Since the acquisition of AGT (Australian Glass Tools) in 2008, C.R.Laurence Co., Inc. has continued to significantly develop the product range and production capacity. The latest result from this ongoing strategic investment is the all new CRL Sure-Grip Vacuum Lifter, which has just been launched across Europe. Key features of this pump action lifter include; soft contoured sure-grip handle which increases both safety and comfort for the user, vacuum loss indicator, easy one hand use capability and the greatest lifting capacity of any 8" ( 200mm ) lifter with a safety factor x3. All this is available at highly attractive prices for distributors, wholesalers and end-users, because you now buy directly from the manufacturer, say the company. The Sure Grip S338 has been independently tested and carries the CE certificate and declaration of conformity; which indeed all CRLs Pump Action Vacuum Lifters comply and are certified to. Manufactured by C.R. Laurence Australia Pty Ltd, Director of Manufacturing in Australia, Ron Bremner, commented on the launch; "As AGT previously, we produced a widely respected and exported range of vacuum lifters and developed our in-house expertise over several years; with the substantial investments made by CRL, and the commitment shown to develop both the range and technical specifications, we are able to introduce products such as the Sure-Grip. We are confident that Sure-Grip will be a strong selling product across many markets due to its great price to performance correlation."
