What are Glass Suckers?
Glass Suckers are known in many many different forms – terms like vacuum cups, suction cups, glass lifting suction cups, portable electric vacuum cups, suction lifters, window suction cups, glass suction cups, glass vacuum lifters, glazing robots and many more. Each of these differs in scale and functionality but they all help lift and handle glass.
Where are glass suckers manufactured?
Veribor glass suckers are manufactured in Germany. They are manufactured and quality tested at the Bohle facility in Haan. Many of the individual components are supplied by long term, local suppliers. This has helped them gain an enviable reputation for reliability.
Why use Glass Suckers?
Using Glass suckers reduces the risk of injury by helping to pick up glass, lift glass up or manoeuvre glass across site. Direct manual handling of glass panels can result in injuries such as cuts, abrasion wounds and impact wounds from broken glass.
What is the lifting capacity of a glass sucker?
Our Veribor glass suckers have a lifting capacity from 25kg up to 120kg. The lifting capacity depends on a number of factors including the number of sucker cups attached to the glass pane.
Do Glass suckers have harmful ingredients?
No, we only stock glass suckers that are free from carcinogenic hydrocarbon compounds (PAH). Aluminium glass suckers do not contain any lead alloys.
