When Gripping Gets Tricky
Not every part is made for gripping, hooking, or latching. Some parts are smooth, delicate, or irregularly shaped, and that’s where vacuum lifting shines.
At Givens, we’ve been designing custom vacuum end effectors for decades. Whether you’re lifting sheet metal, doors, bags, or bumpers, our vacuum tools offer a safe and ergonomic alternative that gets the job done without damaging the load.

VACUUM TOOLS FOR ANY SURFACE
Let’s say you’re handling parts with no features to latch onto. Just flat, painted, or irregular surfaces. With vacuum cups and custom frames, we’ve made tools that rotate windshields 90 degrees, lift doors with adjustable arms, and stack dunnage using remote control.
Here’s how customers are using them:
– Lifting sheet metal and rotating it flat onto a press
– Handling plastic bins and containers in automotive assembly
– Moving wooden panels or glass with precision
– Gripping and stacking large bags or soft components
– Swapping out exhaust hoods with flexible vacuum grips

ENGINEERING THAT STICKS (LITERALLY)
Designing a vacuum tool is about more than suction cups. It’s about load balance, cup placement, tilt control, and operator ergonomics. We’ve built:
– Handlebar-equipped frames with 180° rotation
– Multi-cup setups for adjustable part sizes
– Air-powered tilters for heavy bags or boxes
– Quick-swap attachments for high-mix part handling
Every solution is tailored to your space, your process, and your part.
VACUUM THAT ADAPTS TO THE JOB
Some tools rotate. Some tilt. Some need to release on cue from a hoist. We’ve done it all. One automotive customer needed to lift and rotate full bumpers with minimal strain. We delivered a 90° rotation system with a suspended hoist mount.
Another needed a vacuum arm to reach under hoods during final assembly. Our adjustable frame got the job done without disrupting the workflow.
VACUUM WITHIN REACH
Whether you need a permanent vacuum manipulator or a quick-change end effector, Givens is ready to design the right tool for your material. With decades of experience and a focus on safety, we’ll help your team lift smarter.
