When working on the job, it's great to have a Wood's Powr-Grip hand-held vacuum cup: the red-line indicator warns of vacuum loss for added safety and peace of mind.
But what if the red-line indicator is too far away to see? Or otherwise out of sight?
Wood's Powr-Grip Engineers took aim and targeted the issue. After hundreds of hours of thoughtful design and testing they developed the Low Vacuum Audio Alarm Plunger.
This plunger emits a warning tone when vacuum levels begin to drop below acceptable levels. The familiar red-line indicator is still present, but now a 70 dBa audio alarm alerts the user and others nearby as well.
Powered by one AAA battery, the the alarm is compatible with many different models of Wood's Powr-Grip hand-held vacuum cups. Operation is as simple as that of a standard hand cup. The intelligent system automatically turns the alarm on and off as necessary, so no user intervention is required.
The LVAA plunger assembly is now available on most Powr-Grip N-Series vacuum cups, as well as the LJ6VH Vertical Handle. Current owners can also retrofit their existing WPG hand cups (including the ABS cups) with the new LVAA plunger.
Besides bringing added safety to handling loads by hand, vacuum cups equipped with the LVAA plunger are well suited for use with Wood's Hand Cup Frames, the Ace Dolly and the CR Laurence All-Terrain Dolly.
