MT89AC: #35088
SPECIFICATIONS
Model Number:
MT89AC
Description:
Designed for use with a crane or other hoisting equipment, the MT89AC
lifter employs vacuum to hold a load for lifting, and it provides manual 90°
tilt movement for load manipulation.
Power Source:
See serial number plate for specific AC voltage, frequency and amperage.
Vacuum Pads:
Eight 9" [23 cm] nominal diameter (Model VPFS9), standard rubber, spring-
mounted (¼" [7 mm] travel), with #60 filter screen
Pad Spread:
49¼" x 99¼" [1248 mm x 2518 mm] to outer edges
Maximum Load Capacity: 1000 lbs [455 kg] based on Per-Pad Load Capacity of 125 lbs [57 kg],
rated at 16" Hg [-54 kPa] on clean, smooth, nonporous flat surfaces

Lifter Weight:
183 lbs [83 kg]
Tilt Capability:
Manual, 90°; Latch engages when pad frame is in vertical orientation.
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 Lights:
Green lights are energized whenever vacuum level is sufficient for lifting
maximum load weight (higher than 16" Hg [-54 kPa]).
Options:
See separate instructions about optional features.
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
