Probst VH2-HG Two Person Handle – Accessory for the VH-1/25 Vacuum Handy Lifter
The Probst VH2-HG is one of the best two-person handle accessories on the market for vacuum slab lifters — a precision-engineered add-on that makes a genuine difference when you're handling large format or heavy non-porous slabs. It's a product our customers consistently come back to tell us they're delighted with: simple to fit, robust in use, and exactly what's needed when one pair of hands isn't enough.
Designed to attach to the Probst VH-1/25 Vacuum Handy Lifter, the VH2-HG doubles the working load limit from 25 kg to 50 kg — enabling safe, controlled two-person handling of porcelain and smooth stone slabs close to ground level.
We’re a small, family-run business — I’m Cleo, the owner, with over 25 years in the construction industry working with businesses including Tarmac and Instarmac. I work alongside a team of incredibly knowledgeable and caring individuals, and between us we’ve seen a lot of lifting equipment come and go. The Probst range consistently stands out for build quality and practical design on site.
If you’re regularly laying larger format porcelain slabs — anything from 600x600mm upwards — and you want to protect your team from unnecessary strain, the VH2-HG is the right addition to your VH-1/25. One important point: the 50 kg working load limit applies specifically to two-person operation with the VH2-HG fitted — the VH-1/25 alone remains rated at 25 kg for single-person use.
Please note: This listing is for the VH2-HG two person handle only — sold separately from the Probst VH-1/25 Vacuum Handy Lifter. The VH-1/25 is available as a separate product on our website.
What This Product Is

For full fitting guidance, refer to the Probst VH-1/25 Operating Manual.
How to Use the VH-1/25 with the VH2-HG Fitted
