The OKTOPUS® KABN was developed for absolutely safe handling & installation of horizontal and vertical cladding and roofing panels.
With the application on industrial building sites (e.g. cool rooms, factory buildings, large warehouses etc.) the following distinct advantages are provided:
• Increased-working safety
• Lower costs for installation of roof and wall elements through shorter installation times and rationalization of work methods
• Smaller installation teams
• Relieving workers from heavy lifting tasks
• Saving of additional devices
• Protection of building panels at installation
• Suction pads changeable for all current profiles (including trapezoidal sheeting)
• Safety and security is ensured via a key lockable switch
Technical data:
• Power supply: 24v on board rechargeable battery system. Charger not integrated
• Lifting capacity: max. 400kg
• Operation: local operation
• Nett weight: Without lateral extensions (4,200mm long): approx. 230kg With lateral extensions (7,460mm long): approx. 330kg
• Dual safety system - 2 independent vacuum circuits
• Each vacuum circuit has a 2-fold safety and an integrated vacuum reservoir
• Two integrated vacuum meters (1 per circuit) and one charge meter
• Visual and acoustic warning facilities signal any deviation of the set condition
It conforms to AS4992 - 2004 section 5 & fulfils the European DIN EN 13155 standard. The basic 4,000mm frame is used for both horizontal and vertically installed panels. The modular system is available for roof panels from 4 to 17metre panels, depending on the thickness and stiffness of the panels.
