With the aid of the VacuMaster VHB, a single person can handle boards, planks and beams up to 6 m long.
While the two versions VHB 250 and VHB 500 are intended for handling wood with cracks, the VacuMaster VHB 350/500 is also suitable for wood with cracks (such as that from deciduous trees). This is achieved by means of automatic check valves which automatically detect when the necessary vacuum cannot be established. Each suction pad is divided into two independent sections. If one of these sections is not covered by the workpiece, or if there is too much air leaking into it as the result of damage or cracks, the related check valve closes to prevent the vacuum in the system from breaking down.
