Roof and wall orientation
The published horizontal load is 1,000 kg and the vertical load is 500 kg at the stated vacuum condition. Match the extension arrangement and pads to the actual panel profile. Panel length and outdoor limits are not derived from the frame size.
Selection point | This configuration |
|---|---|
Horizontal handling load | 1000 kg |
Vertical handling load | 500 kg |
Load conditions | 60% vacuum level |
Pad dimensions | 120 × 520 mm |
Main frame | 1200 × 500 × 1055 mm |
Equipment and intended application
This cladding lifter uses a vacuum frame and extension beams to support roof or wall panels. Horizontal and vertical handling have different stated ratings. The frame orientation, pad position and panel profile must be considered together.
Application and integration requirements
Topic | Details |
|---|---|
Panel profile | Place each pad on a contact strip wide and flat enough for its complete seal. Rib spacing, seams and protective films affect whether the stated pad geometry fits. |
Panel stiffness | Check the longest panel, its core and skins, unsupported overhang and approved lifting points. Do not infer a maximum panel length solely from load capacity. |
Roof versus wall use | Use the rating for the actual orientation. A higher horizontal rating is not the vertical rating, and a panel must remain supported during release. |
Installation, inspection and service checks
Topic | Details |
|---|---|
Setup | Select the horizontal or vertical beam arrangement, lock the frame and route hoses clear of panel edges. |
Vacuum controls | Check the vacuum gauge and fitted warning system. Operate the grip and release controls according to the equipment instructions; release the panel only after it is securely supported. |
Maintenance | Inspect seals, extension-beam locks, hoses and the safety-strap attachment before use. |
Troubleshooting priorities
Topic | Details |
|---|---|
Unexpected grip, motion or control behaviour | Stop with the workpiece supported. Inspect the affected connection, contact area and power or air supply, then follow the installed equipment instructions before returning to service. |
Replacement does not fit or changes performance | Check the component identity and system configuration. Do not modify interfaces or bypass protective functions to make a substitute fit. |
Frequently asked questions
What load should I use when selecting ET-CL-ROOF-1000?
Use 1,000 kg for horizontal handling or 500 kg for vertical handling at the stated 60% vacuum condition. Match the frame and pad arrangement to the panel profile and installation orientation.
What determines compatibility?
Place each pad on a contact strip wide and flat enough for its complete seal. Rib spacing, seams and protective films affect whether the stated pad geometry fits.
What needs checking beyond the listed size or load?
Check the longest panel, its core and skins, unsupported overhang and approved lifting points. Do not infer a maximum panel length solely from load capacity.
What defines the supplied configuration?
The specified model, listed technical arrangement and accepted options define the product. Project drawings, utilities, accessories and installation interfaces must describe the same configuration.
Information for application assessment
- Identify the workpiece material, dimensions, mass, contact surface and centre of gravity. Include the least favourable item in a mixed production range.
- Describe pickup and placement positions, required orientation changes, handling frequency and the site layout.
- Identify the available power or air supply and any host machine, crane, support structure or interface that must be retained.
- State the destination market and required documentation, accessories and packing constraints so the proposed configuration can be assessed as a complete system.
