Market Position/ History

UniMove Vacuum Lifters was founded in 1989 as a UniTech and built a new facility.

In 1990, the company manufactured the first UniMove with a patented valve that allows precise Up/Down control and automatic balance control.

In 2001, the company continued to develop solutions for unique lifting requirements.

In 2010, UniTech introduced a new Copolymer resin tube (RhinoTube) dramatically improving the life and performance of lift tube construction.

UniTech is sold to the new management group. The corporate name changed to UniMove and moved HQ to the new location.

Product Description

Single Tube Units CM450

Features

• Lift up to 90 lbs (non-porous) or 70 lbs (porous)
• Proudly Made in the USA
• Stainless Streel Construction
• Patented Automatic Balance Control
• USDA Approved and Washdown Ready
• Local Dealer Network

Description

• Lift Tube Assembly

The UniMove’s top swivel, control head, suction feet, and all internal metal components are standard in stainless steel. This allows for sustained performance, appearance, and years of reliable operation. The ball-bearing supported top swivel allows for 360° effortless rotation. The UniMove’s new RhinoTube is highly visible “safety yellow” which is most appropriate for moving equipment in the workplace.  The lift tube is a Copolymer resin extruded over hi-tensile steel reinforcing wire. The puncture-resistant tube provides up to 1 million flexes. It is highly resistant to all chemicals, making it excellent for ‘washdown’ areas, and has an operating range of -30° to +240°F.

• Lifting Controls

The UniMove’s patented progressive control valve design provides an effortless “in and out” stroke with fingertip control. The design enables a “neutral” wrist position at all levels of lift.  Competitive systems have a stroke which can require a severe rotation of the operator’s wrist at certain levels in order to reach the release position. This repetitive motion can cause wrist discomfort. The UniMove control handle is adjustable to allow for use with many size hands and has a PVC cushion.  The Teflon coated valve can’t stick, and each stroke of the control valve is self-wiping and self-cleaning.

• Automatic Balance Control

UniMove is the only vacuum lifter with ‘automatic balance control’. It allows the operator to immediately suspend/hover any weight at any level desired, in the total range of ‘Up/Down’ travel, simply by releasing the control handle at the desired level. Competitive units have an adjustment system that only allows a single weight to hang at one, predetermined level. If a different weight product is lifted, it will suspend at a different level, so adjustments have to be reset each time to reach a single desired level.

• Power Unit

UniMove offers Direct Drive power units for the CM450 and CM470 systems.  These self-enclosed power units deliver the highest vacuum and air flow levels in the industry.

• Capacity Rating

The UniMove CM450 has a capacity of 90 lbs (non-porous) and 70 lbs (porous).  Unimove’s superior, engineered design provides for the most efficient use of available airflow.

• Local Dealer Service

Local UniMove Dealers are responsible for start-up, operator training, and knowledgeable future service. This assures long-term satisfaction with its product and investment.  UniMove Dealers are experienced in servicing vacuum lifting systems, and the overhead crane systems needed to complement the UniMove.
