MTA8LP6FAC: #35095
SPECIFICATIONS
Model Number:
MTA8LP6FAC
Description:
Designed for use with a crane or other hoisting equipment, the MTA8LP6FAC lifter
employs vacuum to hold a load for lifting, and it provides mechanically assisted,
manual 90° tilt movements for load manipulation.
Power Source:
See serial number plate for specific AC voltage, frequency and amperage.
Vacuum Pads:
Eight 6" [15 cm] nominal diameter, low profile (Model LP6F), standard rubber, spring-
mounted (¼" [7 mm] travel), with #60 filter screen
Pad Spread:
Maximum
= 18¼" x 100½" [464 mm x 2556 mm]
(to outer edges)
Minimum
= 18¼" x 37½" [464 mm x 949 mm]
Load Capacity:
(rated at 16" Hg [-54 kPa] on clean, smooth, nonporous flat surfaces
1
)
Per-Pad
= 50 lbs [22.5 kg]
Maximum
= 360 lbs [165 kg]
Lifter Weight:
116 lbs [53 kg]
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
Vacuum Pump:
Rotary vane type, 2.5 SCFM [71 liters/minute] nominal airflow
Vacuum Reserve:
Vacuum reserve system 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.
Options:
Available
with Model CM3PE2 - 2" [5 cm] Pad Spacers. This option enables the lifter
to handle loads with surface obstructions, such as windows with mullions.
See separate instructions about other options.
Operating Elevation:
Maximum = 8000 feet [2438 meters]
Operating Temperatures: 32° to 104° F [0° to 40° 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
