The slings and hooks usually used in the handling of pipe lines could easily be replaced by our systems of rubber suction pads, allowing a careful handling, without risk of damage of surfaces.
The experience of ACIMEX in vacuum handling by suction pads of the heavy loads applies perfectly to this industry.

|
The vacuum system STARLIFT will handle tubes, pipes, tanks or any other cylindrical
object. The handling by suction cups is a safe way to manipulate your products without
mechanical contact.
The internal and external surfaces of the object (epoxy, resin etc.)
and the gaskets on the end sides ensuring tightness, conserve the entire intactness of
the pipe or tube, without leaving any trace or mark. The use of STARLIFT
centralises all handling manipulations to the operator controlling the lifting mean
(excavator, shovel, overhead crane etc.).
This independence from staff tying the object
with belts, guarantees a high level of security and an efficiency increase of 30% to
35% thanks to its simple and fast utilization.
Objects to handle:
- Cast-iron pipes with or without surface coating
- Steel pipes with our without surface (oil or gas)
- Concrete tubes (sewage)
- Tanks (gas)
Applications:
- Steel industry, manufacturers of cast-iron or steel
- Concrete precasting of tubes
- Storage, loading and unloading for transport by road, sea, river, train or aircraft
- Open trench pipe installation
Load capacity:
- Diameter from 14 to 58 inches
- Length up to 20 m
- Maximum load 16 tons
« STARLIFT » is adjustable to all hydraulic excavators/shovels and overhead cranes by
its interfaces and different motorisations (electric, thermal, hydraulic).

 This vacuum lifter lifts one or more steel or concrete pipes to lay them in an excavation, move them to a place of storage or load them.
It can be fitted to a power shovel, or under a crane or an overhead crane. It has its own IC engine or hydraulic motor (option) and it is extremely easy to use.
In the event of an engine stoppage the load is guaranteed to be held for more than 30 minutes.
Function: horizontal handling of steel or concrete pipes.
Location: outside.
Loading capacity: up to 15 t.
Unladen weight: 2500 kg.
Technical Description :
- 1 welded fabricated frame, acting as a vacuum tank and holding the various components.
- The frame is fitted with a central yoke to be gripped by the hook of the crane or power shovel.
- 1 set of tube carrier tools fixed under the carrier beam by 2 pins. Suction pads fitted with 50x50 rubber seals mounted in a steel profile for easy changing.:
- 20-24 SUCTION PAD TOOLS
- 26-30 SUCTION PAD TOOLS
- 32-36 SUCTION PAD TOOLS
- 38-42 SUCTION PAD TOOLS
- 44-48 SUCTION PAD TOOLS
- 50-56 SUCTION PAD TOOLS
- 1 bistable solenoid valve for controlling the suction pads.
- 1 single stage vacuum pump, oil-lubricated and aircooled controlled by an IC engine with autonomy of 8h. Diesel fuel consumption: 1.2 litres/hour or hydraulic motor (option).
- Optical and acoustic alarm systems.
- 1 electric engine starting control box.
- 1 battery
- 1 radio control enabling the lifter to be controlled from the crane or shovel cab without any wire link.
- CE certificate.
Optional:
A ROTATOR providing a high degree of precision when turning tubes.
The Rotator comprises a positioning ring gear and a geared electric motor.
