. Maybe that is something you can work on. I will give you an update once I start using it in a few days.

Put this on Kubota 900 with winch hookup. This thing is a beast (within reason). I named it β€˜Homie”, cause Homie don’t play. It will take care of stuff up to about 2” in diameter. You still have to remember that this is NOT like the ones on a bobcat or larger machinery. It does have its limits. But all in all I am very satisfied with it. Now on to the good part! The staff at Ripping It are outstanding! Especially Kayla in the office. She has gone above and beyond on making sure everything went right, from ordering to questions about installation. This young lady would be of great value at ANY company ! Her knowledge and personality are like over the top. This is my first experience with Ripping It Outdoors and I can only say positive things about them. With all that being said, I do fill out reviews on things I buy, AND I give a honest review. If it’s bad then you will know it. But if it’s good, well I tell the truth ! Again Kayla, from the bottom of my heart, a great big THANK YOU for all your help and just talking to you. I feel like we’ve know each other for years!

TENT is easy to put up , material is tuff as told....only complaint is that i wish the bottom had about 3 to 4 inches overlap towards the inside so i could install a 2 x4 or something to help hold the tent down in high winds we have here in virginia thanks

Hi, my name is Ken. I’ve had a great experience with Ripping It Outdoors. I purchased a Forax Hp40 Mulcher for my mini excavator. Kayla Patterson is who I dealt with from the beginning until I received it at my house. She has been wonderful to work with and looking forward to working with her with any other orders I purchase. Kayla answered any questions I had and kept me updated throughout the whole process, can’t say it enough just a wonderful person to work with!!

Forax Ultralight Mulcher | Model HP40 | Cutting Width 40" | Carrier 2-4-Ton | For Excavators

These are great feeders if you don’t have any feral hogs but if the hogs tear off the wiring harness from the timer to the feeder motor, you’re disabled. Then, if you ask for help from Outback, they refer you to the dealer but really you’re on your own for parts and repairs. I have three Outback feeders that work as designed. They’re 13 years old and have always served well but this feeder misses the mark by a very high margin. I’d NEVER buy this product again. Feeders need to be dependable and this unit is not.
