The Claw Pipe Handler It's a pipe lifter, but better.
What’s the Easiest Way to Move a Pipe? With The Claw
The Claw is a below-the-hook lifting device engineered specifically for handling pipe and pipe assemblies. But here’s what’s different: it has polyethylene teeth, or claws, that grab the pipe and hold it. With the Claw the pipe won’t roll. It doesn’t even have to be centered. The claw holds the pipe – it is contained.
The claw comes with a monitor and 2 or 3 cameras. The monitor shows the operator 2 or 3 views at the same time.
He sees exactly where the claw is, and he sees what’s around it.
No strap, no swamper, no tagline.
You pick up the pipe and maneuver it where you want with no chance of colliding with other equipment, or worse, people. The Claw gives your team the ability to safely move and manipulate pipes and sub-assemblies with unmatched control and efficiency.
Built for demanding shop and jobsite environments, The Claw grabs the load, lifts it, and transports it exactly where it needs to go—without the need for manual guiding or excessive crew support.
It’s faster.
With other pipe lifters, you have a safety man out there strapping, trying to hit the center, so it’s not all cockeyed. When it’s lifted, there’s a good chance it’s not centered correctly, which means it could fall. So the operator lays it back down, the spotter moves the strap over, and it’s lifted again. Only this time it’s tilting a little the other way. So the operator has to bring it back down, the swamper moves it over a foot, it’s lifted up and now it’s straight.
You’ve handled that pipe 3 times so far. It was a 3-4 minute operation. With The Claw this would take 15-20 seconds: reach down, grab it, and you’re out.
It’s safer.
Safety is built into every function of The Claw.
The Claw includes cameras situated in key areas, giving the operator a clear view on a monitor inside the cab. Because the operator maintains full hydraulic control from inside the cab, no additional personnel are required to guide the load outside the forklift. This significantly reduces the risk of jobsite injuries and keeps your team out of harm’s way.
Works With Off-Center Handling and No Strapping
Because the claw securely grips the pipe, the pipe doesn’t need to be centered or strapped. The pipe won’t roll, swing, sway or spin.
Saves labor. No swamper needed.
Get your worker away from the pick point. Since there are no straps or taglines are needed, and the pipes don’t roll or sway, no spotter is needed. You have the operator in the cab, who has a clear view in front of him and additional views on 2-3 monitors.
