The RK-USA Series is a heavy-duty mechanical clamp designed for quick, easy and safe transportation of manhole risers and bases. “RK” Clamps have been built with over 25 tons of carrying capacity for use on large diameter concrete pipe. Regardless of the model, the RK offers true automatic operation in a mechanical clamp: For manhole sections the forklift operator remains in the cab, lowering the RK 1-USA onto the product without aid; lifting immediately, the RK 1-USA automatically grips the product. Set the product down, the clamp automatically releases and you’re immediately ready to pick another piece. Results include significant reductions in truck loading times and manufacturing area "clear-out" times. The RK 1-S will free-up valuable resources for use in other areas of your production.
Advantages
- Safety. Forklift operators accomplish all handling operations without leaving the truck.
- Reduced damage to the product.
- Reduced labor costs - reduced handling times
