Lifting your expectations
Insulated Metal Panels (IMP’s) are an increasingly popular building material. But handling them can be unruly when using traditional methods like slings, hooks, and bolts.
With the power of vacuum, suction cup lifters make short work of installation – without damaging or marring panels.
The Best Way to Lift and Install IMP’s
Traditionally, wall panels were drilled, bolted to a bar, and then hoisted into place. Once a panel was installed, the bar would be removed and the holes filled and repaired.
For the roof, slings were used to move and install panels in place. These slings warped and bent the edges of the panels.
The edges then had to be bent by hand back into shape so that they could attach to each other.
Issues like these have begun to rapidly move the industry to adopt vacuum lifters.
IMP Handling has a variety of lifters available for your construction and installation needs.

Testimonials
Brooks Reierson
“Flipping these 500 pound panels would be a four-man job, and with the Cladding Lifter it was a two-man job.”
Forest Fox
“We were whipping them out at four minutes a panel.”
Ryan Faulkner
“We usually have to sling them, and they usually bend the sheet when they do it the old way. With the suction cups, we can just set them right where they need to be and it’s so much faster.”
Brooks Reierson
“Being able to cut the crews down, because of the ease of installation, I think that the Wood’s Powr-Grip [lifter] would have paid for itself in one job. Easy.”
