Lifting under an overhang
31st January 2017

A Libro 5000 and Hydraulica 4000 Vacuum Lifter from GGR Group were called in to help in installing a 2800kg glass panel in a reglazing at a large private house.

A Libro 5000 overhang beam was selected, as the glass panel needed to be installed beneath an overhang, which meant that the area wasn’t accessible using a crane and lifter alone.

Working under the buildings overhang, the glass could be pushed close to the building using the Libro 5000 remote controlled counterweight saddle which is cable remote controlled and can be moved along the beam to balance the load.

With a capacity of 5000kg, the Libro 5000 could safely handle the combined 1400kg weight of the Hydraulica Glass Vacuum Lifter and glass loads.
