Recently, Mihai Popescu, the project director of a professional facade engineering firm based in Bucharest, Romania, officially put the XC-S1200 vacuum glass lifter, purchased from CATHAYLIFT, into full operation on his urban high-rise construction site. Designed with a rated load capacity of 1200kg, this heavy-duty vacuum lifting machine is engineered for safe transportation and installation of oversized Low-E energy-saving curtain wall glass, natural stone slabs and aluminum decorative panels. After one month of continuous on-site trials under real construction conditions, Mihai shared genuine, positive feedback on the equipment's performance, stating that this Chinese-manufactured vacuum lifter has solved long-standing local industry pain points including inefficient large facade hoisting, persistent safety risks and excessive labor expenditure.
Before introducing the XC-S1200 vacuum suction cups, Mihai's construction team relied on outdated manual hoisting tools and basic suction devices to install building glass. Large-size glass panels required at least six skilled workers to cooperate for lifting and positioning. The old equipment lacked stable pressure monitoring systems, leading to frequent slipping incidents during high-altitude operations. In addition, fragile glass surfaces were often scratched or cracked during handling, generating substantial material loss costs and construction delays. After researching international lifting equipment brands and comparing technical parameters, safety certifications and after-sales service, Mihai decided to cooperate with CATHAY and place an order for the XC-S1200 vacuum suction cup.
During the one-month field test, the XC-S1200 vacuum suction cups delivered outstanding performance that exceeded Mihai's initial expectations. The four adjustable suction cups provide uniform adsorption force on glass surfaces, fully avoiding scratches and breakage. Real-time digital vacuum pressure alarms automatically trigger warnings once air pressure drops to a dangerous level, eliminating high-altitude falling hazards. The flexible rotating mechanical arm enables 360-degree horizontal rotation and vertical tilting adjustment, allowing a single operator to precisely align glass panels to installation frames. Mihai said, "We only need two workers to complete the entire glass lifting and mounting process now. Our daily installation output has increased by nearly 70%, while glass damage rates have dropped to zero. The CE-certified safety structure and long-lasting rechargeable battery perfectly adapt to our all-day outdoor construction work."
Mihai also highlighted the thoughtful supporting services provided by CATHAY. Complete English operation manuals, remote online technical guidance and a two-year global warranty system greatly reduced his worries about overseas equipment maintenance. He added that he plans to purchase additional vacuum lifting equipment for his company's new large commercial building projects in the coming year, and will actively recommend Cathay's reliable lifting machinery to local construction industry partners across Romania.
This successful cooperation between the Romanian facade contractor and Cathay Machinery further demonstrates the global recognition of Chinese high-quality construction machinery. The XC-S1200 vacuum glass suction cup continues to bring efficient, safe and cost-effective construction solutions to overseas engineering enterprises.
