Q&A
Q: What is the Weha EP800 Unipad Pneumatic Vacuum Lifter used for?
A: The EP800 is designed for lifting, transporting, and positioning heavy stone slabs, glass panels, metal sheets, porcelain, and other non-porous materials in professional fabrication and installation environments.
Q: What is the lifting capacity of the EP800?
A: The EP800 has a maximum lifting capacity of 800 kg (1,760 lbs), making it suitable for handling large and heavy materials safely.
Q: What does “Unipad” mean?
A: Unipad refers to the lifter's single vacuum pad design, which provides strong suction while allowing efficient handling of slabs and panels.
Q: How is the EP800 powered?
A: The EP800 operates using a pneumatic (compressed air) vacuum system, making it ideal for workshops and job sites equipped with compressed air.
Q: What materials can be lifted with the EP800?
A: It is suitable for granite, marble, quartz, quartzite, porcelain, sintered stone, glass, metal panels, and other smooth, non-porous surfaces.
Q: Is the vacuum grip secure during lifting?
A: Yes. The pneumatic vacuum system provides reliable suction to help ensure safe material handling when operated according to manufacturer guidelines.
Q: Can the EP800 be used with cranes and hoists?
A: Yes. It is designed for use with approved overhead cranes, gantries, hoists, and other lifting systems commonly found in fabrication facilities.
Q: Does the vacuum lifter help protect material surfaces?
A: Yes. Vacuum lifting minimizes direct clamping pressure, helping reduce the risk of scratches, chips, and edge damage during transport.
Q: Is the EP800 suitable for professional stone fabrication shops?
A: Yes. It is built for demanding commercial environments, including stone fabrication shops, countertop manufacturers, glass processors, and industrial material handling operations.
Q: Why choose the Weha EP800 Unipad Pneumatic Vacuum Lifter (118674)?

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the vacuum pad, seals, hoses, and fittings before each use for wear, cracks, or damage that could reduce suction performance.
- Keep the vacuum pad clean and free of dust, stone particles, oil, and debris to ensure maximum holding power.
- Check pneumatic hoses and air supply connections regularly for leaks, loose fittings, or signs of wear.
- Monitor vacuum pressure during operation to ensure safe lifting and secure load handling.
- Clean filters and air system components periodically to maintain proper airflow and efficient performance.
- Never exceed the rated lifting capacity and always verify that the load surface is clean, smooth, and suitable for vacuum lifting.
- Store the lifter in a clean, dry environment to protect seals, hoses, and pneumatic components from damage.
- Perform routine inspections and preventive maintenance to maximize safety, suction reliability, and equipment lifespan.
