Wood's Powr-Grip MT Lifter Series Manual Tilt Vacuum Lifters for Glass, Stone & Sheet Material Handling
The Wood's Powr-Grip MT Lifter Series is a line of professional-grade below-the-hook vacuum lifters engineered to lift, tilt safely, and transfer glass, stone, sheet metal, architectural panels, and other smooth or specialty-surface materials. Designed for fabrication shops, glazing contractors, and industrial material handling, the MT Series combines dependable vacuum technology with manual 90° tilting to improve productivity while reducing operator fatigue and the risk of material damage.
Available in multiple capacities, pad configurations, and AC, DC battery, or compressed air power systems, the MT Series provides a solution for everything from compact single-pad lifting to heavy-duty stone slab handling. Their narrow profile allows operators to retrieve materials from tightly spaced storage racks, while above-center pivot designs help loads naturally remain upright during transport. Depending on the model, optional accessories such as flat-lift adapters, forklift mounting systems, remote power packages, and individual pad shutoffs further expand the lifter's versatility. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Key Features & Benefits
Manual 90° Tilt Mechanism
The MT Series provides controlled manual tilting between upright and horizontal positions, allowing operators to transfer materials from storage racks to fabrication tables, bridge saws, CNC machines, or installation positions while maintaining excellent load control. The above-center pivot found on many MT models naturally keeps slabs hanging vertically during lifting operations. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Multiple Power System Options
Select models are available with rechargeable DC battery systems, AC electric power, or compressed air operation, allowing the lifter to be configured for fabrication shops, production facilities, cranes, forklifts, or field installation environments. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Vacuum Safety Monitoring
Each lifter continuously monitors vacuum performance using vacuum gauges, reserve tanks, warning lights, and audible alarms (model dependent). These systems alert operators if vacuum levels fall below safe operating limits, helping protect both personnel and valuable materials. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Narrow Profile for Storage Rack Access
The slim frame design enables operators to retrieve slabs and panels from closely spaced vertical storage racks where conventional lifting equipment cannot easily fit.
Foam Pad Rings & Individual Pad Shutoffs
Many MT Series stone lifters include foam pad rings for gripping honed, saw-cut, flamed, and polished stone surfaces. Individual vacuum pad shutoffs allow the lifter to safely handle irregular slab shapes, sink cutouts, and custom fabricated pieces. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Expandable Configuration Options
Depending on the model, MT lifters can be equipped with flat-lift adapters, forklift mounting kits, remote-mounted power systems, alternative vacuum pads, and specialized accessories to meet unique material handling requirements. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
