Kenco Multilift: A Game changer Concrete Lifter
Lifting heavy loads such as concrete slabs and blocks is a routine task on construction sites, industrial production lines. While these tasks were being performed in a mix of manual handling and mechanical lift, Kenco MultiLift was designed for automated handling of such occasions. With a highly innovative sliding grip to adjust around the objects’ edges, a concrete lifter cuts off the use of other hydraulic mechanic lifters and manual manipulation.
The precast lifting devices are innovations that impose a tremendous impact on the speed and safety of construction industries across various sectors.
Usability across the Sectors
In essence, any company that requires lifting of heavy slabs can benefit from this concrete lifting equipment, by reducing the number of required personnels, additional hydraulic devices and increasing the general safety. The Kenco MultiLift sees through an extensive range of lifting tasks in the following industries and more sectors;

How It Functions
Here is a quick glance at how to lift precast concrete steps and other heavy objects; to facilitate a wide range of lifting grab, the precast concrete lifting devices are designed by a diversified range reaching up to 88 inches, or 223 cm of gripping range. While widely known as concrete lifting devices, it handles a wide range of objects, including;
- Concrete blocks and slabs
- Precast airport and marine station flooring
- Stone and granite curbing
- Precast steps lifter facilities
- Used as a wall block lifting tool
- Prefabricated building parts such as kenco roofing
- Sidewalk lifter
The operation of the concrete slab lifting devices is rather straightforward. At first, the legs are fixed to the ground for maximum central stability, which is done by setting a simple lever that is modifiable in width accordingly. The lever is constructed for both flat surfaces and sloped areas, and safeguarded with a circular pad angle that is adjustable to several directions. The pads offer a reversible lifting clutches to grasp the slabs from back-to-front whenever needed. They facilitate free flipping and rotation, which permits grabbing an object from both outside and inside out- in case of hollow loads.
The multilift’s pad angles are also replaceable in case of damage or interchangeable to cater the lifting of diverse materials such as stone, metal and plastic. Polyurethane pads are specially designed to attach to sleek surfaces such as steel plates. By using a sling and secure shackle hold mechanism, the load is secured throughout the transport.
After the object is delivered to the required position, the Kenco MultiLift’s tongs release the grip on the concrete lock block and are positioned for the next load lifting immediately.
