Countertop slabs crack when they flex, and the classic two-person carry flexes more than anyone wants to admit. The Panel Handler Counter Handler moves and places countertop material securely by turning the slab into a rigid unit: the system uses GRABO vacuum cups (not supplied) for holding force, and activating the cups forces the Counter Handler's metal frame against the material for maximum support. Because it holds the material all along its frame — not at a few suction points — you avoid the bending, flexing, and breaking that ruins expensive tops.
It ships as a complete heavy-duty frame: two 84" rails, three 23" aluminum bridges, and six quick pins. Add the original GRABO or GRABO PRO lifters (sold separately) to power it — note that the GRABO Pro Brushless is not compatible with the Panel Handler system at this time. Handling full-size floor or wall panels instead? Step up to the Porcelain Handler Lift System.
Pro tip: Space your GRABO lifters evenly across the three bridges for a balanced grip, and confirm each cup's seal on the LED or gauge before you lift — full-length support only works if every cup is holding.
