OTTOVAC lifting capacity
NOTICE: The OTTOVAC has been tested up to 200 kg (440 lbs) at maximum lifting force
under ideal test conditions. However, this test weight figure is the breaking point under
optimal laboratory test conditions and must never be reached in any real-world
application!
Local regulations may require different safety margins to be used and the official device
Working Load Limit (WLL) has been set to 100 kg (220 lbs) based on a 2:1 ratio and 66 kg
(145 lbs) on a 3:1 ratio for a non-porous surface. The Working Load Limit of 100 kg (220
lbs) is 50% of the maximum lifting force tested and 66 kg (145 lbs) is 33% of the maximum
lifting force tested under ideal conditions (200 kg/440 lbs) and this Working Load Limit
must be adhered to when working in countries where the 2:1 and 3:1 safety margin
applies. Use the chart below to estimate safe lifting values:
WLL: 2:1 ratio of 100 kg (220 lbs), 3:1 ratio of 66 kg (145
IMPORTANT: The lifting force is highly dependent on the lifted surface and factors such
as temperature, altitude (ambient pressure), and other factors.
Always check the pressure displayed on the OTTOVAC vacuum gauge and do not rely
solely on the estimated maximum lifting forces chart when lifting different materials,
since different factors relating to your specific application may reduce the lifting
capabilities of the device.
