CATHAYLIFT, the professional manufacturer of aerial work and material‑handling equipment, has recently completed delivery of the XC‑S1200 1200 kg load vacuum suction cup lifter to Andrei Popescu, a well‑established construction contractor based in Bucharest, Romania. After equipment arrival and site commissioning, the customer shared genuine operating feedback, marking another successful case for CATHAYLIFT vacuum lifting solutions within Eastern Europe's building market.
Andrei Popescu's company specializes in commercial building facade and glass curtain‑wall installation across Romania. As more large‑scale commercial complexes are under construction in Bucharest, his team faced tough challenges in handling heavy glass panels, stone slabs and metal sheets. Traditional manual handling required multiple workers to cooperate on‑site. It brought high risks of glass cracking, surface damage and workplace injury. Local European‑branded vacuum lifters came with extremely high purchase costs, putting heavy pressure on the project budget. After comparing technical specifications, safety configurations and real‑world project references from multiple suppliers, Andrei finally placed his order for the CATHAYLIFT XC‑S1200 vacuum suction cups.
The XC‑S1200 vacuum suction cup features a rated lifting capacity of 1200 kg, equipped with 12 durable 300 mm suction cups. Powered by a 12V rechargeable battery, it works without external power supply on construction sites. It supports continuous 360° manual rotation and 90‑degree tilting with auto‑lock function. Extension bars can be assembled or removed flexibly to fit panels of different sizes. Its built‑in energy‑storage pressure‑maintaining vacuum system, together with low‑vacuum and power‑failure alarm devices, delivers critical safety guarantees for high‑altitude outdoor curtain‑wall installation. Even under accidental power loss, the large vacuum accumulator offers extended emergency response time for site operators.
Upon arrival at the Romanian job‑site, Andrei's team quickly assembled and tested the unit. In his feedback to CATHAYLIFT, Andrei mentioned: "We have run multiple lifting tests on thick tempered glass and stone panels. The suction holds stable even in windy outdoor conditions. The wired remote control is simple for our workers to learn. We can rotate and tilt heavy panels precisely for facade fitting. It cuts our labour demand greatly and avoids frequent glass break‑offs we suffered before." He also praised the digital displays for air pressure and battery level, which help operators monitor machine status in real‑time during busy installation shifts.
This vacuum lifter will be deployed for several ongoing commercial facade projects around Bucharest. Apart from glass, it can handle steel plates, aluminium sheets and plastic boards, bringing flexible value for different site tasks.
"We are glad our vacuum lifting equipment meets the real‑world demands of Romanian glazing contractors," said the CATHAYLIFT sales team. "We will keep providing responsive after‑sales support for Andrei's projects. Moving forward, we aim to bring cost‑effective, safe material‑handling solutions to more partners across Europe."
