Basic module
The basic module is the core component of the vacuum suction lifter, which includes the vacuum generation device, motion control device, and main frame.
1.Vacuum blower:Belt-driven, oil-free air-cooled rotary vane vacuum pump, characterized by high speed and large flow. Can
380V, composed of a motor and a fan. Three-phase power can generate vacuum, which is the core part of the vacuum system, with the highest vacuum
degree85%, with an air extraction volume of 225 cubic meters per hour. Spare parts or consumables:a, drive belt;b, belt tensioner
2. Lifting air tube:Contracts or extends with the increase or decrease of internal vacuum pressure to achieve vertical displacement;
3. Rotary joint:The bearing design allows the lifting air tube to rotate 360degrees from the top, with a built-in one-way valve that can automatically lock the vacuum when the vacuumpump loses power, extending the pressure-holding time and ensuring system safety;
4. Control handle:
The suctionrelease/lifting/and lowering of the workpiece are all completed through this control handle;/5. Extension flange:
Connects the suction cup to the control head, extending the distance;6. Vacuum filter:
Used to filter impurities and particles on the workpiece surface or in the air, ensuring the service life of the vacuum pump;7. Vacuum guide pipe:
Used for connecting the vacuum blower to the vacuum suction cup, high pressure and corrosion-resistant;8. Safety relief valve:
Automatically opens to relieve pressure when the system vacuum pressure reaches the set value, to protect the vacuum pump;9.
Quick-change connector:Used for quickly changing different suction cups, only takes3seconds to change a suction cup.Combination form
Different combination forms complete different suction and lifting. Its composition can be divided into ten categories, with diverse combinations to meet various needs.

Equipment specifications:
In the dynamic landscape of heavy lifting and material handling, innovation continuously reshapes efficiency and safety paradigms. One such innovative solution gaining significant traction is the elephant trunk suction crane. This specialized equipment integrates the formidable lifting power of a traditional crane with a vacuum-based suction system, offering a versatile and gentle approach to handling a wide array of materials. Unlike conventional hook-and-cable systems, the elephant trunk suction crane employs a flexible, trunk-like hose terminated with a powerful suction pad, allowing it to adapt to the shape of various objects. This unique design principle makes it an invaluable asset across numerous sectors, from construction and shipping to logistics and manufacturing.
The foremost advantage of utilizing an elephant trunk suction crane lies in its exceptional handling versatility and gentle material contact. The crane's suction pad can securely lift diverse loads, including but not limited to, glass panels, metal sheets, stone slabs, and packaged goods, without the need for slings, hooks, or clamps. This non-marring, evenly distributed grip minimizes the risk of surface damage, scratches, or deformation, which is crucial when dealing with finished products, polished surfaces, or fragile materials. The adaptability of the elephant trunk suction crane thus protects material integrity while streamlining the handling process for items that are difficult to secure by traditional means.
Operational efficiency and significant time savings represent another core benefit of this technology. The attachment and release cycles of an elephant trunk suction crane are typically much faster than rigging traditional lifting gear. Operators can engage and disengage loads with the push of a button, dramatically reducing downtime between lifts. This swift cycle time accelerates workflow on job sites, docks, and factory floors, leading to improved project timelines and higher throughput. The efficiency gains provided by the elephant trunk suction crane contribute directly to enhanced productivity in fast-paced industrial environments.
When evaluating workplace safety, the elephant trunk suction crane introduces substantial improvements. By automating the load-securing process, it reduces the need for manual labor in potentially hazardous situations where workers might otherwise be required to guide slings or attach hooks at height or near suspended loads. The secure vacuum grip lowers the risk of load slippage or swing compared to mechanical methods. Furthermore, the controlled and stable lift provided by the system enhances precision during placement, mitigating accidents related to load instability and collateral damage.
