I am going to build a vacuum plate lifter.

I have lifting magnets but under ¼ plate they can be so so.
If I cut aluminum, the magnets will do nothing. Lifting 1/8 and under the magnets really do not work. Under 1/8” you can man handle. It will be based off a YouTube video I saw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajAQiApgRPg I have almost everything on order to build it. I will have a remote control so you can run it from the forklift. Similar to what he did. I just looked at a couple commercial units and they had some good ideas I will use. I will put in switches at the pumps incase I want to lift a 1/2 sheet. They made the arms adjustable for smaller sheets. This may make since for us. https://ecorenovator.org/forum/attac...1&d=1619724876 I only lift 4'x 8' sheets Mine will have 6 8" suction cups. They can lift 180 pounds each. |
Sounds like a fun project.

I have wanted to make one, but I need a forklift to use it. I think my forklift is about 2- 2½ weeks away from being delivered.
