Successful MACH Exhibition

Posted on May 18, 2018 by Phil

We had an excellent week exhibiting at the MACH 2018 with a good flow of visitors and a lot of interest in our vacuum lifting equipment. Andreas Schlickmann, the owner of Vacu-Lift, flew over from Germany to join us for a couple of days.

We had many enquiries for our self-suction vacuum lifters to lift sheet steel onto Laser, Plasma and Water Jet machines. We also had enquiries for vacuum devices to lift bags, blocks of cheese, steel beams and stone blocks amongst other things.
