What is a "suction lifter"?
A suction lifter is a tool used to lift and move heavy, smooth, or flat objects like glass, metal sheets, or tiles. It uses suction cups that create a vacuum when pressed against the surface of the object, allowing the lifter to securely grip it. The user can then lift or move the object by pulling a handle or activating a pump to maintain the suction. Suction lifters are commonly used in construction, glass installation, or manufacturing, as they make handling heavy or delicate materials safer and easier without causing damage.
Examples
The workers used a suction lifter to safely lift the large glass window into place.
