Roofing insulated panels installation is now faster,e asier and safer thanks to Righetti vacuum lifter.

Handling sandwich roofing panels using vacuum lifters

Under the term “roofing panels installation”, we refer to all jobs that require the installation of sandwich panels on a roof. GIven the current size of insulated panels, manual handling could be troublesome. On the contrary, vacuum lifting devices gurantee:

  • Simplicity and speed: they are simple to use and easy to maneuver, allowing you to lift and install your panels in less time than with other systems
  • Cost reduction: with vacuum technology, the lifter will help you do the job and allow you to optimize the work, thus saving on labor and shortening time
  • Safeguarding the panel: Righetti suction lifters adhere perfectly to the surface of the panel, preserving its integrity and preventing it from being punctured
  • Safety on site: working on site with Righetti vacuum lifters means complying with EN13155 safety standards thanks to the dual vacuum circuit, audiovisual alarms and vacuum control unit

    What cannot be missing in a roofing vacuum lifter?

    On the contrary of wall panels installation, handling roofing panels requires a longer vacuum lifter for guaranteeing adequate support to the panel.

    Easy installation

    The technology and structure of the lifter allow you to install panels easily, quickly, and safely, thus guaranteeing the stability of the load regardless of the type of panel. This is also possible thanks to the special gripping and suction system, designed by Righetti’s R&D department, which ensures safe and immediate suction even of micro-ribbed and corrugated panels.

    Assembly speed

    Respect of deadlines on site is crucial: a vacuum lifter must be ready for use ina quick and easy way. Righetti lifters can be assembled in just a few steps without the need for tools thanks to quick couplings.

    Modular structure

    Sandwich panels are not all the same: adapting the size of the vacuum lifter to the different lengths of the panels ensures adequate support and stability of the panel. This is possible thanks to the modular structure of Righetti lifters, which can be configured according to both the length and type of panels.

    Battery operating system

    Righetti vacuum lifters are powered by built-in batteries for operating without the obstruction of external power cords. Batteries are rechargeable and easily replaceable when needed, so your worksite never stops. With the included dual battery kit, you can always have a charged set of batteries to get your work done without interruption.

    Radio remote control

    It’s often useful to have a wireless radio remote control to manage panel suction and release, making it easy to detach the lift remotely. On the entire CL1 series, the radio remote control is available as an option.

    Compliance for construction site use

    Suction lifters are designed primarily for handling and installing sandwich panels on construction sites. For this reason they are equipped with safety systems and a dual vacuum circuit in full compliance with European regulations EN13155. Approved by site safety managers, our vacuum lifters no longer make it necessary to use slings or other secondary lifting systems.

    Easy storage

    Using a suction lifter is not limited to the work itself; it also requires considerations for transportation and storage. Righetti’s R&D department has designed a compact sized parking stand that is composed with the very frame of the vacuum lifter to reduce the dimensions of the cladding lifter to the size of a pallet (100x80cm).

    What are our suggestions?

    We know you may need to move sandwich panels of different sizes and finishes, which can change from job to job. Whether they are smooth, micro-ribbed or corrugated, made of polyurethane or mineral wool, we have the ideal vacuum lift to give your panels the right support.

    Generally, roofing panels have the outer layer made of sheet metal with a 3- or 5-frets and small slats between each fret. Righetti vacuum lifters are specifically designed to make gripping fast and secure on both polyurethane and rock wool panels. However, we advise you to always check the compatibility of the lifting device with the panel to be lifted, especially with regard to the shape of its outer surface.

    The CL1-6 model is the ideal solution for panels up to 12 meters as well as for longer ones thanks to the practical extension arms (CL1-6 EXT). In case of lifting insulated panels up to 8 meters, you can opt for a fixed structure vacuum lifter CL-F.
