X-grip
Battery powered vacuum lifter
MIVAC X-grip: high-capacity vacuum lifting device with an interchangeable battery for handling loads of up to 1200 kg
X-grip: Industrial vacuum lifting device for the safe handling of glass, sheet metal, marble, panels, and flat surfaces
MIVAC’s X-grip is a battery-powered, under-hook vacuum lifter designed to safely lift, move, and position large panels, slabs, and flat loads. Thanks to its high lifting capacity and the ability to customize the suction cup configuration, it offers a versatile solution for industrial applications that require precision, reliability, and load control.
The system can be used to handle glass, sheet metal, marble, granite, ceramics, wood panels, plastics, doors, prefabricated elements, and industrial components with surfaces compatible with vacuum gripping.
The battery-powered design allows you to work without external power connections or cables in the work area, ensuring greater freedom of movement. X-grip can be attached under the hook of cranes, mini-cranes, overhead cranes, hoists, jib cranes, spreaders, and other suitable lifting systems, transforming them into efficient equipment for empty load handling.
A modular vacuum lifting device for large loads
One of the main advantages of MIVAC X-grip is the ability to adapt the lifter’s configuration to the dimensions, weight, and geometry of the material being handled.
The system can be equipped with extensions and additional suction cups, increasing the gripping surface area and distributing the load more evenly. This feature is particularly useful for handling long panels, large-format sheets, and components that require multiple suction points.
The standard 400-kg configuration is suitable for many everyday industrial operations, while the version with eight oversized suction cups allows for a maximum lifting capacity of up to 1,200 kg, offering an effective solution even for more demanding applications. The system’s modular design also allows for the development of customized configurations based on the size of the load, the arrangement of the gripping points, and the customer’s specific operational requirements.
Battery power for complete operational freedom
X-grip is powered by interchangeable batteries, a solution that allows the lift to be used without a constant connection to the electrical grid or a fixed pneumatic system.
The absence of cables and hoses in the work area provides greater freedom of movement and makes it easier to use the device in production facilities, warehouses, workshops, construction sites, and installation areas. The system can be easily moved from one location to another and can also be used in areas where there is no electrical outlet nearby.
Interchangeable batteries also allow you to quickly replace a discharged battery pack with a charged one, minimizing downtime and ensuring greater continuity throughout the workday.
This feature makes X-grip particularly well-suited for:
- multi-shift operations;
- assignment to various areas of the plant;
- on-site installations;
- construction sites and temporary facilities;
- production departments with flexible workstations;
- activities that require frequent movement of equipment.
Horizontal and Vertical Handling of Panels and Slabs
MIVAC X-grip is designed to facilitate the handling of flat materials in both horizontal and vertical positions, depending on the selected configuration and the type of application. This capability simplifies operations in which the material must be picked up from a surface, lifted, oriented, and then placed on a machine, structure, support, or installation surface.
The vacuum system allows the operator to maintain greater control over the load during all handling phases, reducing the need for direct manual intervention and helping to minimize the risk of impacts, scratches, or damage.
The X-grip vacuum suction lifting device is particularly suitable for:
- loading and unloading of panels;
- power supply for machines and production lines;
- handling of slabs from the warehouse;
- positioning during assembly;
- installation and laying of large-format materials;
- Horizontal and vertical handling of delicate surfaces
The Best Suction Cups for Every Surface
The MIVAC X-grip can be equipped with different types of suction cups, selected based on the material, surface finish, and operating conditions.
Choosing the right suction cups is essential for achieving a stable and effective grip. For this reason, the configuration is determined by considering the load’s weight, dimensions, porosity, surface roughness, the presence of moisture, and the type of handling required.
X-grip can be configured to work on: glass, sheet metal, Plexiglas, plastic panels, composite panels, ceramic slabs, marble and processed stone, wood panels with a compatible surface, industrial casings, large technical components, and smooth, slightly uneven, or delicate surfaces.
For porous, rough, or highly porous materials, you can consider suction cups with specialized seals, auxiliary pumps, or custom configurations to adapt X-grip to non-standard applications.
Ideal for glass, sheet metal, panels, and industrial components
X-grip was developed for handling heavy, bulky, or delicate flat materials used in numerous manufacturing sectors.
The lift can be used to handle:
- large panels and slabs;
- glass and windows;
- sheet metal and metal components;
- composite and sandwich panels;
- covers and housings for machinery;
- slabs of marble, stone, or ceramic;
- plexiglass and plastic panels;
- furnishing items;
- components intended for assembly;
- flat surfaces used in laying and installation work.
Distributing the grip across multiple suction cups helps keep the material stable and allows for greater control when handling large-format surfaces. This makes X-grip a particularly useful solution when the load cannot be handled safely with a single suction cup or when the suction force needs to be distributed over a larger area.
Integration with cranes, overhead cranes, and lifting systems
The X-grip is an under-hook vacuum lifting device designed to be used with the lifting equipment already available in the company.
It can be connected to jib cranes, overhead cranes, hoists, counterbalanced cranes, mini cranes, mobile cranes, balance beams, and lifting systems installed on production lines.
A solution for manufacturing, installation, and maintenance
Thanks to its ability to handle large flat loads, X-grip can be used in numerous industrial and professional sectors. Among its main areas of application are: the glass industry, window and door manufacturing, metal fabrication and sheet metal working, composite panel manufacturing, marble and stone processing, the ceramics industry, furniture and woodworking, machinery manufacturing, the assembly of housings and components, construction sites and on-site installation, industrial maintenance, and the internal handling of large-format materials.
X-grip can be used in both repetitive tasks and non-standard activities that require flexibility, precision, and quick response times.
