Key advantages
safe transport of stone elements
during transport or installation, all edges of the stone remain free
fast suction — approx. 1 second
hydraulic 90° tilt
ability to work in tight spaces
no need to interfere with the material
reduced risk of damage
real increase in team efficiency.
What makes OCTOPOD 800 stand out in stone work?
Hydraulic 90° Tilt
OCTOPOD 800 is equipped with a hydraulic actuator that enables controlled tilting of stone slabs by 90° - for example, from a vertical to a horizontal position. This is a key feature:- when arranging slabs on a production table from a vertical to a horizontal position,
- when preparing elements for transport,
Hydraulic Tilting Arm
OCTOPOD 800 is equipped with a hydraulic tilting arm that allows controlled tilting of the element to an exact vertical position. 90° This is a key feature:- when arranging stone slabs on a facade or wherever achieving an exact vertical position of a natural stone element is required.
Fast and Gentle Stone Lifting
The OCTOPOD 800 vacuum suction cups enable:- gripping smooth, non-porous surfaces such as granite, polished stone, marble, natural quartzite, travertine, marl, quartz conglomerate, large-format porcelain / sintered stone slabs, and thin-veneer stone.
- working with elements that have a delicate structure - a gasket compensates for unevenness of up to 5 mm.
- gripping the element in approximately 1 second.
Work Without Lifting Points
OCTOPOD 800 allows transporting stone elements:- without transport handles,
- without drilling,
- without using straps (during production and in the warehouse).
- without using stone clamps, thanks to which all edges remain free.
