Aerolift designs custom made precast concrete lifting solutions for many situations. During production, storage, internal transport, storage, transhipment, and construction. Precast concrete elements are ideally suited for lifting by vacuum technology. Vacuum lifting technology offers unique benefits compared to other concrete lifting methods. Demoulding of concrete without damage Thanks to the unique properties of vacuum handling, it is possible to demould, lift and turn precast concrete products all in one operation. Moreover, no embedded hoist facilities are required, and the surface is not deformed in any way. The load remains fully intact, without disassembling or destroying the mould. Also, due to the divided surface pressure of a suction pad the curing time of the precast concrete before demoulding is considerably shortened. Instead of at least 24 hours, demoulding is possible after 8 till 10 hours! After removing the concrete product from the mould

Handling tunnel segments by vacuum technology. Aerolift designs customised lifting solutions for the complete handling process of precast tunnel segments. The lifting solutions are used during production, transhipment and in the tunnel boring machine (TBM). The unique features of vacuum handling are highly suitable to handle concrete products, such as tunnel segments. Why choose vacuum handling Specially for concrete products, vacuum offers many interesting advantages compared to other lifting methods: Demoulding after 8 to 10 hours Demoulding, lifting, and turning by one lifting device Efficient during handling and the use of storage space No damage or deformation to the tunnel segment Less chance of cracks in the concrete Easy and fast handling Reuse of the same mould Reduced chance of accidents, because no one has to be near the load before, during or after handling Very safe due to the high safety standards of vacuum handling Handling tunnel segments during production

Accelerate the hardening process of your concrete product Would you like to increase your productivity? Use a low-pressure steam generator! Under normal conditions the final hardening level is reached after 28 days. By the aid of a low-pressure steam generator we accelerate the hardening process without quality loss of the concrete. The concrete product is already hardened enough to be demoulded after 12 hours. It is no rocket science to see that this machine can increase your production output tremendously! The low-pressure steam generator is used for heating, curing, hardening, defrosting, cleaning and disinfecting.

Three identical vacuum lifting devices to lift and transport precast concrete piles at the outside storage facility in the United Kingdom. The Aerolift vacuum lifters ensure fast, efficient, and safe handling. Expected time saving of 70%!
