Grabo High Flow Makes Lifting Heavy Objects Easier on the Job
Grabo has made a name for itself in the vacuum-lifting world in recent years. In 2024, the brand teamed up with DeWalt to introduce its lifting technology to the 20V Max battery platform. Now, Grabo is going solo with the High Flow vacuum lifter, and it claims better performance on a variety of materials. I’m looking into what the Grabo High Flow does differently, and how it can increase safety and productivity on the jobsite.
Grabo High Flow Overview
- Model: SN20000
- Power source: 18V battery (2 included)
- Vacuum flow rate: 1.5 cubic meters per minute
- Pistol-grip design
- Lifting capacity: 282 lbs.
Grabo specializes in vacuum-lifting products, having several in its lineup, including the Pro-Lifter 20, the Nemo Grabo, and the Ottovac. The High Flow is the brand’s most advanced lifting tool to date, with more power and improved vacuum technology compared to previous iterations.
Vacuum lifting technology can be a challenge to use effectively on certain materials, especially those that are porous, like dry cast pavers and patio bricks. Where the High Flow stands out from the rest of Grabo’s lineup is its Smart Cut foam seal design that “grabs” porous objects more effectively, ensuring a firm vacuum connection.
This performance improvement on porous and textured materials is thanks to a redesigned bottom face plate. This removable feature allows you to lock in different sizes of gaskets with the High Flow’s open-cell foam, letting it grip materials of various shapes and sizes.
The High Flow has a vacuum flow rate of up to 1500 liters per minute, a significant jump from the 20 L/m seen in the Pro-Lifter 20 model. With the faceplate attached, it can also lift objects up to 282 pounds in weight.
Grabo High Flow Design
Grabo made a few changes to the design of the High Flow vacuum lifter compared to previous models. For starters, it features a new pistol-grip handle, which makes lifting and installing heavy materials more comfortable than previous designs.
Grabo also designed the High Flow to be used with the included T-handle frame, which allows for easier vertical lifting. The T-handle includes a wired remote that controls the vacuum sealing mechanism on the High Flow. When you’re done moving your object, the red button on the remote releases the seal.
Grabo High Flow Price
The Grabo High Flow retails for $599.99 as a kit, including two 20V 5.0Ah Grabo High Flow batteries, a charger, a T-Bar handle attachment, and several other attachments. At the time of writing, it’s not yet available at any online retailers, but you can purchase it directly from Grabo. Your purchase is backed by a 1-year warranty, or 18 months when you register your product.
