The Pipe Lifter can be articulated to an angle of 30 degrees to aid pipe placement without the need for slings or chains and can be used to lift pipes up to 2500mm in length and 300mm to 1200mm diameter (refer to the individual QH badge rating).

    The Pipe Lifter has a mechanical clamping mechanism and is fitted to the excavator via quick hitch, so hydraulic connection to the excavator is not required.

Super Drag Boxes

Super Drag Boxes

Drag boxes provide local support to trenches as moveable ‘shields’ generally in stable or self-supporting ground conditions. They are not intended for full panel height support of trench walls, as in the case of a traditional trench box, however correct use will considerably enhance productivity and safety. It must be noted that drag boxes are very heavy pieces of equipment and certain Drag Box models permit the use of top boxes and/or rear extensions so will require large excavators to handle them safely.
