Marble Vacuum Lifters

A marble vacuum lifter uses suction pads and a vacuum pump to grip a marble slab across its face, so one operator can lift, tilt, and place it. Because it grips the face instead of the edges, it moves fragile marble without the chipping risk of edge clamps.

Grip the slab across its face with a vacuum lifter instead of clamping the edges. The suction pads spread the load over a wide area, so there is no point-load to crack the marble, and dual vacuum circuits keep the slab held even if one circuit loses pressure. Tilt and place it slowly from the remote.

Yes. Polished marble seals on standard pads. Honed, tumbled, or textured marble uses foam vacuum pads that conform to the surface and hold a reliable seal. The same machine handles both finishes once it has the right pad set.

For countertop fabrication, an in-shop Mule machine handles marble at the saw and polisher. For shops that deliver and install, a Vector self-propelled machine carries the slab from the truck to the kitchen and places it. Match the rated capacity to your largest 3 cm marble slab.

A 3 cm marble slab weighs on the order of 16 to 18 lb per square foot, and a full slab can exceed 1,000 lb (450 kg). Always match the lifter's rated capacity to your heaviest slab with a safety margin.

Yes, with foam vacuum pads. Dense polished marble seals with standard pads, while porous, honed, or tumbled marble needs foam pads that conform to the surface and maintain the seal. Quattrolifts supplies foam pad sets so one machine handles both.
