Clad Boy System

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

On this project, they have used the ‘Clad boy’ system which allowed them to install larger panels and reduce any manual handling for operatives. This is a versatile vacuum lifter designed for efficient material handling across various industries

This device uses adjustable suction pads and ergonomic controls to securely lift and move heavy or awkward loads, such as cladding and metal sheets.

This not only sped up the process of installation but also assisted the workforce from manually handling these heavy panels and removed the potential for operatives to suffer from any musculoskeletal disorders.
