What does a vacuum lifter do?
A vacuum lifter is a specialized device designed to lift and transport heavy objects using suction power. It features a suction pad or multiple suction cups that create a vacuum seal against the object's surface. Once activated, this vacuum generates a strong, secure grip, allowing the lifter to safely attach, lift, and move the object with ease and precision.
