The corners of the winter gardens consist of large, warm, curved glass elements. Octatube hired the VIAVAC compact Curved glass lifter to install these elements. This machine is designed specifically for placing curved glass elements, and can be adjusted to accommodate different radii. In addition, with the VIAVAC compact Curved, the elements can easily be rotated (360°) and tilted (90°) from their transport position.

For this project, Octatube is also using the VIAVAC GBX for the installation of flat glass elements. This glass lifter is suitable for lifting elements up to a weight of 800 kilograms.

Both glass lifters feature two independent vacuum circuits, eliminating the need for safety straps and allowing efficient operation. In addition to the option to rent, VIAVAC also offers the vacuum lifting tools for sale.

The front of this modern building has a large wall of glass, with rounded corners. The VIAVAC compact Curved was succesfully used for a quick and safe installation of the curved glass elements.

The VIAVAC compact Curved contains a special suction pad frame, which makes it adjustable for different radii. It is possible to lift glass with a minimum radius of 1000mm and a maximum weight of 300kg. The glass lifter can lift glass on the convex or the concave side.

Aside from sales, we also offer this device for rent.
