OverviewBasic baggage gripper with hook is an all-purpose lifting device designed for fast, smooth baggage handling at airports. The device replaces manual lifting to reduce repetitive strain injuries and awkward working positions when moving luggage between carts and conveyor belts.
Controlled liftsAs soon as the Basic gripper touches down on a surface it locks in place and is ready to lift. The user controls lift/lower speed via up and down buttons with proportional speed (the more the button is pressed, the faster the motion). The unit also offers endless rotation of the load for precise positioning.
Intuitive and easy to learnThe ergonomic handle fits hands of all sizes and can be used left- or right-handed without adjustments. The controls are intuitive, enabling fast training and increased productivity compared with manual lifting.
Safer liftingThe Basic gripper will not start a lift unless preset vacuum level is reached. If vacuum drops during a lift, the device slowly lowers to the floor. Two options are available for releasing the load:
- Release in the air – a firm press of the red button releases the load immediately.
- Unload first – the load must rest on a surface before the red button permits release.
Reliable lifting technologyBuilt on proven lifting aid technology developed by Lifts All since 1994, the Basic vacuum gripper combines reliable components with simple operation and safe vacuum-based lifting.
