In modern pipeline construction, efficiency and safety are no longer negotiable. Everyone in the pipeline industry already knows that upgrading from manual slings to advanced vacuum lifting technology completely transforms project timelines. It removes personnel from the dangerous load drop zone, drastically reduces insurance risks, and accelerates stringing cycles.
You do not need to be convinced that it works. But you do need an answer to a straightforward question: why pay a premium markup for the same exact result?
Enter the Coris VL 16. Engineered in Italy, this heavy-duty vacuum attachment system does the same job as the leading brands. No worse. No better. Just at a highly competitive price that makes perfect sense for your fleet’s budget.
One Operator, 10x the Speed: How Does a Vacuum Lift Work?
If your teams are still stringing pipes manually or struggling with heavy spreader beams, you are losing time and money. The Coris VL 16 turns pipe handling into an efficient, one-person operation managed safely by the cabin operator.
But how does a vacuum lift work in the field?
- The Approach: The operator positions the attachment over the pipe using a wireless remote control from the comfort of the cabin.
- The Seal: An integrated German BUSCH Mink vacuum pump instantly seals the interchangeable suction pad onto the pipe surface.
- The Lift: It lifts multi-ton loads in seconds without scratching or damaging the delicate pipe coating.
- The Release: Once positioned, the operator releases the vacuum pressure instantly via the same remote control.
No ground crews. No slings. Just pure, uninterrupted workflow.
Premium Component Architecture Without the Premium Cost
When evaluating vacuum lift cost, you should look at the quality of the internal components. The CoRis VL 16 is built using world-class, field-proven architecture:
- Autonomous Powertrain: Powered by an ultra-reliable, onboard Lombardini 15LD440 diesel engine. Combined with a 22-liter fuel tank, it is built for long, continuous shifts in remote locations.
- The Vacuum System: The heavy-duty BUSCH Mink MM 1142 BV pump pulls a 140 m³/h nominal flow rate, maintaining an ultimate holding pressure of 60 hPa (mbar) for an instantaneous lock.
- Massive Capacity & Versatility: It boasts a lifting capacity of up to 17,900 kg. With a versatile, interchangeable pad system, a single unit handles everything from 4” utility piping up to heavy-duty 56–60″ mainline pipeline projects.
Universal Fleet Compatibility: From Cranes to Excavators
Whether you are managing gas, oil, or water infrastructure projects, the CoRis VL 16 easily integrates with your existing machinery fleet. It is optimized to work as a:
- Pipe Lifter for forklift setups
- Vacuum lifter excavator attachment for fast-paced stringing
- Vacuum lifter crane attachment for heavy terminal logistics
- Dedicated vacuum lift pipeline solution for sidebooms
No matter your setup, this vacuum pipe lifter delivers ultimate flexibility across diverse job sites.
HSE-Compliant Safety You Can Trust
Lowering your vacuum lift cost doesn’t mean compromising on safety. The Coris VL 16 features integrated pressure-differential safety systems. These fail-safe mechanisms guarantee zero loss of the vacuum lifting pipe, keeping the load securely attached even during unexpected engine disruptions.
