It’s been said that big things come in small packages. The next generation of battery powered lifters from Vacuworx really puts that theory to the test! The new PHD Portable Vacuum Lifting System weighs just 25 lb (11 kg), yet it generates enough power to lift up to 2,500 lb (1.13 tonne). With smart features like a remote control, lithium battery and dual pump design, the PHD is ready to prove how it can help contractors work faster, safer and smarter!
Remote Control
Our customers asked and we listened. One of the most common requests Vacuworx received from the popular PS 1 Portable Vacuum Lifting System was to incorporate a remote control so that the operator doesn’t have to be right next to the unit to turn it on and off. In addition, the remote allows the user to use the PHD in more applications and on more host machines.
Lithium Battery
The PHD comes standard with a 12V 30 amp/hour rechargeable LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery. This means it will provide longer run time and overall longer battery life. The lithium battery is significantly lighter than traditional dry cell batteries, so you don’t have extra weight to carry around. The battery charger is fast and efficient—simply plug the system in at night and be ready for another full day’s work in the morning.
Dual Pump Design
The PHD features two dual-stage vacuum pumps to build vacuum faster. Vacuworx engineered the system to draw less power from the battery, while providing a deeper vacuum than single stage pumps. In addition, the PHD releases vacuum more efficiently to increase productivity.
Additional Features
The PHD is designed to absorb vibration from the pump for quiet operation. An inline filter protects the system from dust and debris; the filter element is easy to replace when it becomes clogged or dirty, which prevents damage to the system. Hoses have quick connections to both the unit and the pads, and the PHD has both visible and audible alarms for safety.
Mounting Options
Vacuworx offers mounting assemblies to facilitate the use of the PHD on mini skid steers. You can asl use it on mini excavators, forklifts, small cranes and Husqvarna demolition robots.
