Palamatic's PL2000 range of ergonomic vacuum handling systems offer the widest range of standard solutions for common lifting tasks such as handling for boxes, bags, drums, sheet materials, palletizing, depalletizing, process line loading and special handling of payloads from 50 to over 200 pounds.

With three standard control heads and a variety of additional special control handle options, our PL2000 lifters can be adapted to a wide range of motion situations that improve worker ergonomics and handling productivity.  Control valves are available in "stay put" configuration for precise control of identical weight payloads or in variable weight versions that handle different weight payloads with equal ease of control.

PL2000 range of features include:

• Low headroom control head for height restricted work areas
• Universal joint mounting for improved payload articulation and reduced lift tube flexion and wear
• Quick change quick release couplings for control heads and tooling
• Angle adaptor for 90° manual pitching rotation
• Lower rotary joint for 360° continuous Z-axis rotation of tooling and controls - available with optional pin lock
• Earth or static bonding
• Lift off valve for easy release of nonporous payloads, available in manual lever or pull knob versions, or pneumatic release versions
• Pneumatically actuated safety valve, load release vent or vent and seal controls
• A wide range of standard round, oval and rectangular vacuum cups
• Two, four and other multiple vacuum cup tool bars with both fixed and adjustable cup centers
• A mechanical hook tool bar for lifting hook-able payloads without the use of vacuum gripping
• Pneumatically actuated gripper tools - See a video demo of our Pal-U-Grip bag lifter

Special custom tooling and vacuum cups can be designed and built for your unique handling application.  Tooling can be designed to include powered or manual functions for pitching, turning or rotating payloads for optimum positioning.  Tooling can also be designed to handle multiple payloads in one lift.

PL2000 lift tubes are available in a range of diameters to meet the exact requirements of your application based on tooling weight, payload porosity, available surface area for vacuum cups and the weight of your payload.  Standard vertical lifting strokes are 66 or 94 inches.

PL2000 vacuum lifters are available in painted mild steel, 304 and 316 stainless steel to cGMP pharmaceutical cleanliness standards.  Lift tube options include seamless covering for sanitary work areas and heavy duty covering for the most rugged industrial environments.
