KENCO PIPE LIFT
Kenco Pipe Lifter
Pipe lifting and handling is a frequent task across numerous industries in means of gas and liquid substance transport. Traditional methods, including ductile iron or reinforced concrete, for handling heavy cylindrical objects such as pipes are rather time-consuming. Mechanical pipe lifting tool was introduced to increase workflow efficiency, reduce time and add to the safety effectively. In this article, we introduce to you Kenco Pipe Lift, an ultimate solution to handling, lifting and placing pipes as it is a simplistic scissors style friction clamp. Also known as a pipe lifting clamp, this device handles a large range of sizes akin to industrial pipes, a hundred percent independent of other hydraulic and industrial lifting devices in real world operation.

- Offshore and Onshore Energy Platforms
- Industrial Construction Sites
- Warehouse and Material storage units
- Mining Sites
- Refineries
- Food and Chemical Factories, and more
They can also be used as pallet lifting equipment for cranes, as box lifting devices, and an overhead crane pallet lifter
How does an automatic pipe lifting clamp work?
The operator can simply use the clamps to attach to the pipes, lift and transport them without any manual intervening- hence categorized among the highly regarded hands free safety equipment. By pushing a few buttons, the legs of the pipe lifting clamp are wrapped around the pipe for lifting.
The Kenco pipe lifter is constructed with a unique extra wide profile design to provide a safe lift, even when the clamps are not located exactly at the center. These automatic types of lifting clamps come with scissor action, which utilizes natural gravity to attach scissor clamp for clamping tubes securely, thus making it complete hands-free. The internal actuator system allows the operator for pipe pick up one after another, the initial cycle grabs a single pipe and the second cycle locks the tongs open for a second pick instantly. No additional personnel is needed to setup again hence improving both safety and efficiency.
Any pipe size between 4 to 48 inches in diameters can be lifted with the standard models. Although for higher and lower dimensions or other specific sizes, custom lifting pipe lifts with specialized tongs can be designed as well. Noted among the fine engineering features, every model of Kenco pipe lifters is enriched with a rubber lining to prevent any damage and scratching of the body of the pipe while lifting, transport, and positioning.
Here is a general outline of the device’s functionality and its attachment to lifting bars for cranes:
1. The device’s frame lifting hoist is set into an open position and lowered for load lifting.
2. Lifter’s tongs are placed on the pipes, which automatically releases the actuator.
3. Further, the pipe hoist is raised, triggering the gravity-based grip and lifting fixture.
4. Pipe is lifted and then lowered for secure positioning- as the load sets, the hatch releases automatically.
