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 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.

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 ‘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.
