UG-Series Features

• Heavy-duty Construction of Light Weight, High Tensile Steel.
• Welded Construction using a “structural profile” made of High Tensile Steel.
• High Strength-to-Weight Ratio.
• Parallel clamping movement minimizes space required between pipes.
• Polymer Slide Bearings protect major wear surfaces and ensure long service life.
• Slide Bearings are guaranteed against failure for 3 years.
• Pipes are rotated in a raised position eliminating damage to the joints.
• Hydraulic Operation  –  clamping & rotation on separate circuits
• If only (1) hydraulic circuit is available, a valve can be supplied to split (1) circuit between (2) functions (add’l. cost).
• Direct attachment to your forklift’s carriage.
• Large pressure pads reduce the PSI on the pipe wall allowing fairly green product to be handled safely

The UG-Series of Hydraulic Forklift Attachments are designed to “lay down” pipes at the same time they are being transported from production to storage:  Pipes are securely gripped and lifted while standing vertical; as the pipes are moved from the kiln floor (or cart) to the yard, they are hydraulically lowered to a horizontal position. 

Results: Significant improvement in ‘tip-out’ process safety and less potential for damaged product.
