CVP130

🧱 PV130 Self-Propelled Crawler Vacuum Handler with Fork-Lift Capability

The PV130 is a self-propelled, crawler-mounted vacuum handling machine designed for the transport and installation of curbs, precast concrete elements, natural stone slabs, and other heavy block materials. It integrates pallet transport, crawler mobility, a hydraulic boom, and vacuum lifting capabilities into a single unit. It can transport a full pallet of materials across the job site and, upon reaching the installation area, use its vacuum suction cup to lift, transfer, position, and install individual components—thereby eliminating the need for repetitive coordination between forklifts, cranes, and manual labor.

🎯 Handles Material Transport, Lifting, and Installation in One Go

Traditional curb or stone installation often requires a forklift to transport materials, followed by separate lifting equipment or manual labor for final positioning. The PV130 features a pallet carrier capable of holding up to 1,600 kg of material and can travel autonomously with the load. Once at the work site, it uses its boom and vacuum suction cup to install components one by one. This makes it ideal for continuous installation workflows and projects—such as municipal, road, and landscaping works—that require frequent material relocation.

💪 Standard 130 kg Lifting Capacity; 240 kg Version Available

The standard vacuum lifting capacity is 130 kg, suitable for a wide range of standard curbs, natural stone slabs, concrete panels, and precast blocks; a 240 kg capacity version is available for heavier components. Actual lifting capacity depends on factors such as the component's surface flatness and density, suction cup size, vacuum seal integrity, and center of gravity; a test lift should be performed prior to actual operation.

🦾 3.0-Meter Hydraulic Boom Extends Installation Reach

The boom measures approximately 3.0 meters in length and is controlled via a hydraulic system that ensures balance and precision. Once the machine is stabilized, it can lift components from the pallet and move them to curbs, trenches, paved surfaces, or specific installation points. Compared to manual lifting, the hydraulic boom significantly reduces physical strain and offers greater control during the component positioning process.

📦 1,600 kg pallet load capacity for continuous installation

The pallet carrier supports loads of up to 1,600 kg and accommodates pallets up to 1,320 mm wide. It allows multiple curbs or precast elements to be transported into the work zone in a single trip, minimizing the need for the equipment to shuttle back and forth to the material stockpile. When loading the pallet, ensure the center of gravity remains stable, the weight is evenly distributed, and the equipment's rated load capacity is not exceeded.

🚜 Rubber tracks suitable for construction sites and rough terrain

Equipped with a rubber track undercarriage, the machine offers excellent traction on gravel, compacted soil, uncured road surfaces, and generally uneven terrain. Compared to steel tracks, rubber tracks are gentler on finished paving and concrete surfaces, making the unit ideal for maneuvering within municipal road projects, landscaped parks, residential developments, and active construction sites.

🧩 Foldable boom for space-constrained sites

The boom can be folded away, resulting in a more compact footprint when the machine is not in use. Its smaller profile facilitates maneuvering, transport, and storage—particularly in areas such as sidewalks, road edges, residential zones, garden paths, and enclosed construction sites. The boom can be quickly folded by a single operator, reducing setup and teardown times.

🔄 Quick-change vacuum suction system for various components

The PV130 features a quick-change vacuum suction system, allowing the suction pad to be swapped based on the specific workpiece. Curbs, natural stone slabs, precast concrete elements, and other block materials vary in size, surface texture, and center of gravity; using the appropriate suction pad ensures stable handling. Suction pads can also be customized to match the shape and dimensions of specific components.

🧱 Curb installation: A primary application for the PV130

Road, municipal, and landscaping projects often involve large numbers of heavy curbs that require continuous installation. The PV130 can transport a full pallet of curbs into the work zone and then lift and position them one by one, significantly reducing the need for manual lifting and repetitive machinery movement.

This "carry-and-lay" construction method—where materials are transported on the vehicle itself—offers distinct advantages for long-distance, continuous paving projects.

🏗️ Handling and Installation of Precast Concrete Components

The equipment is suitable for handling concrete slabs, precast blocks, small trench components, and other regular precast units. When component surfaces are suitable for vacuum suction, this method eliminates the need for the repetitive rigging required by traditional wire-rope lifting; this boosts efficiency in loading, unloading, and positioning while preventing edge damage caused by sling compression.

🪨 Paving with Natural Stone Slabs and Landscape Stone

Natural stone is typically heavy and requires careful surface protection. When equipped with the appropriate suction pads, the PV130 can handle and position natural stone slabs, granite pavers, and landscape stones. For stones with rough, porous, or irregular surfaces, a vacuum seal test should be performed to ensure stable adhesion before actual lifting begins.

💧 Installation of Drainage Channels and Trench Components

Precast drainage channels, trench covers, and related concrete components are often installed continuously along roadways, demanding high precision in positioning and a steady construction pace. The PV130 can transport materials along the trench line and install components one by one using its lifting boom, thereby reducing the need for frequent repositioning of large lifting machinery.

🧱 Construction of Retaining Wall Blocks and Landscape Walls

Retaining wall blocks, landscape wall components, and large masonry units can also be handled via vacuum lifting, depending on their individual weight and surface characteristics. The hydraulic boom facilitates precise component positioning and reduces the physical strain of manual handling; this is particularly beneficial for installation tasks requiring repeated adjustments and alignment of joints.

👷 Single-Operator Capability Reduces Labor Dependency

One of the equipment's design goals is to minimize reliance on multiple manual handlers for paving operations. When dealing with regular components—and provided that materials are organized, access paths are clear, and the site is well-managed—a single operator can execute the entire workflow, including moving the equipment, engaging suction, lifting, and positioning.

However, for operations on slopes, in complex traffic environments, or involving heavy components, auxiliary personnel should still be assigned in accordance with on-site safety requirements.

⚡ Air-cooled version: Suitable for standard municipal and paving projects

The air-cooled version is equipped with a Hatz silent diesel engine (13 HP / 9.6 kW) featuring electric start and an hour meter. Its transport dimensions are approximately 2230 × 1850 × 2100 mm, with an operating weight of about 1400 kg. With its relatively compact design, this version is ideal for standard curb installation, municipal works, and landscape paving projects.

💧 Water-cooled version: Offers greater power reserve

The water-cooled version features a Yanmar three-cylinder water-cooled engine (20 HP / 14 kW) equipped with a tachometer and fuel gauge. Its transport dimensions are approximately 2300 × 1900 × 2100 mm, with an operating weight of about 1600 kg. This configuration is the preferred choice for projects requiring extended operating times or a higher power reserve.

🚚 Compact size: Easy truck transport and site-to-site transfer

The PV130 features a compact overall design, allowing for easy transport between job sites using suitable small or medium-sized vehicles. For municipal contractors, road construction crews, and landscaping teams—who often need to move equipment frequently between multiple projects—ease of transport and minimal on-site storage requirements are crucial factors.

⚠️ Verify surface condition before vacuum lifting

Vacuum suction relies on a reliable seal to generate holding force. Before lifting, clean the suction area to remove mud, dust, and standing water, and ensure the workpiece surface is free of severe cracks, loose layers, or significant damage. For porous concrete, rough natural stone, or irregular components, perform a test lift to confirm vacuum stability before proceeding with actual handling.

🛡️ Precautions for Carrying Pallets and Vacuum Lifting Operations

When transporting a pallet, ensure the material is securely fastened and the center of gravity is controlled; reduce speed when traversing slopes or soft ground. Personnel must not stand beneath suspended loads during lifting operations. After replacing suction cups, inspect the connections, seals, and vacuum system status. Do not attempt to lift any component that exceeds the rated capacity of the current vacuum lifting configuration.
