Handling large furniture panels can be a difficult and time intensive task. Commonly available vacuum lifting systems are typically stationary with rotation that stops at 90°. This portable Alum-a-Lift can serve multiple locations and be equipped with either an onboard vacuum generator for metals and glass, or a high-flow venturi pump, which uses your shop’s compressed air supply to generate vacuum suitable for wood or other porous materials. The 180° forward rotation is useful or subassembly or inspection efforts occurring on the panel’s underside surface.
