Handling Attachments
Crane Handling Attachments, Cables, Lifting Beams & Grabs
Crane handling attachments are specialised devices designed to be affixed to a crane’s hook, jib, or boom, significantly expanding its capabilities beyond simple lifting. They allow cranes to handle a wide variety of materials and perform diverse tasks safely and efficiently.
Here are some common types of crane handling attachments and their applications:
- Crane Forks
- Large/Small Dee Shackles
- Large/Small Bow Shackles
- Large ‘C’ Hook
- Vacuum for Lifting Systems
- Screw Adjustable Lifting Grab
- Pneumatic Lifting and Turning Grab
- Electro Magnets
- Battery Magnets
- Hand Operated Magnetic Lifters
- Eyebolts
- Lifting Beams
- Loop Bag Lifting Beams
- Scissor Style Grabs
- Plate Lifting Clamps
Benefits of Crane Handling Attachments:
- Improved Versatility: Transform a standard crane into a multi-purpose machine, capable of handling a vast array of loads.
- Enhanced Safety: By providing secure and appropriate means of attachment, they reduce the risk of accidents, load shifting, and damage to materials.
- Increased Efficiency: Streamline lifting operations, reduce manual labour, and speed up project completion times.
- Better Load Management: Enable precise control and balancing of various materials, including those that are heavy, bulky, unbalanced, or unusually shaped.
Choosing the right crane attachment depends on the specific job requirements, the type of material being handled, the load capacity, and the crane’s capabilities.
