Why Rent This 1550kg Glass Lifter

Not every job needs the maximum 2,000kg rating — a lot of curtain wall glazing, large shopfront panels, and standard facade work sits comfortably under 1,550kg. This configuration gives you the same reliable Robert Kappel build quality, dual-circuit vacuum safety system, and electric rotation, at a lighter (and typically more cost-effective) setup.

The DSMH2-12V-2000 uses 360° electric rotation and 90° hydraulic sway, controlled through a cable remote that handles suction/release, slew up/down, and rotation left/right — giving smooth, precise positioning even at this weight class.

Because it’s mains-independent, this 1550kg glass lifter for rent works equally well on high-rise facade jobs and remote UAE sites where running stable power to height isn’t practical.

DSMH2-12V-2000 (Base Config) Specifications

Every unit we rent out is inspected, calibrated, and battery-tested before it leaves our warehouse, and is built to meet DIN EN 13155 site-operation requirements.

Specifications are provided as a general guide for this configuration — always confirm exact figures against your unit’s manufacturer documentation before publishing final specs, and update if you get hold of the official Robert Kappel datasheet.

1550kg vs 2000kg — Which Do You Need?

Both listings use the same Robert Kappel DSMH2-12V-2000 machine — the difference is only in how many suction pads and extensions are fitted:

• 1,550 kg (this listing) — 14 suction cups, no extensions. Best for standard curtain wall, shopfront, and facade panels under 1,550kg.
• 2,000 kg — 20 suction cups + 4 extensions. Needed for the heaviest glass, marble, and steel panel jobs. See the 2000kg listing →

Not sure which one fits your panel weight? Contact us with your job details and we’ll confirm the right configuration before delivery.

Best Uses for This Glass Lifter Rental

Contractors across the UAE rent this 1550kg glass lifter for jobs including:

• Curtain wall and facade glazing on mid-to-high-rise buildings
• Large shopfront and storefront glass installation
• Standard marble and stone slab handling in fit-out projects
• Glass balustrade and structural glazing installation
• Solar panel installation on commercial rooftops

The dual independent vacuum circuit means if one circuit loses pressure, the second continues holding the load while the acoustic alarm alerts the operator immediately.

Safety & Compliance

Every unit we supply meets DIN EN 13155, the European standard for loose lifting attachments used on construction and assembly sites. Before every rental, our team inspects the suction pads, checks vacuum gauge accuracy, and confirms the battery, charger, and hydraulic sway function are all working correctly.

FAQ

What is the maximum load this glass lifter can handle?

This base configuration lifts up to 1,550kg using 14 suction cups. If you need more, our 2000kg listing uses the same machine with 20 cups and 4 extensions fitted.

Is this the same machine as your 2000kg glass lifter?

Yes — it’s the same Robert Kappel DSMH2-12V-2000 unit, just fitted with fewer suction pads and no extensions for this lighter capacity.

Does it need mains power on site?

No — it runs on a 12V battery with an integrated charger, making it fully mains-independent.

Can I upgrade to 2000kg capacity if my job requirements change?

Yes — contact us before your rental starts and we can supply the full configuration (20 pads + extensions) instead, or discuss adding extensions to this unit.
