Panel Handlers

Safely transport porcelain slabs, sintered stone, and large-format materials with a modular handling system designed to minimize breakage and maximize control.

Need a Safer Way to Move Large Format Slabs?

The Panel Handler System is engineered to help fabricators and installers safely move oversized porcelain panels, sintered stone, and large-format materials with greater confidence. Built around a modular rail and bridge design, the system provides exceptional rigidity while remaining lightweight and portable for shop fabrication and field installations.

Designed for use with Grabo Suction Cups (sold separately), the Panel Handler securely supports delicate materials during lifting, transporting, and installation, reducing the risk of flexing, cracking, and costly breakage. Whether you're installing large porcelain panels or handling countertop slabs, the modular design adapts to a variety of project sizes and material dimensions.

Available in both the Panel Handler Porcelain and Panel Handler Counter HD configurations, the system gives professionals the flexibility to choose the setup that best fits their fabrication workflow.
