Vacuworx has introduced a compact vacuum lifting system for
handling concrete slabs, steel
trench plates, pipe and other jobsite lifting needs.
The new CM 3 system is designed to fit on skid-steer loaders,
track and articulated wheel loaders, said Randy Hayes, Vacuworx
corporate sales director. "To the
best of our knowledge, the CM 3 is
the only vacuum lifting system like
it on the market."
It is available now directly
from Vacuworx or its authorized
dealers.
According to Hayes, vacuum
lifting is safer and more efficient
than conventional methods such
as anchors, books, slings and
chains. Because of its compact size,
the CM 3 can be used on compact
host machines that can work in areas where larger equipment cannot
operate.
The CM 3 operates with a hydraulically driven vacuum pump
using the auxiliary hydraulics of
the host machine. A minimum 10
gallons per minute (gpm) is required, with a maximum 3,000 psi.
Maximum lifting capacity is 6,600

knowledge, the CM 3 is
the only vacuum lifting
system like it on the
market."
pounds. A preset flow control valve
is designed to ensure optimal performance of the host vehicle.
Quick turnaround
The CM 3 can be attached in minutes to the host machine with a
universal mounting plate assembly
and quick-connect hydraulic hoses.
The rugged, all-steel unit accommodates interchangeable single
or double pad configurations for
lifting a variety of size and weight
materials. The adjustable spreader
bar for double pads extends from
61 to 85 inches measured from
outside of the seal channels. Flat
and pipe pads are sold separately
to meet specific needs.
The CM 3 comes with steel legs
for storage, which can either be
removed or rotated up when the
system is in use. The CM 3 weighs
499 pounds, is 71 inches long, 40
inches wide, and 31½ inches high.
"Initial response to the CM 3
has been outstanding," Hayes said.
"At trade shows last spring, contractors said the primary benefits
to them are that the unit can be installed in a few minutes by simply
connecting to the auxiliary hydraulics, that it can maneuver in places
that previously have not been
accessible with larger pieces of
equipment, and that it can reduce
manpower needed on jobs."
Based in Tulsa, OK, Vacuworx
engineers and manufactures innovative, heavy-duty vacuum and
hydraulic material handling equipment for the oil and gas, water
and sewer, highway and heavy construction, concrete construction,
landscaping and manufacturing
industries. Models can be customized for many applications. Vacuworx products are sold worldwide.
