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!

Extend over pallets
The arm fully extends under a racking beam and over pallets on the floor. This means that if you need to reach to get parcels, boxes and goods, you don’t have to exert yourself at all. It’s easy to use and simple to operate, especially when picking orders in any working environment.
