20V MAX* GRABO Lifter
With a lift-load capacity of up to 265 lbs. max in horizontal lifting and up to 132 lbs. max in vertical lifting, the 20V MAX* GRABO Lifter (DCE592) utilizes a powerful electric vacuum pump to support user control during lifting, carrying or installation applications. The Lifter can be used with a wide range of heavy construction materials including glass, tile, metal, as well as semi-porous materials like wood, drywall, concrete and natural stones. Powered by a DEWALT 20V MAX* battery, the tool offers runtime for the workday.
The 20V MAX* GRABO Lifter is equipped with a built-in pressure sensor that automatically controls the pump, helping to maintain the vacuum grip. It also features a digital pressure gauge that communicates pressure developed as well as an audio alarm alerting users when battery level is low and four metal lift-strap attachment hooks allowing for use of lifting straps (straps sold separately).
The 20V MAX* GRABO Lifter will be available as a bare unit (DCE592B, battery sold separately) or kitted (DCE592D1, battery included).
