In industries dealing with heavy materials or structures, the use of grips and grippers for lifting and transport is invaluable. At the same time, they facilitate work, which requires less effort, and significantly increase its safety. These tools are invaluable in many industries and can be used for a variety of load sizes. Learn about the types of grips and grippers for lifting and transporting. What else will we use these tools for?
Types of grips and grippers for lifting and transporting
The handles and grippers are various types of hooks, forks, catches and baskets. They can be divided into two main types – magnetic holders and for specific tasks. The first of them are universal and very durable. They can be used for most metal loads and are resistant to all kinds of mechanical damage (e.g. impacts, contact with uneven and sharp edges of transported materials).
The second type is tailored to specific works. And this is how you can distinguish, among others, handles for:
- sheets,
- containers,
- rails,
- barrels,
- pipes.
It is worth remembering that all types of grips and grippers must meet strict EU standards and the provisions of the Machinery Directive.
Lifting and transporting lugs and grippers – what are they for?
Grips and grippers can be used for lifting, carrying and transporting structures and materials. They provide much more safety at work and are used primarily in the manufacturing, shipping and construction industries. They are mounted on overhead cranes and cranes, and thanks to this, these machines are able to lift non-standard loads, such as, for example, concrete cuttings, shaped sheets, all kinds of rods, pipes, and even glass and other types of fragile materials.
There are many models of grippers, adapted to various types of materials (for example concrete blocks or glass), for various types of tasks (e.g. unloading or carrying and transporting), and differing in the way they function (e.g. ordinary, magnetic or vacuum). Thanks to such a variety, everyone will surely find models tailored to the needs of a specific company.
Many of these tools can be found in the Mipromet store, which offers, among others, models such as:
- CH-A miproClamp holder for wire coils;
- SH magnetic crane conveyor;
- SH magnetic crane gripper;
- HL 60-CE manual magnetic transporter;
- manual magnetic gripper HL 60-CE;
- M180126 wheel turning handle;
- M180126 wheel turning handle;
