Vacuworx has extended its range of vacuum-powered materials handling attachments with the AMC 4 and AMC 6 models.

Suitable for use on compact to mid-sized excavators, the AMC range is based on the larger RC series, and features an integral vacuum tank that affords an immediate supply of suction power to clamp onto materials.

With wireless remote control, the unit requires a two-button press to release the vacuum – it is a system that its maker claimed will prevent the unit from dropping its load should engine power fail.

Vacuum gauges and warning lights offer immediate visual communication to the operator, highlighting the attachment’s status.
