Wood's Powr-Grip FLEXR Series — 8-Pad Vacuum Lifter for Large Sheet Metal, Glass, and Flat Nonporous Panels (1,600 lbs / 725 kg)The Wood's Powr-Grip FLEXR Series is a versatile 8-pad vacuum lifter designed for lifting and moving large flat smooth, nonporous materials in manufacturing, fabrication, and industrial environments. Featuring eight 10" (25 cm) oil-resistant rubber vacuum pads that distribute lifting force across large panel surfaces, a maximum rated capacity of 1,600 lbs (725 kg), and an adjustable pad frame with a spread range of 22-1/4" x 58" to 52-1/2" x 111" (extendable to 52-1/2" x 157-3/4" with optional extended frame). Available in compressed air, AC electric, and DC battery power configurations. Optional telescoping pad frame and remote control system available. Made in Montana by Wood's Powr-Grip.The FLEXR Series is specifically designed for production and fabrication environments where large sheet metal panels, architectural glass, and other large flat smooth nonporous materials must be lifted, positioned, and moved repeatedly with improved control and reduced manual handling strain. The eight-pad configuration distributes the 1,600 lb rated load across eight 10" oil-resistant rubber pads at 200 lbs per pad, enabling secure attachment across large panel surfaces. The adjustable pad frame accommodates a wide range of panel sizes within the standard spread range, with the optional extended frame covering panels up to 157-3/4" in length.Key Features

Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: What materials can the FLEXR lift?A: The FLEXR Series is designed for large smooth, nonporous materials — primarily sheet metal and glass. Surface condition, material rigidity, and vacuum compatibility affect actual lifting performance. The oil-resistant rubber pads are specifically suited for sheet metal environments where oil contamination on the pad surface is a concern.Q: Why does the FLEXR use oil-resistant rubber pads instead of standard rubber?A: Oil-resistant rubber pads are specifically designed for sheet metal fabrication environments where metal panels may have residual cutting oil, lubricant, or surface treatment on the panel face. Standard rubber pads can degrade when exposed to oils; oil-resistant rubber maintains pad integrity and vacuum seal performance in these environments.Q: Can the FLEXR handle oversized panels beyond the standard frame range?A: Yes. An optional telescoping pad frame extends the maximum pad spread to 52-1/2" x 157-3/4", accommodating panels longer than the standard 111" maximum. Contact us for details on the optional extended frame and telescoping pad frame configurations.Q: Is a remote control system available?A: Yes. An optional remote control system is available for the FLEXR Series. Contact us for details.Q: Which model is in stock?A: The compressed air model (FLEXR8HV11AIR, SKU 97801) is the standard in-stock configuration. The AC electric (SKU 97802) and DC battery (SKU 97803) models are Special Order — contact us for lead times.Q: Is this product made to order?A: The Air model (SKU 97801) is available as a standard in-stock item. AC and DC models are made to order and all sales are final. Please confirm your power source requirements and panel size range before placing your order.
