Vacuum lifters are used across many sectors wherever precise, safe and fast handling of heavy elements is required. They excel with glass, stone, sheet metal and sandwich panels. With advanced vacuum technology they provide a secure grip regardless of size or shape, which is a huge advantage for installation and processing.
These lifters are especially valued in stonemasonry, glazing and window production. They are also excellent for installing stone countertops and tiles. Beyond versatility, a key benefit is that they speed up work and lower damage risk—translating into real savings and higher day-to-day efficiency.
Vacuum lifters are modern devices based on negative pressure. Designed for safely lifting and moving materials that are difficult to handle due to dimensions or properties, they work in a simple yet effective way—the lifter adheres to the surface via vacuum, allowing stable, precise movement.
This solution is ideal for both heavy and delicate elements—sheet metal, glass, stone or sandwich panels. It not only accelerates work, it also markedly reduces the risk of damage in transit. The technology sees use from stone and glass processing through construction to furniture and interior-fit-out production.
In construction—especially for windows and façades—safety and accuracy in moving panes are critical. Vacuum lifters shine here. Thanks to negative pressure, the glass is held firmly, avoiding cracks, scratches or other damage.
This is particularly important with large panes where every millimetre counts and mistakes are costly. Befard vacuum lifters simplify the process, shorten installation times and reduce errors. Work flows better and the finish is more aesthetic and robust—in practice: less material loss and lower costs for both contractors and investors.
Vacuum lifters are transforming how sheet is handled and installed in steel and construction industries. Advanced vacuum technology enables safe, fast transport of sheets of many sizes—even in tough conditions. With precise gripping, the material won’t shift, scratch or deform. A secure vacuum hold means safer, faster manipulation of heavy elements like sheets—accelerating projects, cutting work time and minimising errors. The result: higher efficiency and safety on large construction and production jobs.
In stoneworking, moving heavy blocks and slabs is central to processing and installation. Our vacuum lifters are engineered for this demanding material. Vacuum suction ensures safety and precise transfer of large, heavy stone slabs—and exact placement at the installation point. Because stone needs extra care, vacuum lifters provide a stable grip, minimising risk of cracks, scratches or other damage.
Using vacuum lifters in stone processing significantly improves efficiency by enabling fast, safe movement of large elements. With precise motion control, slabs can be aligned and set more accurately—speeding installation and improving quality, while reducing errors and material loss.
Stone countertops are elegant, durable and functional, increasingly popular—especially in kitchens and bathrooms. Made from natural materials such as marble, granite, quartzite or sandstone, they offer beauty plus exceptional resistance to mechanical damage, high temperatures and moisture—an investment for years that elevates interiors.
Installation demands precise fitting and the right tools. Due to weight and delicacy, the key is using the right technology—vacuum lifters for stone countertops. These innovative devices enable safe, precise handling and installation of heavy elements, eliminating damage risk and accelerating the process—improving safety and finish quality.
Sandwich-panel buildings are modern, highly popular solutions for industry and commercial construction. Panels—typically steel sheets with an insulating core—offer excellent thermal performance, weather resistance and easy installation, making them ideal for warehouses, production halls, industrial facilities, cold stores and agricultural buildings.
Vacuum lifters for sandwich panels enable fast, precise transfer and installation—significantly speeding projects. They allow safe placement on site, reducing damage in transport. Overall, vacuum lifters make the process more efficient and accurate—saving time and cutting construction costs.
Stone tiles are a staple in construction and interior design for their durability, timeless look and unique character—marble, granite, travertine, slate or sandstone—for floors, walls and even kitchen/bathroom countertops. They resist scratches, wear and high temperatures; each tile has its own pattern and texture.
Due to weight and delicacy, installation calls for precision—this is where vacuum lifters help: modern tools for safely, accurately carrying and laying stone tiles. They speed up work and minimise damage risk, improving installation quality, reducing errors and saving time—benefits that matter in everyday site work, from homes to large commercial projects.
Vacuum lifters are advanced devices widely used in stonemasonry, construction and in installing stone countertops, sandwich panels, stone tiles and glazing. Thanks to innovative vacuum technology, they ensure precise, safe and efficient handling, greatly increasing productivity while minimising material damage. Befard offers a broad range tailored to professional needs—improving quality and speed in building, stone and fit-out projects.
