• Specifically designed for heavy-duty work in the concrete construction industry.
• Tubular construction of light weight, high tensile steel.
• High strength-to-weight ratio.
• Fully Mechanical Operation
• Simple and reliable with low maintenance requirements.
• Fork Sleeve included - Can also be equipped with a crane eye.

An alternative to our proven “RK” and “KIG” Manhole Clamps which feature the flexibility to grab a range of I.D. sizes, the MBG will work on only 48" I.D. product (with walls of 5" - 5.5") but will grab both barrels and cones*.

The MBG Manhole Clamp is designed for quick, easy and safe transportation of manhole risers, bases and cones.  Like our other mechanical clamps, the MBG features true automatic operation: the forklift operator remains in the cab, lowering the MBG onto the product without aid; upon immediate lifting, the MBG automatically grips the product.  After the product is set down, the clamp automatically releases and the driver is immediately off to pick another piece.  Results include significant reductions in truck loading times and manufacturing area "clear-out" times.

Advantages

• Safety.  Forklift operators accomplish all handling operations without leaving the truck.
• Reduced damage to the product.
• Reduced labor costs - reduced handling times
