DC Battery Powered Vacuum Lifters
For Applications where Corded Electric or Air Power is Not Available
![]() |
ANVER’s Battery Powered Vac-Pack Vacuum Generators contains the same features as the standard Electric Powered Vac-Pack Vacuum Generators but include a rechargeable 12 Volt DC battery, making it suitable for handling non-porous loads. It is commonly used for special applications where AC power is not readily available below the hook. Two main standard generators can be easily mounted to hundreds of potential lifting pads and beams. They recharge with standard 115 V AC power. We have recently redesigned these Vac-Packs with the latest new pumps, controls and batteries and they work better than ever. Contact factory for recommendations based on your application. If you are considering a battery system we recommend you purchase a spare battery and charger. As with all battery powered equipment using the battery on a regular basis and recharging when low is necessary. For our convenient lifting application chart, click here. |

Some Information about Battery Powered Vacuum Lifters:
When other alternatives won’t work Fine for worksite Glass Handling Battery powered lifters are generally not suitable for semi-porous or porous loads as these lifters require considerably larger, higher powered vacuum pumps with correspondingly larger, massive battery arrays. Our larger BAE1-GEN2 battery Vac-Pack uses a 3.2 CFM Pump and a 75 amp hour battery which is fairly large. Going above that gets expensive fast. |
OK for smooth stone handling but marginal for rough stone. If, however, you need a lifter in the field, a battery unit is worth considering. Battery powered lifters are best suited for jobsite installation work in the glass and polished stone industries, as forklift attachments, and for other specific applications where a power source is not available. Battery lifters which use foam pads are generally of marginal use; if the surface is not too rough, they can work, however with a slightly rougher surface they will not. Battery lifters are not great for Production nor recommended for high thruput |
All Battery Lifters are slower to attach require more maintenance and are more expensive. The Battery’s size and estimated duty cycle is limited. Pulling a vacuum severely taxes all battery units. You will find most have but a few hours at most of usability per day. Any standard powered unit will out-perform a battery unit multiple times over for usually far less. Battery powered lifters are more expensive and difficult to maintain, as they require more complicated electrical components and power controls. All batteries can die if not properly maintained. Instances of battery failures are lessened when equipment is used regularly. We build battery lifters for appropriate applications but you should realize the technologies current limitations. We build battery vacuum lifters using the latest battery power technology. This technology is improving but still has major limitations for vacuum lifting. |
