Product Description

Vacuworx Solar Panel Lifter & Pallet Curler System | Model SPL Series | Width 30.1" | 300 lb Capacity | Up To ~8 Ton | For Mini Excavator

DESCRIPTION

The Vacuworx Solar Panel Lifter SPL Series is a cutting-edge vacuum lifting and handling system designed to transform solar panel installation efficiency in the field. Engineered for mini excavators up to ~8 tons, this advanced solution delivers a 300 lb (136 kg) lifting capacity, ensuring safe, precise, and damage-free handling of delicate solar modules.

Featuring a 360° rotating vacuum pad system, 5 inches of vertical travel, and soft silicone pads, it minimizes panel stress while maximizing installation accuracy even in challenging conditions. The integrated 12V excavator-powered system eliminates the need for external power sources, improving operational efficiency.

Paired with the powerful Pallet Curler, which supports up to 3,000 lb rotation capacity, operators can effortlessly position and relocate solar panel pallets with 90° hydraulic rotation control. Designed for safety, productivity, and reduced labor fatigue, this system is the ultimate solution for modern solar energy installation projects.

Key Features

  • High-Efficiency Solar Handling System Designed specifically for solar panel installation, this system enables fast, safe, and controlled lifting of modules, reducing manual labor and increasing productivity in large-scale solar field operations.
  • 300 lb Vacuum Lifting Capacity Handles up to 300 lb (136 kg) with precision vacuum technology, ensuring secure grip and smooth transport of fragile solar panels without cracks, stress, or surface damage during installation.
  • 360° Rotating Vacuum Pads Allows full circular rotation for perfect panel alignment in any direction. This flexibility ensures accurate placement even in uneven terrain or tight installation spaces on-site.
  • 5-Inch Vertical Pad Travel Protects panels from impact and misalignment by allowing vertical cushioning movement. This reduces breakage risk and enhances safe handling during uneven lifting or placement conditions.
  • Soft Silicone Vacuum Pads Engineered with non-abrasive silicone material, these pads ensure gentle contact with solar surfaces, eliminating scratches and preserving panel integrity during lifting and positioning operations.
  • Mini Excavator Compatibility Optimized for mini excavators up to ~8 tons, making it ideal for compact construction and solar installation sites where maneuverability and precision equipment are essential.
  • 12V Integrated Power System Powered directly from the excavator’s electrical system, eliminating external batteries or generators. This ensures continuous operation and reduces equipment setup complexity.
  • Quick Change Adapter System Compatible with a wide range of host machines using quick hitch adapters, allowing fast installation and interchangeability across different job site equipment setups.
  • Folding Storage Legs Design Compact folding legs make transportation and storage easier, reducing space requirements while improving portability and on-site operational convenience.
  • Captured Ball Joint Connections Ensures stable vacuum pad alignment and flexibility during operation, improving suction consistency and enhancing control over delicate solar panels.
  • Pallet Curler 90° Rotation System Enables controlled rotation of solar panel pallets up to 90°, ensuring optimal horizontal positioning for efficient installation workflow and reduced handling time.
  • 3,000 lb Pallet Handling Capacity Built for heavy-duty solar pallet movement, supporting up to 3,000 lb (1,360 kg) for efficient relocation and rotation of fully loaded solar panel stacks.
  • Hydraulic PTO Operation Pallet Curler runs directly on the host machine’s hydraulic power take-off, ensuring smooth, responsive, and fully integrated operation during field use.
  • Safety Bumper Protection System Integrated protective bumper safeguards solar panels during movement and rotation, reducing risk of impact damage and improving job-site safety standards.
  • Reduced Worker Fatigue Design Engineered to minimize manual lifting, twisting, and carrying, significantly reducing operator fatigue and injury risk while increasing installation speed and efficiency.

Customer photo review of Ranew Outdoors Firminator G3 Planter 4ft, 5ft, 6ft & 8ft | 3 in 1 Food Plot Implement | 3pt Planter | Discs, Seeder & Cultipacker | For Tractor

The week before leaving for my mule deer hunt in Wyoming, I seeded the area surrounding the new runway at Wertheimer Airport in Norman. This past Tuesday, I returned to finish the job and was pleased to see that the seed I planted just two weeks earlier was already germinating and coming up nicely. These pictures show the freshly seeded areas alongside those planted two weeks ago. It’s a great comparison and a good example of what proper seedbed preparation and planting can accomplish. I used my Ferminator G-3, which is one impressive piece of equipment. It prepares the seedbed, plants the seed, smooths the soil, and firms everything up for good seed-to-soil contact—all in one efficient operation. I’ve owned and operated several no-till drills over the years, but I can say without hesitation that the Ferminator is the most efficient and versatile seeding machine I’ve ever owned. There’s something pretty satisfying about returning to a job and seeing those first green shoots coming through the ground. That’s when you know your hard work is paying off!

Customer photo review of Forax Gas Powered Mulcher | Model GP40 | 40" Cutting Width | 14-15 HP | For Tractors

Seems to be in order delivery wasn't able to use lift gate but tractor was able to take pallet off the truck bed. No damage to machine after visual check. won't know how it runs until rain stops. Staff at RippingitOutdoors was very quick to call and double check the type of backet needed for the unit to ensure the online order matched( to fit my skid steer quick attachment on my l2501 Kubota). Explained the teeth & belt could be ordered through them directly over the phone when/if needed as well as selling other types of custom made brackets for Utv's ect. All around Great customer service and would purchase from again.

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.

Ranew Outdoor Firminator Rototiller | RT Series | Working Width 4', 6' & 8' | Tiller, Seeder & Cultipacker | Horsepower 24–55 HP | For Tractors

It’s built solid. It handles Field grass hip high pretty well. With the maintaining the field grass after the first cut, the pasture field is starting to look like a lawn. The 84 inch with the best thing to get for 8 acres. It’s best to order belts for back up in the event if the belts were to break. But overall, I like the product quality is good.

Farm-Maxx Grooming Mower | FMR Series | Working Width 48", 60", 72" & 84" | 15-50 HP | For Tractors

When I think of ripping it outdoors something else comes to mind, but I digress. This spreader is awesome. Works like a champ. The hopper is big enough to do my 1 acre lot for my applications. Just load once and go. I would highly recommend this spreader. It saves a ton of time and is a quality product.
