UniMove's unmatched experience allows us to offer the most advanced vacuum lifting systems available. UniMove provides the highest lifting capabilities, superior quality and the versatility to respond with unique solutions to many old ergonomic and two or more worker handling problems.  Improve safety and reduce manpower with UniMove.

Vacuum lift tubes are ideally suited to handling porous payloads such as cardboard cartons, bags and sacks, plywood and particle board sheets and heavy loads such as drums.

UniMove also designs and build special vacuum tools, mechanical and pneumatically powered grippers for unique and special lifting applications.  The majority of UniMove applications are custom engineered to meet exact end-user requirements. Holder of multiple patents in this field, UniMove dedicates 100% of its time to expanding the capabilities of the technology.

 
Some examples of special applications include:

  • Totally Enclosed Power Unit - protects expensive components. Soundproofed for quiet operation.
  • Stainless Steel heavy duty inline filter.
  • Patented Progressive Control Valve - self cleaning and Teflon coated for smooth operation.
  • Safety Yellow Lift Tube - the most appropriate color for a moving system in the workplace.
  • High Strength Lift Tube - custom designed double-wall construction.
  • Automatic Balance Control - balances any load at any chosen height without operator adjustment.
  • Operator Adjustable Control Handle - ergonomically designed adjustable controls.
  • USDA approved for Food Grade handling applications.
  • Patented Internal Pneumatic Power System - allows the use of highly controllable powered attachments with no exposed hoses and no sacrifice of any normal functions.
  • 360 Degree Ball Bearing Mounted Top Swivel - for effortless movement with airtight integrity. This feature is critical to allow continuous movement throughout the work area.
  • Grip Enhancers - for safe control of very light objects.

Ergonomic Features include:

Beyond the obvious ergonomic advantages of transporting loads, UniMove incorporates the most current ergonomic design criteria throughout the vacuum lifter to minimize operator effort in repetitive tasks. These design details include:
  • Vacuum lifter adjusts easily to accommodate all hand sizes.
     
  • Straight hand position to minimize wrist rotation.
     
  • Specially designed hand rest distributes forces evenly across operator's palm.
     
  • Thumb rests to eliminate uncomfortable pinch grip.
     
  • Effortless ball bearing top rotation.
     
  • Naturally angled hand grips.
     
  • Control design naturally positions vacuum lifter load safely away from operator's body.
