Cartons and Boxes
Suitable for repetitive case and carton handling where the carton surface provides reliable vacuum contact.
Industrial Vacuum Lifter for Fast and Ergonomic Material Handling
Lift Cartons, Bags, Panels and Other Loads with Vacuum Power
TONGLI industrial vacuum lifters use vacuum suction to grip and lift suitable workpieces, reducing manual handling effort and improving the ergonomics of repetitive lifting operations.
Our vacuum lifting systems can be configured with different suction heads, lifting capacities and mounting structures according to the material, weight and production environment.
How Does an Industrial Vacuum Lifter Work?
A typical vacuum lifting system uses vacuum pressure to generate the gripping force required to lift and move suitable workpieces.

Load
When the suction head contacts the workpiece, the vacuum system creates a pressure difference that generates the gripping force.
The operator can then guide the suspended load to the required position.
Important:
Vacuum performance depends heavily on the actual surface
condition of the load. Porous bags, dusty surfaces,
irregular shapes and moisture can affect vacuum performance.
The suction head should therefore be selected using actual
workpiece samples.
Vacuum Lifter Configuration
Each component can be selected or customized according to the workpiece and application requirements.
| Component | Function | Customization |
|---|---|---|
| Vacuum Generator | Creates vacuum | Yes |
| Vacuum Tube | Lifting element | According to load |
| Suction Head | Contacts workpiece | Yes |
| Control Handle | Operator control | Yes |
| Filter | Protects vacuum system | According to environment |
| Safety System | Monitors vacuum condition | Application dependent |
| Mounting Structure | Supports equipment | Floor / Column / Overhead |
Suitable Materials and Workpieces
Vacuum lifting systems can be configured for different workpiece types when the material surface and weight are compatible with the selected vacuum equipment.
Bags
Vacuum tube lifters can be used for suitable bags when the packaging surface and vacuum characteristics are compatible.
Applications can include suitable 25–50 kg rice bags and similar products.
Panels and Sheets
Suitable suction tooling can be designed for selected sheet materials and flat surfaces.
Other Workpieces
Drums, containers and other loads may also be handled when the surface and weight meet the vacuum system requirements.
Vacuum Supply Requirements
Before designing a vacuum lifting system, the following workpiece and operating information should be provided.
| Requirement | Customer Information |
|---|---|
| Load Weight | 20-300 kg |
| Load Size | Customized according to workpiece dimensions |
| Surface | Smooth / Rough / Porous |
| Material | Carton / Bag / Sheet / Other |
| Air Supply | 0.5–0.6 MPa clean and dry compressed air |
| Air Quality | Filtered / Dry Compressed Air |
| Lifting Height | 1–3 m |
| Cycle Frequency | 10–20 cycles/min |
Important:
Final vacuum requirements should be determined from the actual
workpiece and selected vacuum equipment rather than copied from
a generic specification.
Vacuum Lifter Safety
A professional vacuum lifting solution should consider the complete handling process, including vacuum monitoring, gripping reliability, equipment maintenance and operator procedures.
- Vacuum monitoring
- Suitable suction cup configuration
- Vacuum loss response
- Filter maintenance
- Hose inspection
- Load stability
- Operator training
- Emergency procedures
Industrial Vacuum Lifting Equipment for Material Handling
An industrial vacuum lifter is a material handling solution designed to lift and move suitable workpieces using vacuum suction. By transferring the lifting force from the operator to the vacuum system, vacuum lifting equipment can reduce manual handling effort and improve ergonomics in repetitive production and logistics operations.
Industrial vacuum lifters can be configured for cartons, boxes, bags, panels, sheets, drums, containers and other workpieces. The appropriate suction head, vacuum generator, lifting tube and mounting structure should be selected based on the actual load weight, dimensions, surface characteristics and operating environment.
Vacuum Lifter for Cartons and Boxes
Carton handling is one of the common applications for vacuum lifting equipment. In packaging, warehousing and production environments, operators may repeatedly lift and reposition boxes. A suitable vacuum suction head can provide fast and ergonomic handling while reducing repetitive manual lifting.
Vacuum Lifter for Bags
Vacuum tube lifters can also handle suitable bags and sacks when the packaging material provides sufficient vacuum contact. Porous or irregular packaging may require specially designed suction tooling and testing with actual samples.
Customized Vacuum Lifting Solutions
Not every workpiece can be handled with the same vacuum configuration. TONGLI can configure vacuum lifting systems according to load weight, dimensions, surface condition, lifting height, cycle frequency and production layout. Customized suction heads and mounting structures can be incorporated into the overall lifting system.
How to Select an Industrial Vacuum Lifter
When selecting a vacuum lifter, buyers should provide the actual workpiece weight, dimensions, material, surface type, lifting height and handling frequency. Air supply conditions should also be considered for pneumatic vacuum systems. Testing with actual workpieces is recommended when surface conditions are uncertain.
