What our Experts Think
Q&A
Q1: What is the AVBL380 used for?
A: It is designed to lift and move heavy stone blocks, concrete blocks, and slabs safely using a vacuum suction system for cranes and lifting equipment.
Q2: What is the load capacity?
A: It can lift up to 380 kg (depending on suction pad size and material surface).
Q3: How does it operate?
A: It uses a battery-powered vacuum pump system that creates suction and automatically maintains pressure during lifting.
Q4: What materials can it handle?
A: Suitable for concrete blocks, granite, marble, and other stone slabs, including smooth and slightly rough surfaces.
Q5: What power system does it use?
A: It runs on a rechargeable 12Vโ24Ah battery with an integrated vacuum pump system.
Q6: What safety features are included?
A: It includes audio/visual alarms, vacuum pressure monitoring, and automatic pump control for safe operation.
Q7: Can it be used with cranes?
A: Yes, it is designed to connect easily to cranes, hoists, and lifting hooks for industrial use.
Q8: How long does the battery last?
A: Typical operating time is up to around 5 hours of continuous use, depending on load and conditions.
Maintenance Tips
-
Clean vacuum pads regularly: Remove dust, sand, and stone residue to ensure a strong, airtight seal.
-
Inspect rubber seals: Check suction pads and gaskets for cracks, wear, or deformation; replace if suction weakens.
-
Check vacuum filter: Clean or replace filters frequently to maintain consistent airflow and suction power.
-
Inspect vacuum hose & fittings: Ensure there are no leaks, cracks, or loose connections affecting pressure.
-
Test vacuum gauge: Verify pressure levels before each use to ensure safe lifting capacity (380kg rated).
-
Check pump system: Ensure vacuum pump runs smoothly without unusual noise or overheating.
-
Drain moisture if applicable: Prevent internal corrosion by removing trapped moisture from the system.
-
Inspect control valves & switches: Ensure quick response and proper sealing during operation.
-
Store in dry, dust-free area: Protect components from moisture and contamination when not in use.
-
Avoid overloading: Never exceed rated capacity to maintain safety and prevent system failure.
