A hobby or DIY job is fun only if you are not involved with heavy labor. Keeping this in mind we developed the GRABO H for serious DIY enthusiasts and hobbyists. The tool is as robust as other models but designed for simpler use.

The GRABO H is designed to reduce fatigue in lifting heavier objects whether you are doing a home makeover or just running a maintenance chore. Just like the pro models, no compromise is made on the build quality or performance of the tool. The ergonomics and ease of use dynamics are unchanged on the tool.

GRABO H is designed to carry out relatively smaller tasks. The payloads involved with DIY jobs are generally lighter and fewer bulkier materials are used. Therefore, the GRABO H has slightly less lifting capacity than the industrial models. The tool has a lifting capacity of 330 lbs (150 kg), which is more than sufficient given the size of most jobs.

The lifting system. i.e. the vacuum pump and seal are the same on this tool as used on the industrial models. The vacuum pump works at 11.6 psi (0.8 bars), which in turn creates a firm grip on almost all types of non-porous flat surfaces. Once the vacuum pump is activated, it creates a strong suction and firmly attaches to any flat surface.

This makes lifting wood, tile, or glass panels, or for that matter, any type of slabs or objects of different materials easier. For maximum heavy lifting, the vacuum pump can be kept activated even while lifting or moving the load.

Battery for GRABO H DIY lifter

The prominently positioned LED indicators on the GRABO handle, clearly and precisely indicate battery charge levels at any given time. To remove the tool from an object, simply press the red vacuum release button and move on to the next object to be lifted.

Given these features, GRABO H is an ideal tool for flooring and landscaping within the construction industry.

The tool is equipped with a powerful 2000mAh Li-ion battery. It takes up to 2 hours to fully charge the battery. The tool can work non-stop for 1 hour on a full charge, with a standby time of 25 days.

Despite having slightly less lifting capacity in contrast to the standard models, there has been no compromise on the ergonomics and build quality. The lightweight construction makes the tool portable and easy to handle, yet simplicity of operation and performance makes it an efficient tool.

Not only that, the GRABO H is far safer and more effective than the manual thumb-operated suction cups.

So, why put yourself in harm's way when you have a tool that is leaps and bounds ahead of the alternatives. There is no match for GRABO H other than the pro models.

GRABO H can be used creatively on some alternative applications too. For instance, it can be effectively used to lift and move smaller pieces of furniture. Likewise, it can also be used efficiently in assisting with lifting other smaller objects that weigh more.

There are users who use the tool even as support for their exercise routines or as ladder supports. However, we discourage any applications for which the tool is not intended.
