GRABO V2 Electric Vacuum Lifter for Tile, Slabs & Textured Surfaces

The GRABO V2 electric vacuum lifter gives tile installers and remodeling pros a faster, safer way to lift, position, and set large materials on floors, walls, and other challenging surfaces. It keeps the proven GRABO lifting system users already trust, then adds a slimmer ergonomic handle, improved pressure release, 5-LED battery indicator, and better-protected controls for tougher jobsite conditions.

Previously sold as the Grabo Electric Vacuum Lifter. This updated model is the GRABO V2 and remains compatible with existing GRABO parts and accessories.

Features & benefits

  • Up to 375 lb max lifting capacity: Helps handle large tile, glass, metal, wood, drywall, and other materials with more control. Actual capacity depends on material porosity and carrying orientation.
  • Upgraded V2 ergonomics: Uses the slimmer PRO-style handle for better comfort during repeated lifts and long install days.
  • Improved pressure release: Gives users more controlled release when setting expensive materials into place.
  • Protected controls for tough jobsites: Rubber-covered power, motor, and release buttons help keep out dust, debris, and water.
  • Fast battery status check: Five LED lights make it easier to see charge level before and during installs.
  • Cordless operation: Powered by a 14.8V 2600mAh Li-ion battery with about 1.5 hours of nonstop runtime and roughly 900 on-off cycles of 10 seconds per full charge.
  • Works on smooth and lightly textured surfaces: Rated for peak/valley heights under 0.1 in. (3 mm).
  • Accessory continuity: Keeps the same internal motor, battery platform, digital gauge, and bottom foam seal, so existing GRABO accessories still work.
