Making the Right Choice

When deciding which vacuum lifting machine is right for your job, consider the following factors:

• Panel Type and Size: Larger wall panels and all roof panels may require the CladBoy, while smaller wall panels or glass elements might be better suited to the CoolBoy.

• Project Environment: For confined spaces or delicate materials, the CoolBoy is specifically designed to excel.

• Manual Handling Capacity: If your project lacks sufficient labour and manpower, especially for roof panels, the Rotaboy’s rotation capability will be invaluable.
