How much can the SVL100 lift?
The SVL100 has a lifting capacity of 2200 lbs (1000 kg). That is the rated maximum for the lifter, so the slab plus anything attached to it must stay under that figure. Weigh your heaviest slab before ordering, and make sure the crane or hoist you hang it from is rated for the load and the lifter together.
What power source does it need?
It runs on compressed air, not electricity. You need a shop air supply at the lifting point, which is why it fits warehouses, workshops, and fixed processing lines better than remote or outdoor work. The product data does not list an operating pressure or air consumption figure, so establish that requirement before planning the connection.
What material is it designed to handle?
Large stone slabs. Four soft-rubber suction cups spread the grip across the slab face, maximizing adhesion while preventing scratches and surface damage. The rubber is offered in black or white. Because the cups need a smooth, continuous surface to seal against, porous, heavily textured, broken, or undersized pieces are outside what this four-cup layout is built for.
Can it turn a slab from flat to upright?
Yes, the frame tilts through a 0° to 90° range. That lets you pick a slab flat off a processing table and bring it vertical for racking, transport, or installation positioning, or reverse the sequence. The specifications describe the tilt range only; they do not state whether tilting is powered or manual, so check that when you order.
Does it come with a crane or hoist?
No. The SVL100 is built to work with existing hoist systems, so you attach it to overhead equipment you already run. Its compact frame suits warehouses, workshops, and processing tables or lines. In the US, below-the-hook lifting devices of this type fall under ASME B30.20; the product data states no certification, so verify that separately.
Who is this lifter right for, and who should look elsewhere?
It suits stone shops and warehouses that already have an overhead hoist and compressed air and move large slabs daily. It is a poor fit if you have no air supply, if your loads exceed 2200 lbs (1000 kg), or if you mostly handle small, irregular, or porous pieces that cannot seal across four cups. Pricing starts at $4,923.
