When a leading European company in the wood panel processing and handling industry chooses a material-handling solution, the priority is clear: to make internal material handling safer, simpler, and more efficient.

To meet this need, the company turned to Mivac, selecting Liftagon—a vacuum lifter for wood panels—to handle wood sheets and panels within its warehouses and production departments.

In woodworking companies, the day-to-day handling of panels can be complex. Sheets of MDF, plywood, multilayer, laminates, or surface-finished panels must be picked up, lifted, moved, and positioned multiple times during the work cycle. As panel sizes increase and the material becomes bulkier, manual handling may require more workers, slow down the process, and increase physical strain.

It is precisely for this type of application that Liftagon by Mivac offers a practical solution.

The system allows slabs to be handled using a vacuum gripper, assisting the operator during the gripping, lifting, and positioning of the panel. This enables the load to be handled with greater control, reducing fatigue and improving safety during daily operations.

Thanks to its compact design and the ability to configure the grip according to the material, the Liftagon vacuum lifter for wood panels facilitates the handling of sheets with varying dimensions, weights, and surface characteristics.

At the European company, Liftagon is used to streamline the handling of wood panels in warehouses, making it easier to move the panels between different operational areas and helping operators work more efficiently.

One of the main reasons for this choice is the versatility of the Mivac system. The Liftagon base remains the same, while the plates and suction cups can be interchanged or customized based on the characteristics of the material to be handled: panel dimensions, weight, surface, and specific application.

This allows the system to be tailored to actual production needs, offering a practical and customizable solution for companies that handle different materials and varying sizes.

The fact that a major European player has chosen Mivac confirms Liftagon’s value in the woodworking sector as well: a compact, easy-to-use solution designed to improve the internal handling of panels.

Liftagon by Mivac is not just a vacuum lifter; it is a vacuum lifter with interchangeable batteries for wood panels, designed to make work safer, more ergonomic, and more efficient.
