Veribor (603.021) Triple Suction Cup, Metal

Bohle Veribor®  |  Model BO603.021  |  OGS SKU SC-3130N

High-Capacity Aluminium Three-Pad Suction Lifter for Flat, Airtight Surfaces

The Bohle Veribor® 603.021 triple suction cup is a German-made, lever-activated hand lifter engineered for controlled lifting, carrying and positioning of clean, flat and gas-tight sheet materials. Its lead-free aluminium body, three 120 mm rubber pads and manufacturer-rated capacity of up to 100 kg provide a high-capacity handling solution for professional glazing and material-handling work.

Three-Pad Stability with a Space-Saving Lever Design

Bohle designed the 603.021 with large suction heads that distribute vacuum pressure across the outer holding area of each rubber pad. Wide toggle-lever contact surfaces support efficient force transmission when engaged with the thumb or heel of the hand, while large washers provide additional stability at the rocker arms.

For added flexibility, the third toggle lever can rotate 90 degrees in either direction. Repositioning this lever narrows the working profile of the three-pad lifter, helping the tool fit into more confined handling areas.

• Lead-free aluminium body: Robust metal construction intended for regular professional use.
• PAH-free rubber pads: Bohle identifies the pad material as free from PAH compounds.
• Independent lever activation: Each pad is engaged mechanically 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, all three levers and all three 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 all pads relaxed and lying flat, then engage all three 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 100 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 100 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. One kit services one suction-pad assembly.
