Global safety and engineering standards
When looking at which vacuum lifter manufacturer to use for your projects, you should always check to see what global standards the vacuum lifting company meets or exceeds. While there are many global safety and engineering standards that exist, the more recognised standards include AS (Standards Australia), ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), and CE Standards (European Community).
It is very important that manufacturers of vacuum lifting equipment comply with these global standards to ensure that their products meet all safety requirements, safeguarding your employees from potential harm and injury.
Safety is not negotiable
Vacuworx was founded to provide a safer solution for pipeline contractors and workers, allowing workers to be moved away from an unsafe lifting environment. “Safety is not Negotiable” has been a standard marketing phrase the company has used over the years, but it’s more than a slogan; it’s a business philosophy.
All Vacuworx products are manufactured to meet or exceed numerous global engineering and safety standards. Vacuworx’s products meet or exceed ASME BTH-1 for Design and Engineering, and ASME B30.20 for Construction, Build and Implementation. They also meet or exceed the AS 4991 that applies to vacuum lifters. Additionally, Vacuworx products meet or exceed the European CE Machinery Directive, the Low Voltage Directive and the Electromagnetic Interference Directive.
Vacuum lifters manufactured by Vacuworx Global are engineered products that have gone through extensive engineering design review, finite element analysis, critical testing in the field, and additional specific testing during manufacturing. This ensures that the vacuum lifting system you purchase from Vacuworx will continue to meet or exceed these global safety and engineering standards that are so important in our industry.
Highest quality parts make the most reliable vacuum lifter
Vacuworx utilises the highest quality parts to withstand the rigors of vacuum lifting in the pipeline construction industry. Of course, this costs more initially, but the longer life of a Vacuworx vacuum lifting system will give you better value for your equipment investment.
As vacuum lifting is Vacuworx’s only business, the company is constantly working to improve its products to remain the highest quality vacuum lifting company. For example, the company found that commercial, off-the-shelf vacuum pumps failed at a considerably high rate. For this reason, Vacuworx developed its own vacuum pump that is specifically designed for vacuum lifting. The proprietary Vacuworx vacuum pump is designed and manufactured to survive the heavy-duty applications you work in.
It is prudent and sensible to check and verify that the vacuum lifters utilised on your projects meet all of the global safety and engineering standards to ensure you are investing in the safest equipment for your workers. Be certain that safety, quality and reliability are not sacrificed in your equipment investment.
