PowerGrip USB suction cup: maximum control for large-format tiles

Reading time: approx. 4 minutes

Lifting large-format tiles and glass panels is part of everyday work for professional tilers. As tile formats continue to increase and the pace on construction sites gets faster, the need for tools that allow you to work more efficiently and with greater control becomes increasingly important.

The Levelit PowerGrip USB suction cup is the most advanced vacuum suction cup in the Levelit range. Discover why this tool is particularly suitable for professional use on construction sites.

What makes an electric suction cup more efficient on the job site?

The PowerGrip USB electric vacuum suction cup works on the same principle as a manual vacuum suction cup: by removing air between the rubber pad and the surface, it creates a powerful gripping force.

The main difference is ease of use. With an electric model, there is no need to create the vacuum manually. An integrated pump does this automatically and maintains the vacuum level.

The benefits are immediately noticeable on the job site:

• Less manual pumping: even during intensive use.
• Automatic vacuum maintenance: the pump automatically compensates for small losses of vacuum.
• Time savings: the vacuum is created automatically, without manual pumping.

When lifting and positioning large-format tiles, a stable grip is essential. With a manual vacuum suction cup, you have to monitor the vacuum level yourself and pump when necessary. The PowerGrip USB suction cup maintains the vacuum level automatically. This gives you greater control when lifting and positioning large tiles.

Key features of the PowerGrip USB suction cup

Digital display with lifting capacity indication
The PowerGrip USB suction cup features a digital display showing the lifting capacity. This allows you to check the vacuum level in real time before lifting the load.

Visual safety indicator
The kg symbol on the display immediately shows the status of the suction cup: red means that the vacuum level is insufficient, while white indicates that the suction cup is ready for use. A simple, clear and immediate way to check the status.

Smart Air function
If the vacuum level drops below the set threshold, the system automatically activates and restores the vacuum level. The PowerGrip USB therefore helps maintain a consistent grip during use.

Smart Off function
After 2 minutes of inactivity, the suction cup switches off automatically to conserve battery power.

Quick release
After use, the suction cup can be released easily using the on/off button or the release tab.

Long battery life
The PowerGrip USB suction cup provides approximately 8 to 9 hours of battery life during intensive use. The supplied USB-C cable makes charging easy, both on the job site and in the van.

What applications is the PowerGrip USB suction cup ideal for?

The PowerGrip USB suction cup is particularly suitable for jobs that require large-format tiles, heavy tiles or glass panels to be lifted, moved and positioned accurately.

Thanks to its electric pump, there is no need to create the vacuum manually. The vacuum level is also maintained automatically during use.

You can use the PowerGrip USB for:

• Large-format floor and wall tiles: to lift, move and accurately position large ceramic tiles.
• Heavy tiles up to 150 kg: when you need additional grip to handle a tile in a controlled manner.
• Wall tiles: to lift large tiles more easily and position them accurately against the wall.
• Floor tiles: to lift and move large tiles in a controlled manner and position them correctly in the adhesive bed.
• Glass panels and sheets: to lift and move suitable smooth glass surfaces.
• Intensive use on the job site: when installing multiple tiles in succession and you want to avoid manually creating or restoring the vacuum each time.

The PowerGrip USB is particularly useful for tilers who regularly work with large-format and heavy tiles. The electric vacuum regulation eliminates manual pumping, while the digital display allows you to monitor the vacuum level during use.
