GRABO PRO Electric Vacuum Lifter — Heavy Lifting, Made a One-Person Job
Manual suction cups slip when a surface gets dusty or textured, and muscling large-format tile, stone slabs, and panels into place is a two-person job that punishes backs. The GRABO PRO replaces both: an electric vacuum pump and a strong foam-rubber seal grab almost any flat surface at the push of a button, so you can lift, carry, and set heavy, awkward material solo — up to 375 lb (about 170 kg) on non-porous surfaces.
The 20 L/min pump (the "20" in Pro-Lifter 20) builds strong suction fast and works where old suction cups fail — even dusty, semi-porous surfaces like drywall and plywood. A smart digital pressure sensor does the thinking for you: it cycles the pump to hold the vacuum, shuts off at maximum, and restarts automatically if it senses the grip slipping. The handle-mounted digital display shows your real-time safe lifting weight in pounds and kilograms, and the removable 14.8V battery runs about 1.5 hours per charge and holds a charge for 30 days on standby.
Keep a fresh foam-rubber seal on hand so suction never fades, and if you want adjustable suction and a wireless remote for delicate panels, step up to the GRABO Pro Brushless.

Smarter than the cousin who "used to play ball": And it shows up on time, too
Pro tip: Wipe the sealing surface and the tile face clean before every lift — a film of dust is the number-one reason a vacuum lifter won't hold. Don't attach to glass thinner than 6 mm, and swap in a fresh seal at the first sign of weak suction.
