Product details

The RDSE-1000 is a glass vacuum lifter built to hang from an overhead crane or hoist rather than to stand on the floor. It is the form factor you choose when the lifting height is already taken care of by the building, and what you still need is a panel gripper that can hold a heavy glass unit, rotate it, and tilt it into position without anyone standing under the load. Six Dia.400mm suction cups on a 2741 × 1009mm frame give a 1000kg maximum load capacity, and the whole head weighs 218kg, so it stays workable on a standard overhead crane without special reinforcement.

This is not a walk-behind lifter. It has no chassis, no drive wheels and no battery-driven travel. The machine it hangs from does the lifting; the RDSE-1000 does the gripping, the rotating and the tilting. If you need a machine that drives itself to the panel and holds it at any height from the ground, that is a different product in our range, and we will point you to it rather than sell you the wrong one.

Product Features

1. Six Dia.400mm cups spread across a 2741 × 1009mm frame. The cups are far apart rather than clustered, so the load is carried across the panel's width instead of concentrated at one point. Each cup has its own buffer spring, which lets the frame settle onto a slightly uneven glass surface instead of loading one corner.

2. 360° endless rotation with 0°-90° tilting, both under electric control. A panel can be swung around a facade line and tipped from vertical to horizontal to land flat on a table, a frame or a bracket, without the operator repositioning the hook or changing grip.

3. Wired and wireless dual remote control. The wired remote is for when the operator works close to the load and needs the control in hand; the wireless remote is for when the operator needs to stand clear, on the floor rather than on a suspended platform. The same head serves both, so you are not choosing one control style and losing the other.

4. IP43 ingress protection. The head works outdoors and in unfinished buildings where dust and light moisture are normal, which is the normal working environment for overhead installation work.

5. 900W rated power on DC24V, with two 12V-28AH batteries and a charger that accepts AC110V-240V. Power draw is low enough that the head can be left on the crane overnight without being taken down to charge.

6. 218kg self weight. Compared with a 1000kg mechanical lifting beam, a 218kg vacuum head is light enough that most overhead cranes in the 2-tonne class can carry it without a counterweight change or a structural check.

7. No floor-standing chassis, no drive wheels, no travel drive. Nothing on the floor has to be positioned, levelled or kept clear, so the head can be used over an opening, a stairwell or a finished floor where a walk-behind machine could not be placed at all.

Conclusion

The RDSE-1000 is a crane-hung glass vacuum lifter for teams whose lifting height is already covered by an overhead crane and who need the last metre handled by a gripper. Six Dia.400mm cups give a 1000kg capacity across a 2741 × 1009mm frame, the head rotates 360° endlessly and tilts 0°-90° under power, and the operator works from either a wired or a wireless remote. At 321kg and IP43, it suits outdoor and unfinished-site installation work. It requires an overhead crane or hoist above the work position — if you need a machine that reaches the height on its own, tell us the height and we will quote the self-supporting model instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does the RDSE-1000 need its own crane or hoist?
It needs something above it to hang from — an overhead crane, a jib crane or a hoist on a monorail. It has no lifting structure of its own, no wheels and no travel drive, so it cannot raise a panel from the ground. If you do not have a lifting structure at the work position, or you need the machine to reach 4m or 5m on its own, this is not the right model. Send us the working height and the plan of the position and we will tell you which of our self-supporting glass vacuum lifters fits, or whether an overhead crane is the more economical route at your volume.

2. What size of glass can it hold?
The rated maximum load capacity is 1000kg, and the six cups are spread across a 2741 × 1009mm frame, which is what determines the panel size it can hold rather than the capacity alone. Glass weight varies with thickness and size, so a 1000kg rating does not by itself tell you which panel dimensions will lift. Send us the panel thickness and the width and height of your largest unit and we will confirm from the cup layout what is safe, and tell you if your largest panel is outside what six Dia.400mm cups can cover.

3. Why choose a vacuum lifter over a mechanical lifting beam for the same crane?
A mechanical beam grips the panel by clamping its edges, so it needs a continuous frame edge to grip and it concentrates force on that edge. The RDSE-1000 grips the flat face with suction, so it needs no frame, works on glass without a finished edge, and a loss of vacuum on one cup is visible and correctable rather than a load released. It also rotates and tilts under power, which a beam does not. The trade-off is that a vacuum head needs a smooth, clean, dry glass face and its cups wear with use, so the cups are a consumable item to plan for.

4. What is the difference between the RDSE-1000 and the RDSE-800?
The two are the same machine type with a different load capacity. The RDSE-800 is rated 800kg, uses two 500 × 1000mm long-format cups and weighs 178kg. The RDSE-1000 is rated 1000kg, uses six round Dia.400mm cups and weighs 321kg. Both share 900W rated power, DC24V supply, 12V-28AH × 2 batteries, 0°-90° tilting, 360° endless rotation, IP43 and the same wired and wireless dual remote control. The choice is the capacity and the cup format, not the feature set.

5. How long does the battery last between charges, and what is the warranty?
The RDSE-1000 runs on two 12V-28AH batteries and the working time is not listed in our catalogue, so we will confirm the figure against your actual duty cycle rather than quote you a number we have not measured. The machine uses most common hardware parts, so parts can be bought locally from a hardware or lifting equipment supplier rather than shipped from us, and if a machine does break down we guide the repair by video and repair instruction. One year quality guarantee including the battery; if it breaks down within one year we send the parts free of charge. The battery life span is up to 2 years if maintained according to our maintenance manual.
