Grabo Plus 220 – Electric Vacuum Tile Suction Cup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Grabo Plus 220<\/a> is the best-selling model in the Grabo range. Since it\u2019s launch, it\u2019s quickly become an essential tool for any professional to carry in their tool bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s designed to be used on almost any surface, and will lift up to a whopping 170kg of material at once. It\u2019s this lifting capacity that has made lifting items such as large format tiles easier, quicker, and safer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Grabo Plus 220 also features an analogue pressure gauge and features a unique seal, which helps secure itself to almost any coarse or smooth surface. It’s ideal for use on porcelain tiles and even rough paving slabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 14.8v battery provides a 90 minute continuous run time, while a full charge will take just 2 hours. The unit itself weighs just 1.6kg, making it practical and lightweight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grabo Pro 300 – Electric Vacuum Tile Suction Lifter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Grabo Pro 300<\/a> has been marketed as the \u201cnew and improved\u201d model of the Grabo Plus 220. It also features a maximum lift capacity of 170kg and is ideal for lifting thick porcelain and paving slabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main difference with this model is the automatic pressure maintaining function, and the smart digital pressure sensor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The automatic pressure maintaining function stops the pump from reaching the maximum of 11.6 Psi \u2013 as it\u2019s smart enough to know the amount of pressure needed based on the weight of the material being lifted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The smart digital pressure sensor on the handle detects and maintains the required pressure, and gives read outs in bars, Psi, lbs. and kgs, whereas the Grabo Plus 220 only gives readouts in bars and Psi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
