Capacity depends on reach.
This is the part worth understanding before you book anything.
Capacity is 1,320 lb with the arm in and 330 lb at full extension. Every vacuum lifter loses capacity as the arm goes out, and this is the number that decides most real jobs. Tell us the weight of your heaviest piece and how far it has to travel and we will confirm the fit before you book.

What it is good at.
Four jobs this machine does better than anything else we could send.
Most stone and glass sets
Granite, quartz, porcelain, and architectural glass at the sizes that come up daily on Florida jobs.
Getting into a house
32.7 in through the door is the number that makes indoor residential work possible at all.
Backyards and rough slab
Outdoor series on wide off-road tires, plus a ramp for the curb.
Repeat installs
Memory positions mean the second, third, and tenth panel go in the same place as the first.
When it is the wrong machine.
We would rather tell you now than send a truck for nothing.
- A long reach with a heavy piece330 lb at full extension is the limit. If your weight and your distance both run high, you want the 1009.
- RooftopsThis is not a crane. If the roof sits above reach height we will say so rather than take the booking.
- A pad that will not sealPerforated, heavily textured, or porous faces may not hold a vacuum. Send a photo and we will check first.

SL609 HLE RT questions.
The five that come up on nearly every call.
How much can the SL609 actually lift?
1,320 lb with the arm in, and 330 lb at full extension. The second number is the one that matters on a real job.
Will it fit through my door?
It drives through at 32.7 in, so a standard 36 inch doorway clears. It needs 5 ft 8 in with the legs down to work, so measure the room as well as the door.
How long does the battery last?
Up to ten hours, which is a full working day. It charges off a standard 110V outlet overnight.
What comes with it?
A ramp, a walkthrough with your crew on drop-off, phone support for the whole rental, and pickup at the end. None of those are add-ons.
Can I get attachments?
Fork, and hook and grapple. Most jobs need neither. Ask when you quote and we will tell you straight.
The other machine.
Two units on the yard. If you are not sure which one your job needs, send us the weight of your heaviest piece.
Got a heavy set on the calendar?
Tell us the weight and the zip. You’ll have an itemized quote back within two hours.
