UP GECO – Short-Handle Grip for GECO 200 Vacuum Lifter

Precise placement of slabs near walls, in corners, or in hard-to-reach areas requires not only experience but also the right tools. The specialized short-handle grip by UP GECO was designed for maximum ergonomics and full control when operating the GECO 200 vacuum lifter.

Using shortened handles allows the lifter to get closer to the edge of a terrace, building wall, or other architectural element that would otherwise restrict access. This makes it possible to position ceramic, concrete, porcelain, or granite slabs accurately without risk of shifting or damage. This solution is especially appreciated by pavers and construction crews working in confined spaces or finishing edge details on patios and driveways.

The UP GECO short handles are made of durable, powder-coated steel and are fully compatible with the GECO 200 mounting system. Their design allows quick replacement—without the need for specialized tools. The grip is equipped with ergonomic rubber-coated handles that ensure a firm hold even while wearing work gloves. The reduced reach not only facilitates working close to obstacles but also improves comfort when working in a bent position, helping reduce strain on the operator’s back and shoulders.

This solution is ideal for:

• laying terrace slabs along façades or retaining walls,
• working on balconies, narrow passageways, or corridors with limited access,
• finishing corners and stair steps using porcelain or granite tiles.

The short-handle grip is also a great option for solo workers who need more maneuverability when handling the lifter in tight spaces. Its use reduces working time, improves finish quality, and minimizes material loss due to damage.
