Bohle’s new LiftMaster Quadro automatic vacuum lifter has been awarded a GS Mark, said to be the first battery powered lifting system to meet the requirements for the safety accreditation.
The GS Mark, which stands for ‘Geprüfte Sicherheit’, or ‘Certified Safety’, is recognised throughout Europe and is designed to minimise a manufacturer’s risk of liability as well as to provide the confidence that products have been produced to the highest quality.
Capable of handling up to 400kg in its standard four-pad unit, the LiftMaster Quadro can also be configured with four extension arms to cater for loads of up to 800kg. Incorporating a dual-circuit vacuum system, LiftMaster Quadro has been designed to be strong enough to secure its maximum load, even in the unlikely event that vacuum is lost on one circuit. It can also detect any loss of suction, or low battery levels, alerting users with an audible alarm and via a display that also includes a digital temperature reading and remaining battery power.
The system is powered by standard Li-ion batteries.
National sales manager Paul Miller said: “Achieving the GS Mark is the ultimate ‘stamp of approval’ for safety,” he concluded. “The LiftMaster Quadro is a highly versatile system, it’s easy to operate and manoeuvre, and even when handling loads as heavy as 800kg, users can have absolute confidence that it’s fit for purpose.”
