Product Description
Vacuworx Vacuum Lifter | Model MC 3 & MC 5/ MC 5H | Width 18.5" To 20" | 3 To 5 Ton | 15 To 30 GPM | For Excavators & Loaders
DESCRIPTION
The Vacuworx MC Series Vacuum Lifting System is engineered for efficient, safe, and precise material handling in pipeline, utility, and in-plant applications. With lifting capacities ranging from 6,600 to 11,000 lb, this compact yet powerful system is ideal for handling pipe, concrete, and flat materials. Advanced vacuum lifting technology eliminates the need for chains or slings, reducing labor costs and improving safety on the job site.
The MC Series offers multiple power configurations, including gas (MC 3), diesel (MC 5), and hydraulic (MC 5H) options. The hydraulic MC 5H requires 15–30 GPM flow, making it compatible with a wide range of excavators and loaders. Featuring 360° hydraulic rotation and wireless remote control, operators gain superior precision and control during lifting operations.
Designed to protect delicate surfaces, the MC Series ensures damage-free handling, making it a reliable, high-performance solution for modern construction and industrial environments.
Key Features
- Advanced Vacuum Lifting Technology Efficiency ensures secure, chain-free lifting of pipe and concrete materials, improving job site safety, minimizing manual handling, and significantly increasing operational productivity in demanding construction and utility applications.
- Wireless Remote Control Operation Safety allows operators to manage lifting functions from a safe distance, enhancing visibility, reducing risk of injury, and improving precision during complex or confined job site operations.
- 360° Hydraulic Rotation Precision Control enables smooth and accurate positioning of materials, reducing repositioning time and ensuring efficient placement in pipeline installation and structural applications.
- Hydraulic Flow Requirement 15–30 GPM Compatibility ensures the MC 5H model integrates seamlessly with excavators and loaders equipped with auxiliary hydraulics, delivering consistent vacuum performance and reliable lifting power.
- Multi-Power Configuration Flexibility Options includes gas-powered MC 3, diesel-powered MC 5, and hydraulic MC 5H, allowing users to select the ideal configuration based on equipment availability and job requirements.
- High Capacity Lifting Performance Range supports lifting capacities from 6,600 to 11,000 lb, making it suitable for mid-range material handling tasks across pipeline, concrete, and industrial sectors.
- Compact Lightweight Design Maneuverability improves usability in tight workspaces and urban job sites, allowing efficient operation with compact loaders and excavators without sacrificing lifting strength.
- Surface Protection Non-Damaging Handling ensures delicate materials and coated surfaces remain intact during lifting, eliminating costly repairs or material waste.
- Wide Pipe Diameter Compatibility Range accommodates pipe sizes from 4” to 18” outer diameter, providing flexibility for various pipeline and infrastructure applications.
- Eliminates Need for Cribbing Materials reduces setup time and equipment costs by removing the need for spacers, blocks, or additional support materials during lifting operations.
- Quick Coupler Attachment Versatility System allows fast and secure attachment to multiple host machines, minimizing downtime and increasing job site efficiency.
- Durable Heavy-Duty Industrial Construction Build ensures long-term reliability and performance under demanding environmental and operational conditions.
- Global Safety Standards Compliance Certified meets ANSI/ASME, CE, and OSHA requirements, ensuring safe and compliant operation across international markets.
- Optimized for Pipeline and Utility Projects delivers consistent performance in trenching, pipe laying, and infrastructure upgrades, improving workflow efficiency and productivity.
- Reduced Labor Costs and Increased ROI Efficiency minimizes manpower requirements while accelerating lifting cycles, providing cost-effective operation for contractors and operators.
