A vacuum suction lifter for holding and transferring objects with a temperature of more than 400° C., in particular glass screens, is provided, the contact surface (4) of which is raised with respect to a central surface (6), and which is covered with a heat-resistant, sufficiently tight textile structure of poor thermal conductivity, preferably a glass fibre fabric, as the sealing element (16). The contact surface (4) matches the contour of the workpiece to be lifted.
