Veribor (602.4) Double Suction Cup, Metal

Bohle Veribor®  |  OGS Model BO 602.4  |  Bohle No. BO602.421

Professional Aluminium Two-Pad Suction Lifter for Flat, Airtight Surfaces

The Bohle Veribor® 602.4 double suction cup is a German-made, lever-activated hand lifter with a lead-free aluminium body and two 120 mm rubber pads. Rated by Bohle for up to 60 kg in parallel transport under specified conditions, it is designed for controlled lifting, carrying and positioning of clean, flat and gas-tight materials. Its large suction heads and wide toggle-lever contact surfaces provide a practical, ergonomic handling solution for professional glazing and material-handling work.

Durable Aluminium Construction with Efficient Lever Control

Bohle designed the 602.4 so its large suction heads distribute vacuum pressure across the holding area of each rubber pad. Each pad is controlled by an independent toggle lever. The broad lever surfaces support efficient force transmission when engaged with the thumb or heel of the hand, while large washers provide added stability at the rocker arms.

• Lead-free aluminium body: Durable metal construction for regular professional use.
• PAH-free rubber pads: Bohle identifies the pad material as free from PAH compounds.
• Independent lever activation: Vacuum is created and released without a hand pump, battery or external power source.
• Made in Germany: Manufactured by Bohle as part of its Veribor® professional suction-lifter range.

Technical Specifications

Basic Operating Sequence

1. Inspect and prepare: Confirm that the lifter, levers and both pads are clean, dry, undamaged and fully functional. Clean the load surface so it is free of dust, oil and grease.
2. Attach: Press the lifter firmly against the surface with both pads relaxed and lying flat, then engage both levers. Clear resistance should be felt as vacuum is created.
3. Test and handle: Perform a controlled test lift whenever suitability is uncertain. Keep the load within the rated capacity and stated transport direction, and monitor the attachment throughout handling.
4. Set down and release: Fully secure the load before opening the levers. If a new pad remains attached, gently lift its edge with a finger to admit air; never use a sharp or pointed tool.

Important Safety & Capacity Information

Bohle's stated 60 kg load capacity applies to a new suction lifter on clean, dry and flat glass at 20°C and 1013 mbar after the maximum possible vacuum has been generated. Altitude, temperature, moisture, contamination, pad wear or damage, wind, side loading and materials other than flat glass can reduce holding force.

• Manual use only: Never connect this hand tool to a crane, forklift or other lifting equipment.
• Never lift over people or use the lifter as a support or attachment point for a person.
• Do not lift cracked or chipped glass. Secure every load against falling, tipping or slipping.
• Short-duration handling only: If vacuum or holding force decreases, set the load down immediately and reattach the lifter.
• Use appropriate PPE, including safety footwear, robust protective gloves and suitable close-fitting work clothing.

Bohle states that its permissible load ratings are based on half of the maximum load achieved in regular testing, providing a stated safety factor of 2.0. This does not permit the rated 60 kg capacity to be exceeded.

Care, Storage & Replacement Parts

• Keep the lifter and rubber pads clean and free from oil, grease, dust and other contamination.
• Store in a clean, dry and dark location, preferably in a protective case, and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
• Do not clean the pads with aggressive chemicals such as solvents, petrol, rubber detergents or softeners.
• Replace any pad immediately if it is damaged, aged, has reduced elasticity or no longer provides reliable holding force.
• Bohle instructs that the rubber pads be replaced at least every two years and that only original replacement parts be used.

Repair option: Ontario Glazing Supplies lists a compatible Veribor repair kit for metal suction cups containing a replacement pad, lever, spring, washer and bolt.
