Beam grab attachments assist in smooth delivery

Lynx Precast has invested over £2 million in its T Beam and Hollowcore manufacturing plant, which is said to be the only facility in the North East of England to produce both products.

Lynx Precast understands that each site and customer has different delivery requirements and expectations, and that when delivering its products, vehicles and material handling attachments must be specified to suit. 

To further excel in its customer service offer, Lynx Precast contacted B&B Attachments, the supplier of forklift attachments and specialist bespoke material handling solutions, to supply it with beam grab attachments. The grabs fitted to Lynx Precast crane delivery vehicles, assist in the smooth delivery process of beams where “supply only” customers do not require the aid of mechanical offloading facilities on site.

Each Beam grab, with optional lifting hooks and a rubber pad gripper arrangement, is designed to pick up a range of different sized beams and profiles. Lifting either 4 or 6 beams at once, the beam grabs supplied to Lynx Precast also have individual ball lock valves fitted, which enables single beams to be clamped and released when required.

The universal crane mounting plate enables the attachment to suit various adaptors, and the quick release couplings allow a quick change over to alternative attachments when required.
