Special lifter for door leaves with 180° tipping
The UniWood UWL 5 is a special lifting device with a slim base body for vertical and horizontal transport of door leaves. The 180° tipping mechanism allows rotation of door leaves in both directions.
The Barbaric UWL-5 is the heavy-duty vacuum lifter for industrial panel handling and large doors. It handles oversized panels, pressed solid wood worktops, heavy entrance doors or industrial gates where smaller vacuum lifters such as UWL-1 or UWL-3 reach their load limit. The reinforced frame construction, multiple parallel-working suction plates and a powerful vacuum pump with buffer reservoir deliver load capacities well beyond entry and standard models. Typical applications are door plants, packaging furniture manufacturers, kitchen builders with large-format panels and panel traders with XXL formats. Thanks to a redundant safety concept, the load remains securely held even in case of partial failure of a suction circuit. Asamer plans, supplies and services the UWL-5 as authorized Barbaric dealer in CZ, SK and HU — including structural verification of the supporting crane and DGUV safety acceptance.
Heavy entrance doors, fire protection or security doors quickly reach several hundred kilograms. The UWL-5 picks up these doors safely and positions them on the assembly line or in the dispatch buffer with millimetre precision — without additional helpers, without slipping risk and without damage to surface or fittings.
Large-format panels, pressed solid wood worktops or industrial sandwich elements with steel or aluminium face layers can easily weigh several hundred kilograms per panel. The UWL-5 reliably handles such formats and prevents crush injuries that regularly occur in manual handling.
The UWL-5 is the right choice when your loads exceed the capacity of UWL-3 or UWL-3J — typical for door plants, XXL panel trade or heavy industrial semi-finished products. For medium loads in classic furniture construction, the UWL-3 or the faster UWL-3J variant is sufficient. For very thin or porous materials in this weight class, Asamer combines the UWL-5 with UWL-3S suction technology. We verify your crane statics before delivery and adapt the suction plate arrangement to your specific panel formats.
The UWL-5 covers loads significantly above the standard class of the UWL-3 and is designed for heavy doors and industrial panels. Exact load capacity depends on suction area and panel surface. Asamer prepares the configuration based on your specific panel types.
Typically yes — the UWL-5 together with its load weighs significantly more than a UWL-3. Asamer verifies the load capacity of your existing slewing crane or rail system and, if necessary, provides a stronger structure together with Barbaric.
The UWL-5 works with multiple independent suction circuits — if one fails, the others take over the load with sufficient safety reserve. The actual number depends on panel format and load class; Asamer designs the configuration per project.
