Vacuum lifter for stone slabs and kitchen countertops with flexible suction plate configuration

P5A-KR-PR from Righetti is a pneumatic vacuum lifter for stone slabs and kitchen countertops, designed for safe and efficient handling of both large elements and smaller cut-outs in non-porous materials. The lifter is suitable for both horizontal and vertical lifting and is well suited for production and installation where slab sizes vary.

The lifter is equipped with five rectangular suction plates mounted on a 2,200 mm lifting beam with removable side arms. The side arms can be removed, allowing the lifter to be used in a compact configuration with only the central suction plate. This provides high flexibility and enables handling of both large countertops and smaller elements with the same lifter.

The suction plates can be repositioned along the beam, and the orientation of both the central and outer plates can be adjusted via a quick rotation system. P5A-KR-PR features pneumatic tilt from 0–90°, controlled via joystick on the handle, ensuring controlled and stable movement between vertical and horizontal positions.

The lifter is available in two versions with maximum lifting capacities of 450 kg and 550 kg, depending on the selected model. When only the central suction plate is used, the lifting capacity is reduced accordingly. The weight depends on the configuration and starts from approximately 90 kg.

As standard, P5A-KR-PR is equipped with a complete vacuum system including vacuum reserve and non-return valves, a 2,200 mm lifting beam, safety on/off valve, visual and acoustic alarms for low vacuum level, as well as vacuum gauge with colour scale and vacuum filter. Load release is controlled via a two-step safety function.

Optional accessories include white seals, holder for crane control, and a quick system for repositioning the suction plates.
