ANVER
VT Vacuum Tube Lifters can now be equipped with a pneumatic release & lift
assist valve: Model
VT-RLV-M for the Mini series VT vacuum tube lifters and model VT-RLV-S for the
Standard series.
The VT-RLV-M/S valve, when used with a VT Vacuum Tube Lifter equipped with
ANVER’s CA
Compressed Air Assist option, can aid in the release of an attached load and
lifting of the vacuum tube lifter and pad attachment off the load when the lift
tube is in its nearly fully compressed state. This is useful such as when
stacking loads above head with an extended length handle is a requirement.
Principle
of Operation
The operation of
the vacuum tube lifter for attaching and lifting the load is the same as for a
vacuum tube lifter without this option. However, with a standard tube
lifter, it is necessary to tilt up the pad attachment to break the vacuum
seal in order to release the load. With an extended length handle and a nearly
fully compressed lift tube (encountered in high load stack height operations),
this can be difficult to accomplish.
The pneumatic release & lift assist valve option simplifies this step and
eliminates the need to tilt the pads to break the vacuum seal. By twisting and
holding the VT-RLV attach/release knob, the vacuum seal on the pads is broken,
the load is released, the lift tube compresses, and the lifter rises up off the
load. Once the lifter is clear of the load, releasing the selector switch allows
the tube lifter to be lowered to its normal working height.
For proper standard operation see ANVER VT System User's Guide + Safety Instructions Doc. No.: 120 00 002.
