• ANVER Vacuum Tube Lifter Controls (our default Standard or optional Hummingbird ) are both designed for smooth operation and load lifting capability through a wide weight range.  Both attach and release equally fast and are about as quiet.

• Both include an extended length handlebar that is easy to grasp and ergonomic operator controls for smooth operation.

• Both Control Heads can mount tube adapter rings that allow the control heads to accommodate various diameter lift tubes if your load lifting requirements should change in the future.

Standard Controls

• This control works by squeezing the spring loaded smaller diameter bar inside the handle slightly. The up and down movement controls the contraction of the main tube. Most people use a combination of there fingers and thumb and once you are use to it you can really move products fast.
• This traditional Design offers fast handling and attach and release with a trained operator.
• Excellent for quick bag and sack pick and place applications.
• This style includes an Adjusting of 'Load' and 'No-Load' valve on the control box itself to allow for precise positioning of specific weight loads.
• Ergonomic lever control handle is spring loaded and you must keep your hand on it during operation.
• Recommended for fairly constant weights and dirty or dusty environments. Very easy to clean and service. Front cover screws off to expose mechanism when cleaning is necessary. It is a rugged construction.
• More of this style of control is in use worldwide than any other because it was the first  and only style available for many years. It is proven and reliable.

• Turning the rotary red handle controls the up and down movement by shutting off air and contracting the main tube. The black handle is non moving to hold the lifter while red turns. The red handle has a solid steady feel to it.
• Excellent for applications where a wide variety of weights need to be handled randomly are lifted. Also excellent on delicate or expensive loads.
• Most people feel this control is somewhat slower which may be true though that is debatable. On the other hand it offers more precise placement. You can be very slow and deliberate positioning up and down if you want with this style. This style can replace expensive manipulators in many applications.
• Handles a variable of load weights with no adjustment.
• When the control handle is released, the load will stay in its position until the control handle is twisted for up or down. The rotary handles stays put where you leave it.
• The rotary twist control handle has about a quarter plus turn and is intuitive and easily learned. The internal mechanism includes an end of stroke spring tensioned release for a full positive release and added safety.

• Applications such as handling bags and sacks, similar weight items, dirty and dusty environments, abusive operators, or production lines needing fast operation.

• Applications with many different weight loads, non-porous loads and attachments, clean high tech loads and environments, or delicate loads needing precise slow handling.

• This style is FDA Compliant. It is completely Stainless Steel or uses FDA approved materials for washdown environments.

• The style is Not FDA Compliant. The control handle box is Anodized Aluminum thus not suitable for FDA washdown environments.
