Anver Corp., of Hudson, Mass., has announced that it now offers custom vacuum end-effectors that are designed to bolt onto outdoor mobile cranes and boom extensions for handling large panels at a job site.

Designed to hold 10- by 40-foot panels weighing up to 10,000 pounds, the end-effector systems can handle glass panels, large tile and concrete. The systems feature special foam vacuum pads and fully redundant vacuum systems, and are constructed with a 4:1 safety factor. Power source options for these end-effectors include the host equipment's hydraulic and electrical system or remote vacuum generators powered by electricity or compressed air.
