Size: 23" Bridge

The bridge is what ties your vacuum lifters to the rails and turns a flexing sheet into a solid platform. Panel Handler Aluminum Bridges span the panel beneath your GRABO lifters and press the frame flat to the surface — so large-format porcelain moves as one rigid piece instead of a slab waiting to snap. Available in multiple lengths.

More Details

Lightweight, anodized aluminum bridges that link vacuum lifters to the Panel Handler rails for rigid, modular slab support.

  • Material: High-grade aluminum alloy, anodized to resist corrosion and jobsite wear
  • Function: Press directly against the slab beneath suction lifters to minimize flex
  • Lengths: 23", 46", and 60" to suit different panel formats
  • System-ready: Pairs with Panel Handler rails, quick pins, and the original GRABO / GRABO PRO lifters (the GRABO Pro Brushless is not compatible with the Panel Handler system at this time)
  • Best for: Gauged porcelain panels and large-format slab handling

Panel Handler Aluminum Bridges — Rigid Support Tile Pros Depend On

When you're maneuvering large-format porcelain or thin gauged stone, the biggest risk is panel flex leading to cracked faces and broken edges. The Panel Handler Aluminum Bridges solve it by creating a secure link between your vacuum lifters and the structural rails that rest on the panel: deploy the GRABO cups, engage the bridges, and the slab becomes a unified support platform instead of a floppy sheet waiting to fail.

Each bridge is built from lightweight aluminum with an anodized finish for jobsite durability, so crews get easier transport and setup without giving up strength. The range of lengths lets you configure the rig fast — whether you're handling 6' to 10' panels or smaller sheets — and because they integrate with the rails and pins of the Panel Handler line, you get a modular system that adapts to your material and job complexity.

Combine them with the aluminum rails and quick pins as part of the full Porcelain Handler Lift System, powered by the original GRABO or GRABO PRO lifter. (Note: the GRABO Pro Brushless is not compatible with the Panel Handler system at this time.)

Why Tile Pros Choose It

  • Secure panel handling: Press directly to the panel under the lifters, minimizing flex and damage
  • Right size for the panel: 23", 46", and 60" lengths for adaptable setups
  • Durable construction: Anodized aluminum stands up to jobsite wear and repeated use
  • Labor-smart design: Lightweight yet strong, so crews move faster with less fatigue
  • System compatibility: Works with Panel Handler rails, pins, and GRABO lifters
  • The backbone your slab wishes it had: Rigid where the panel is weak

Pro tip: Match bridge length and spacing to the panel — the more bridges you run across the span, the less unsupported area is left to flex. Anchor each lifter over a bridge, not between them, for the most rigid carry.
