Product Description
Vacuworx Vacuum Lifter | Model RC Series | Width 21" | 10 To 25 Ton | For Excavators & Host Carriers
DESCRIPTION
The Vacuworx RC Series Vacuum Lifting Systems (RC 10, RC 12, RC 16, RC 20, RC 25 & H models) are engineered to deliver superior lifting performance for heavy-duty pipeline, precast concrete, and industrial material handling applications. Designed for 10 to 25 ton lifting capacities, these systems provide efficient, safe, and damage-free handling of pipes and flat materials.
Equipped with advanced vacuum lifting technology, the RC Series eliminates the need for slings, chains, or spacers, reducing labor costs and improving workflow efficiency. Operators benefit from 360° continuous rotation, allowing precise placement even in confined or complex job sites.
Available in both diesel-powered units and hydraulic “H” models, the RC Series offers flexibility to meet operational needs while reducing emissions, noise, and fuel consumption. Built for large excavators and heavy host carriers, these lifters ensure fast setup, reliable performance, and maximum productivity across demanding industries like oil & gas, ports, and infrastructure development.
Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Lifting Capacity Range supports 10 to 25 tons, making these vacuum lifters ideal for demanding pipeline, construction, and industrial material handling applications requiring consistent high-performance lifting power.
- Multiple Model Configurations Available including RC 10, 12, 16, 20, and 25 with hydraulic “H” variants, ensuring the right solution for varying load requirements and operational preferences.
- 360° Rotation for Precision Placement allows operators to position materials accurately, improving efficiency and reducing the risk of misalignment during installation or transport.
- Advanced Vacuum Lifting Technology eliminates the need for chains, hooks, or slings, reducing setup time while protecting sensitive materials and coatings from damage.
- Diesel and Hydraulic Power Options provide flexibility for different environments, with “H” models offering quieter, emission-free operation using the host machine’s hydraulic system.
- Fast Setup and Deployment Capability enables operators to connect and begin operations within minutes, minimizing downtime and maximizing job site productivity.
- Wireless Remote Control Operation enhances safety and efficiency by allowing operators to control lifting functions from a safe distance without manual intervention.
- Wide Pipe Handling Compatibility supports pipe diameters starting from 4 inches to unlimited sizes, making it highly adaptable for various pipeline projects.
- No Cribbing or Spacers Required reduces additional equipment costs and simplifies material handling processes on-site.
- Durable Industrial Construction Design ensures long-lasting performance in harsh working conditions such as oil fields, ports, and heavy infrastructure sites.
- Quick-Coupler Attachment System allows seamless integration with different host machines, increasing versatility and reducing equipment changeover time.
- Optimized Weight Distribution Design improves stability and efficiency during lifting operations, ensuring safe handling of heavy loads.
