Suction lifter KWB 179890 — manual glass and panel lifter, capacity up to 30 kg

The KWB 179890 suction lifter is a manual glass and panel lifter designed for handling flat, non-porous materials with a load capacity up to 30 kg. It provides a secure temporary attachment to smooth surfaces using a vacuum suction cup system and a hand-operated pump or lever to generate and maintain vacuum. An ergonomic handle supports single-person positioning and placement tasks, making it suitable for installation, transport and precision alignment of glass, tiles and panels.

Advantages

The device offers a compact, mechanically simple solution for lifting and positioning flat materials without power supply. Its vacuum suction system ensures reliable temporary hold on smooth, non-porous surfaces while the ergonomic handle and balanced design reduce arm and back strain during single-person use. The manual pump/lever enables controlled vacuum generation and release for precise placement, and the lightweight construction supports easy carrying between work locations.

How to use

Place the suction cup onto a clean, dry and smooth area of the workpiece and activate the hand-operated pump or lever until the vacuum is established and the lifter is securely attached. Use the ergonomic handle to lift and position the item carefully; avoid sudden movements and keep the load within the specified capacity. To release, operate the vacuum release mechanism or open the valve to allow air to re-enter the suction cup and detach it from the surface. Inspect the suction cup and sealing surface before each use to ensure safe adhesion.

Recommendations

Use the suction lifter only on flat, non-porous and clean surfaces. Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of 30 kg. Regularly check the condition of the suction cup and seals and replace worn components. Avoid using on rough, porous or dirty materials and in environments with extreme temperatures or oily contaminants that reduce vacuum performance.
