The sidewalk renovation in the centre of Verona, Italy, has been a demanding job: hundreds of square meters of paving, alternating large Prun stone slabs with granite slabs for edges and corners.
To move and position materials so different in weight, size and finish, the team turned to Righetti's S1-B vacuum lifter:
✅ Interchangeable suction pads, adapting in seconds to each slab
✅ Rechargeable battery power, so work continues even without electricity on site
✅ Compact, lightweight frame (20 kg), easy to load onto the van at the end of the day
✅ Excavator-mountable via omega shackle and lifting sling
✅ Secure grip even on flamed, bush-hammered or veined surfaces
By switching between the suction pads, operators could match the grip spread to the weight and surface of each stone, ensuring precise and safe placement throughout the job.
S1-B is the ideal solution built for anyone working daily with paving and landscaping projects.

La ventosa S1-B si è rivelata perfetta per la posa di lastre in pietra di Prun e granito durante il rifacimento dei marciapiedi di Verona.
