The Nemo GRABO is a battery-powered vacuum lifter engineered to grip and lift smooth, textured, and porous materials on construction and installation job sites. This GRABO vacuum lifter attaches to glass, tile, stone, wood, drywall, metal, landscaping pavers, concrete, and even uneven or patterned surfaces using an integrated electric vacuum pump.
Unlike a traditional suction cup, the GRABO tool creates a powered vacuum seal that continuously monitors and maintains pressure while lifting. With a maximum lifting capacity of up to 375 lbs (170 kg) in perpendicular hold positions, the GRABO lifter provides material handling support across a wide range of applications including tile installation, glazing, stone fabrication, and general construction.
The integrated pressure gauge allows users to monitor vacuum strength during operation. A single power switch and green activation button initiate suction, while a red release button safely disengages the vacuum. The compact design weighs approximately 3.3 lbs with battery installed, making the GRABO suction cup easy to maneuver on busy job sites.
