MRTA8-AC: #35074

SPECIFICATIONS

Description:

Designed for use with a crane or other hoisting equipment, the MRTA8-AC lifters employ vacuum
to hold a load for lifting, and they provide manual 360° rotation and mechanically assisted, manual

90° tilt movements for load manipulation.

Model Number:

MRTA8HV11AC

MRTA811LAC

150 lbs [68.5 kg]

175 lbs [79.5 kg]

Maximum:

1200 lbs [545 kg]

1400 lbs [635 kg]

Power Source:

120 volts AC, 50/60 hertz, 5 amps

Tilt Capability:

Manual, 90°, with four-bar tilt linkage that minimizes operator effort and automatically holds a

correctly attached load in the upright or flat position.

Rotation Capability:

Manual, 360°, with automatic latching (when desired).

Vacuum Pump:

Rotary vane type, 4 SCFM [113 liters/minute] nominal airflow

or

Diaphragm type, 3 SCFM [85 liters/minute] nominal airflow

Vacuum Reserve Tank:

Vacuum reservoir helps prevent immediate vacuum loss in case of power failure.

Vacuum Gauge:

Dial gauge indicates current vacuum level in positive inches of Hg and negative kPa.

Vacuum Lift Light:

Green light is energized whenever vacuum level is sufficient for lifting maximum load weight (higher

than 16" [-54 kPa]).

Options:

Available with Model LB8TLO - Tilt Lock. When engaged, this option ensures that the upright or

flat orientation of the load is not compromised by accidental or unexpected forces. See separate

instructions about other options.

Operating Elevation:

Maximum = 10,000 feet [3048 meters]

Operating Temperatures: 32° to 100° F [0° to 38° C]
Service Life:

This lifter is designed to have a service life of at least 20,000 lifting cycles, when used and

maintained as intended. Vacuum pads, filter elements and other wear-out items are excluded; see
MAINTENANCE and REPLACEMENT PARTS LIST for more information. For the D
