“C” fork

The self-balanced “C” fork is professional equipment designed for handling and placing concrete pipes on construction sites and in storage areas. The special C-shaped geometry allows the pipe to be gripped in a stable way, facilitating loading/unloading, moving and positioning operations with a crane.

The self-balancing system helps keep the load more controlled during manoeuvring, reducing oscillations and making the delicate approach and placing phases easier. It is the ideal solution when operational speed and greater safety are required compared to improvised systems or systems not specifically designed for pipes.

Advantages:

• Lifting stability: self-balancing promotes more controlled positioning of the pipe during manoeuvring
• Dedicated grip for concrete pipes: designed for repeated handling on site
• Faster operations: facilitates loading/unloading and placing, reducing downtime
• Greater safety: reduces the risk of rotations/oscillations during lifting with crane
• Professional structure designed for intensive use in construction and infrastructure

Applications:

• Handling and placing concrete pipes for sewers and underground services
• Loading/unloading pipes from vehicles
• Moves in yards and storage areas
• Support for prefabrication activities and infrastructure sites

Directions for use:

• Use exclusively with suitable cranes/lifting equipment and trained personnel
• Check the condition of the equipment before use (components, gripping points, structural integrity)
• Always operate keeping the manoeuvring area clear and safe

Fields of application: construction and infrastructure sites, laying sewer networks and underground services, prefabrication/concrete products, yard logistics, heavy material handling.
