The Masterhitch Pipe Lifter attachment is a specialised tool designed for the safe and efficient handling of pipes in construction and infrastructure projects. The attachment provides a secure grip on cylindrical objects, such as concrete drainage pipes, enabling easy lifting, precise positioning, and smooth transportation on site.
This attachment is typically used with an excavator, offering a fast and reliable solution for handling heavy pipes without manual effort or additional equipment. It’s especially useful for moving pipes in tight or hard-to-reach spaces, making it ideal for a wide range of construction tasks, from sewer installations to water mains.
The Masterhitch Pipe Lifter is a revolutionary attachment for the safe handling of concrete drainage pipes. Its direct lift system eliminates the need for traditional methods, such as chains or strops, making it a more streamlined and secure option. By easily connecting to the machine’s quick hitch, pipe lifters offer swift installation and reduces setup time significantly.
The pipe lifter works by inserting a metal spike into the pipe and positioning it at the top for stability. The lifter then employs a spring mechanism that engages a stabilisation plate upon lifting, ensuring a firm grip even during extreme angles or tilts.. This system allows operators to safely lift and position pipes from the comfort of the excavator cab, without needing additional personnel in hazardous areas like trenches. This significantly improves site safety and operational efficiency, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries while streamlining the entire pipe-laying process.
Additionally, the precise control provided by pipe lifters helps prevent pipe damage during lifting, reducing the likelihood of costly repairs or replacements. Pipe lifters are a crucial tool for improving productivity and ensuring high standards of safety on-site.
The Masterhitch Pipe Lifter is designed to fit 14 and 21 tonne machines. They can also be made to fit “on pin” application.
