GGR Group has added the Hydraulica 2600 Quad-Circuit Compact glass vacuum lifter to its hire fleet.

The heavy-duty machine is the highest capacity glass lifter available in the UK with 2600kg of lifting power. It also features the latest quad circuit vacuum technology for safety on site.

Keeping up with the architectural trend for large-format glazed units, as well as contractor demand for safer lifting solutions, the below-the-hook lifter allows for a quick and easy installation of larger and heavier glass units than previously available, while also maintaining the highest safety standards for lifting machinery.


GGR's newest lifter was recently used with a six-tonne capacity UNIC URW-706 mini spider crane on a glazing project in Blackfriars, London. Each of the seven metre tall panels weighed 2100kg and will form the building's reception area.

The Hydraulica 2600 is also the group's first quad-circuit machine, offering extra security when handling heavy loads. For example, if one of the machine's four independent vacuum circuits failed, then the remaining three could safely hold the load weight.

Graeme Riley, GGR Group's CEO, said: "We're offering our customers more vacuum lifting power than ever before with these larger-than-life machines, but without compromising our high standards for lifting safely on site.

"I'm proud to say that we're still leading the way with providing the widest range of lifters and the latest in lifting technology to the glazing industry."
