VLA1600Vertical Lift Adapter

Vertical lift adapter allows you to lift steel from a horizontal to a vertical position, or vertical to horizontal.

OVERVIEW

Designed For Vertical Lifting of Thick, Non-Flexing Steel.

The Vertical Lift Adapter (VLA), combined with an IMI PowerLift® magnet (sold separately), lifts ferrous metal sheets, plates, rounds, and billets from horizontal to vertical orientation or vice versa. The VLA is ideal for loading steel plates into vertical storage racks and for lifting plate steel, rounds, or billets to machining centers or cutting tables.

The Vertical Lift Adapter can be used on various flat steel plates or round shapes and allows the operator to lift loads up to 4 feet wide. The Vertical Lift Adapter also has convenient, built-in forklift brackets to move and handle steel in a horizontal orientation.

The Vertical Lift Adapter is currently available for use with the PNL0800 and PNL1600 (sold separately). For additional models or steel billet lifting applications, please contact our inside sales department at 800.582.0822.

Applications:

  • Load steel plate into vertical storage racks
  • Lift steel plates from vertical storage racks to horizontal machining centers or cutting tables
  • Lift steel plates, rounds, or billets into place for equipment/machinery manufacturing

Benefits

  • One lifter for both horizontal and vertical sheet or part handling
  • Reduce employee injury - Eliminate improper use of slings or chains to lift sheet metal or steel parts vertically
  • Increase production time
  • No electricity required
