Installation of roof and wall panels for a cold store

For the installation of sandwich roof and wall panels of the cold store building, different VIAVAC vacuum lifters were used. CladBoy CB4 was used for the roofing, and CladBoy compact for the wall panels. The installation work was done by KIM Nederland, leading specialist in modular insulated construction.

The cold store is composed of a 40 m high steel structure with sandwich panels for the roof. The façade has a thickness of 20 cm and panels up to a length of 19 m.

Strict safety requirements on the construction site

For this project, very strict requirements were set concerning safety on the construction site and the working conditions for the employees. The use of VIAVAC vacuum lifters, among other things, made it possible to install the very long and heavy sandwich panels in a safe and efficient way.

The cold store has more than 21,000 pallet places and a fully automated logistics throughput system at an operating temperature of -17 degrees.

Installation of 22m long sandwich roof panels

The VIAVAC vacuum lifter is used for installing 22m long rock wool sandwich roof panels. The panels (with a thickness of a full 150 mm) weigh 450 kg. For this project, use is made of the CladBoy CB5 with dual vacuum technology.

More about this project

Safe and efficient
Due to the considerable weight combined with the length of the panels, use is made of additional intermediate suction cups in order to achieve a good weight distribution. For the installation team, working with the VIAVAC vacuum lifter was a safe and efficient method for installing the long panels.

Facade installation for Henkel’s central warehouse

For the facade installation for the new central warehouse of Henkel, the CladBoy compact GB2-375 was used successfully. The central warehouse is the world’s largest fully automated storage centre with a total floor area of 16,000 m² with 10 floors and a capacity of 90,000 pallet places.

More about this project

Minimum effort required
The facades are constructed of sandwich panels with a rock wool core, delivered and installed by the firm Brucha. This compact vacuum lifter is fitted with a dual vacuum system, so that secondary safety devices are not necessary. Because of this, the heavy sandwich panels (circa 300 kg and a length of circa 12 m) could be installed quickly, with minimal utilization of personnel, in an efficient way.

Sandwich roofing panels with a length of 22 meters

For the further expansion of a production hall in Germany, the company Brüninghoff GmbH has installed sandwich rock wool-based roofing panels with a length of 22 meters for the company Friedrich Hippe, by making use of the CladBoy CB5 vacuum lifter.

More about this project

Because of the length of the panels, this vacuum lifter is equipped with a dual vacuum system, suction cups in between and it has a chain suspension. The chain suspension ensures that the panel stays straight and does not bend, which prevents the panels from being damaged.

With the aid of the vacuum lifter, panels can be installed by employees with minimal effort in a quick and safe way. With the CladBoy CB5, it is even possible to install panels up to a length of 25 meters.

Installation of curved roof panels

VIAVAC has developed a special vacuum lifter for the company Neptunus, headquartered in Kessel. Neptunus is the specialist in the design, rental and construction of tents for events, as well as disassemblable buildings. From 10 m² to 20,000 m² or even more, from basic to luxurious. For the quick and safe installation of curved panels, Neptunus was searching for a special vacuum lifter.

More about this project

They needed a vacuum lifter with which long sandwich roof panels up to a maximum length of 24 metres could be mounted in a single operation. The vacuum lifter needed to be quick and easy to adjust to the length of the sandwich panels. An extra requirement was that the panels had to be able to be installed both straight and curved.

For  the design, VIAVAC – in consultation with Hans Eijlers, director of Neptunus – developed a vacuum lifter with a telescopic traverse for adjusting the suction cup distance to the different panel lengths.

In order to be able to mount the panel on an arch, a height-adjustable suspension of the suction cups was developed to be positioned at the end of the device. This permits the curve of the panel to be determined and set per length.

For ease of operation, the device is fitted with a dual vacuum system, whereby the use of extra safety straps is not necessary and the controls have a wireless remote control.

For transporting the vacuum lifter, a special frame is provided with extra support for the long traverse, so that the machine can be transported easily from one project to another.

Glass installation in office building ‘The Edge’

The most sustainable office building in the world is found in Amsterdam. With more than 13,000 m² of glass on the facade, the building is a real eye-catcher for travellers on the A10 motorway. For the installation of the facade,  the firm Rollecate was searching for a multifunctional vacuum lifting tool for installing the glass elements of different shapes and dimensions on an incline. The solution they selected was the VIAVAC GBX.

Radio remote control
The radio remote control saved a great deal of time as well as the use of extra aerial platforms. Upon conclusion of the project, the head contractor Henk Hakman expressed his satisfaction: ‘The VIAVAC GBX was the right solution for this project and fully met our expectations.’

Installation of curved glass at hospital Enschede

A new, modern hospital is built in the centre of the city Enschede (Netherlands). A VIAVAC glass lifter was used at this building project: the VIAVAC compact Curved. With this vacuum device it is possible to mount curved glass elements simply and easily.

More about this project

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.
