EPJ mounted Vaculex handling system

EPJ Mounted Vaculex Vacuum Order Picker

Using vacuum lifter to pick from pallet racking? We’ve got you covered! Introducing the groundbreaking Electric Pallet Jack (EPJ) Mounted Vaculex Vacuum Order Picker.

Here at Materials Handling, we have developed a unique and ergonomic handling device to eliminate manual handling in Warehouse and Distribution Centres. There are many organisations seeking to improve their workplace processes and improve their manual handling and lifting efforts. Our EPJ Mounted Vaculex allows you to safely and easily pick products from pallets on the floor level of pallet racking.

We have also developed a version to unload goods from shipping containers without effort.

This device is not just a mobile handling device. It is designed to extend under the racking beam and over the pallets on the floor. A truly innovative device developed with futuristic technology and the highest efficiency in mind.

Additional Information

How does it all work?

We have designed a single-handed, effortless, battery operated vacuum lifter attached to an EPJ (electric pallet jack). It utilises the technology of Vaculex Vacuum Tube Lifters specifically developed for express parcel baggage handling.

Vaculex are accepted as the number one solution for logistics and distribution centres and airport baggage handling solutions worldwide. Their systems are completely modular, allowing for much needed versatility in an organisation to mould a unit to specific requirements.

This EPJ Mounted Vaculex utilises a unique patented Vaculex TPH solution. The key is the horizontally retracting lift tube to reduce the headroom. The Vaculex TPH allows a complete lift stroke of 1600mm and when mounted to the futuristic carbon fibre articulated arm the handling solution is first class- like a balloon on a string! There is no effort involved and little resistance when in operation.

It is so easy to use and can help you pick products from floor level!
