SL 2 Vacuum Lifting Attachment | Vacuworx

The SL-2 subcompact vacuum lifting attachment available for skid steers, mini skid steers, and excavators is the ultimate attachment for operators looking for a lightweight and extremely versatile vacuum lifting attachment. The system has been recently updated (2020) with an improved hydraulic system and modular pads to work with more machines and for applications! Featuring aluminum construction, the design runs off the host machine hydraulic system and can be easily attached in minutes to lift steel plate, concrete, granite, and marble slabs, landscape paves, and more! In addition a quick-connect hydraulic hose makes switching attachments fast and way so you can maximize productivity on the job. Perfect for floor, sidewalk, driveway, road, and landscaping projects.

The SL-2 is a great option for working indoors with no battery to charge. Available with a wireless remote control for initiating and releasing the vacuum. Models with accumulator design allow contractors to use the system on equipment without a case drain. Hydraulically driven vacuum pump operates using the auxiliary hydraulics from the hose machine (minimum 10 GPM required with maximum 3,000 PSI).

All system components are manufactured using high-quality aluminum to maximize the overall lifting capacity of the host machine.

Benefits of Vacuum Lifting with the SL 2 and your Skid Steer Loader

Vacuum lifting is a safer and more time-effective solution when compared to traditional methods such as chains, hooks, and slings. Vacuum lifting can help reduce downtime between lifts while keeping workers out of harm’s way.

Build Your Vacuum Lifting System

The SL 2 is designed to lift concrete, granite, marble, metal, steel, and other flat non-porous materials. Pair the unit with a vacuum pad to accommodate the size and weight of the material to be handled (material being lifted should not be more than 3 times the length and width of the pad) Next chose the mounting option that fits your needs. The SL 2 can also be connected to small excavators, backhoes, and cranes using a clevis hook connection included. 

Vacuum Pad Tough Seal

Standard in all Vacuworx vacuum pads, Tough Seal™ is formulated to withstand rugged job site conditions and extreme temperatures. Tough Seal™ protects materials by eliminating metal contact and secures proper vacuum even on dirty and somewhat uneven surfaces. The patent-pending one-piece molded compound has improved tear strength and resists abrasions for 2 to 3 times longer performance life compared to alternative pad technologies.
