What is a Pipe Lifter?
The Masterhitch Pipe Lifter attachment serves as a specialised digger attachment designed for the safe and efficient handling of pipes in construction and infrastructure projects. This attachment offers a secure grip on cylindrical objects like pipes, enabling their lifting, positioning, and transportation with precision and ease.
Why should you use a Pipe Lifter?
The Masterhitch pipe lifter attachment stands out as a game-changer in the handling of concrete drainage pipes, prioritising safety and ease. Its direct lift system eliminates the need for chains or strops, seamlessly connecting to the machine’s quick hitch for swift and secure installation.
Operating by inserting a metal spike inside the pipe and positioning it at the top for stability, the lifter employs a spring mechanism that engages a stabilisation plate upon lifting, ensuring a firm grip even during extreme angles or tilts. This innovative attachment significantly enhances safety protocols on construction sites by eliminating the need for individuals in trenches during pipe laying, eliminating the requirement for additional equipment to secure the pipe, and allowing the excavator operator to remain safely within the cab, streamlining operations and improving overall site safety and efficiency.
What size machine will this attachment fit?
The Masterhitch Pipe Lifter is designed to fit 14 and 21 tonne machines. They can also be made to fit “on pin” application.
