Lifting Eye for Grabo Vacuum Lifter – Item No. 40183

Professional-grade lifting solution for tile setters and tradespeople – available from Karl Dahm

The Lifting Eye for Grabo Vacuum Lifters (Item No. 40183) is the ideal accessory for professionals who need to move heavy or large-format materials safely and efficiently – both horizontally and vertically. Compatible with the Grabo Plus and Grabo PRO, this lifting eye is quick to install, requires no tools, and offers a reliable and robust solution for lifting operations on site or in the workshop.

Tool-free assembly – maximum lifting precision

Supplied with four matching spring bolts and shims, this lifting accessory ensures rapid setup without the need for additional tools. Thanks to its well-engineered design, the lifting eye supports both vertical and horizontal lifting – something that traditional lifting loops or slings rarely offer.

Ideal for a wide range of professional applications

From laying large-format tiles to positioning natural stone slabs, glass panes, or metal panels, the lifting eye allows for precise, safe handling using the power of your Grabo. When paired with lifting equipment such as mini-excavators, forklifts, or gantry cranes, it becomes a powerful tool for streamlining handling workflows on site.
