As a proven health and safety solution, a Palamatic vacuum tube lifter offers increased operator safety and performance allowing efficient use of labour and reduced injuries and claims.
The company’s systems are robust and built to last and endure the requirements of the woodworking industry. Applications it regularly provides equipment for include loading and unloading for vertical panel saws, beam saws, dimension saws, flat-bed CNC stations, edgebanders, laminators, paint lines and tilt tables.
Board lifter
The most common wood materials handled by our lifting systems include Trespa jumbo boards, Spandrel panels, MDF, MFC, chipboard, wood, plywood, Sterling board, plasterboard and polycarbonate – weights up to 350kg can be picked up.
Wood products handled include fire doors, panel doors, furniture, staircases, planks, timber sections, laminate surfaces and cabinets. The company is also often asked to rotate boards through 90 or 180° for loading saws and gripping boards which its systems can handle with ease.

Matt Bennison, Palamatic’s customer relations and marketing manager, explains how the company addresses each application:
“Our philosophy is to provide equipment fit for the purpose, so all applications are looked at by our engineers to design the correct solution."
“The gantry that the lifting systems are suspended on are critical to offering an ergonomic solution that works for the operator. We can provide H-style gantry systems to cover large areas, but our smaller swing jibs and low headroom centre posts can fit in to areas where space is an issue and work perfectly well,” points out Matt.
90° manual lifter
With our 22,000ft² factory based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, we are well placed to visit customer sites, and for customers to send us samples to test prior to us manufacturing their vacuum tube lifter. We have a skilled field engineering team to install the systems and come in to train your operators.

“We recommend our service contracts with each system as we find the wood industry use their systems daily and therefore the upkeep of them is vital for production.”
