Heavy duty glass lifters
GGR Group’s Hydraulica 4000 Quad-Circuit vacuum lifter has a four tonne lifting capacity, making it suitable to meet the growing demand for larger glass in the construction industry.
The machine was most recently hired to take on the installation of glass sheets weighing in at 3.8 tonnes each at an eco-friendly mansion on one of the UK’s oldest country estates. GGR’s Hydraulica 4000 was called upon to install the glass that makes up the impressive front elevation of this unusual build.
Since GGR Group became the first plant hire company in the UK to offer the Hydraulica 4000 and Hydraulica 6000 to its customers the construction industry has been able to feed its appetite for mammoth glass installations. Both the Hydraulica 4000 and Hydraulica 6000 are able to rotate and tilt with loads up to four and six tonnes respectively meaning that oversized sheets of glass can be lifted, manipulated and installed with millimetre precision.
Loads can be power rotated through 360° or power tilted up to 90°. The machines use four independent vacuum circuits with four on-board maintenance free vacuum pumps. Each of the four circuits has a non-return valve, vacuum sensor, vacuum gauge, and alarm system.
