Frequently Asked Questions about Products

Yes. Onchtech advises counting the glass vacuum lifter, glass, and connecting rigging in the total lifting load. The total must not exceed the rated capacity for the actual working radius, boom length, and outrigger setup. Check the crane’s load chart and manual; 1.2 tons is not the capacity in every configuration.
