Assessment of Vacuum Lifters

We carry out the testing of vacuum lifting devices annually on our site or at your premises, as prescribed by the trade association. The units are checked point-by-point according the requirements of the safety standard, EN 13155. We don’t only inspect the units, we also carry out load testing or check the carrying capacity of the suction cup.

When carrying out on-site testing, we check the carrying capacity of individual suction cups, rather that the carrying capacity of the whole unit, using our specially developed portable suction cup testing device.
