A vacuum-assisted panel lifter includes a lifter attachment jib having a proximal end for mounting the vacuum-assisted panel lifter to an arm of a work vehicle and having a distal end that includes a rotator. The lifter includes a lifter frame rotationally mounted to the rotator and a plurality of modular vacuum-assisted lift pad assemblies. Each of the plurality of modular vacuum-assisted lift pad assemblies comprises a suction cup and a double-acting pneumatic actuator to displace the suction cup into engagement with a panel to be lifted. The double-acting pneumatic actuator furthermore creates a vacuum inside the suction cup when the suction cup engages the panel.
