OKTOPUS® GL-RN 400/600/800

Overview

The OKTOPUS® GL-RN 400/600/800 is an ideal solution for handling glass panes and window elements, offering a remarkably low total weight of just 55 – 80 kg (depending on the specific equipment). This versatile device can manage loads up to a maximum of 800 kg.

For added flexibility, an optional suction pad adapter is available for curved panes. This feature allows for the handling of both convexly and concavely curved panes with bending radii of ≥1000 mm and a maximum weight of up to 320 kg.

To ensure optimal performance, the surfaces of the elements to be lifted must be air-impermeable, clean, and free from protective foil.

Versatile Glass Handling with Seven Configurations

The OKTOPUS® GL-RN 400/600/800 offers seven configurations to handle glass panes efficiently. By adding suction pads and extension arms, you can increase its Working Load Limit from 400 kg to 600 kg, and up to a maximum of 800 kg. This adaptability makes it ideal for various glass handling tasks.

Adaptable Handling for Curved Glass Panes

The OKTOPUS® GL-RN 400/600/800 is designed for the adaptable handling of curved glass panes. Equipped with a specially designed adapter, it can manage both convexly and concavely curved glass panes with a radius of at least 1.0 meter, as well as flat glass elements. With 14 suction pads, this device ensures safe lifting and transporting of loads up to 320 kg. The total weight of the OKTOPUS® GLASS-Jack GL-RN 400/600/800 with the curved glass adapter is 75 kg.

Superior Handling with Counterweight Balancer

Enhance your glass installation projects with the OKTOPUS® GL-RN 400/600/800 vacuum lifters combined with a counterweight balancer. This combination ensures safe and ergonomic installation of glass or window elements in challenging areas such as under canopies, balconies, and eaves.

The vacuum lifter can be directly connected to the counterweight balancer using an interchangeable adapter or mounted to the balancer’s load hook, preserving its rotating and tilting functions. To ensure safety, the release function of the vacuum lifter is electrically coupled to the position of the balancer’s traveling cage, maintaining a neutral, balanced position after releasing the load.

For added convenience, the OKTOPUS® GL-RN 400/600/800 vacuum lifters can be equipped with a function that controls the traveling cage of the counterweight balancer, providing seamless and efficient operation.

Adaptable Crane Arm Options

The OKTOPUS® GL-RN 400/600/800 vacuum lifters come standard with a short crane arm featuring a rigid crane eye. For enhanced adaptability, there are additional crane arm options available:

1. Height-Adjustable Crane Arm: This arm includes a crane eye that can be adjusted in inclination, allowing for greater positioning flexibility.

2. Hydraulic Lowering Cylinder: This crane arm is equipped with a hydraulically supported lowering cylinder and a stop valve, providing precise control during installation.

These options ensure that the OKTOPUS® GL-RN 400/600/800 can meet a wide range of project requirements, making it an adaptable choice for various glass and façade installation tasks.
