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.

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.
