In factories, warehouses and manufacturing facilities across the UK, efficient material handling isn’t just a convenience — it’s a competitive advantage. That’s where Turbo Vacuumentation Ltd comes in. For decades, this Stockport-based company has delivered high-performance vacuum lifting, handling, and automation solutions designed to boost productivity, improve workplace safety and simplify complex applications.
Vacuum Handling: Smart Ergonomics for Manual Operations
At the heart of Turbo Vac’s offering is a complete manual handling systems range that brings vacuum technology into everyday lifting tasks.
- VacuMaster Series – Engineered for moving heavy and awkward materials such as metal plates, wooden boards, glass sheets, and plastic panels, the VacuMaster series allows a single operator to manage loads that would otherwise require multiple people. This dramatically improves ergonomics and reduces health and safety risks on the shop floor.
- Jumbo Tube Lifters – From goods receiving to dispatch areas, these vacuum tube lifters excel in fast, repetitive lifting tasks. They’re intuitive to operate, speed up workflows, and lessen physical strain for workers handling loads up to several hundred kilograms.
- Workshop Equipment – Including vacuum workbenches and transport trolleys, this equipment enhances workflow organisation and handling efficiency, especially in environments where space and precision matter.
These manual solutions are more than lifting tools – they are ergonomics-driven systems that help businesses reduce physical stress on workers, speed up processes, and stay compliant with workplace safety norms.
Crane Systems: Reach Further, Lift Better
For larger industrial environments, Turbo Vacuumentation offers crane systems and associated lifting gear that integrate seamlessly with their vacuum handling equipment.
- Gantry and Jib Cranes – Modular, easy-to-install crane solutions that enhance reach and flexibility across production floors. These systems help move heavy workpieces or entire assemblies with precision and minimal effort.
- Chain Hoists – Built for durability and reliable load control, these hoists are compatible with different crane configurations and deliver smooth lifting up to significant weights.
By combining cranes with vacuum lifters, companies can transform how they manage heavy loads — reducing bottlenecks and improving overall throughput with much less manual intervention.
Vacuum Components: Customisation Meets Automation
Not every application needs a full system — sometimes, flexibility comes from the components that make these systems possible.
Turbo Vac stocks an extensive range of vacuum components, including:
- Suction Cups, Grippers & Area Grippers
- Vacuum Generators and Valves
- Mounting Elements and Monitoring Devices
- Switches, Filters & Connections
These components provide the building blocks for bespoke vacuum systems, allowing manufacturers and automation engineers to tailor solutions for unique processes. From robotic end-of-arm tooling to specialised gripping in automated lines, the right components empower companies to optimise their production with precision.
Vacuum Clamping and Gripping Systems
Turbo Vac’s vacuum handling portfolio also includes:
- Vacuum Clamping Systems – Precision clamping solutions for CNC machinery, tool rooms, and fabrication shops. These systems secure workpieces during machining, drilling, grinding, or routing operations.
- Advanced Gripping Solutions – From layer grippers for palletising to suction spiders for complex shapes, these technologies support enhanced automation, especially in high-volume or repetitive tasks.
Whether integrated into fully automated production lines or used in hybrid manual/automated workflows, these systems help businesses reduce cycle times and increase consistency.
Bespoke and Specialist Products
Not all lifting and handling tasks are created equal. Turbo Vac’s bespoke solutions are custom-designed by in-house experts to meet specific project requirements ranging from unusual workpiece shapes to challenging environments — even underwater applications where specialised suction pads secure equipment and components in demanding conditions.
