After researching alternatives to using a traditional sling, Terra decided on the PL 8500 Semi Automatic Pipe Lift from Kenco. Terra needed a safe, cost effective way to get the pipe in the ground as quickly as possible and without much room to work. The utilities were located directly across from the UW Hospital, so space was at a premium. Terra Engineering & Construction was contracted by the State of Wisconsin in April of 2007 to replace much of the existing chilled water lines, steam tunnels, sanitary sewers, and water mains on the west end of campus. The various utilities that run through the University of Wisconsin Campus and the UW Hospital were in major need of repair. The Pipe Lift is a patented design under US Patent 6012752.Īll Kenco lifting products are hand tested by our engineering staff before it leaves our facility. Kenco patented below the hook lifting products are designed, manufactured and tested in compliance with the latest revisions of the ASME B30.20 and BTH-1 standards and are accepted by OSHA, CanOSH, as well as virtually all other world wide standards. You can check the Kenco store for more variations & attachments. All Kenco Pipe Lifters can be fit with a rubber lining to prevent scratching or marring of the pipe. Custom units of these lifting clamps & pipe tongs are also available and have been built in excess of 120″ diameters. Standard models are available for 4″ to 48″ pipe and can be modified to handle more than the rated capacity. These concrete pipe pickers won’t release until the pipe has been set back down firmly into position. The operator simply sets the tongs down onto the pipe and the legs of the pipe lifting clamp automatically grab on tightly.

The operator can use these pipe lifting tongs to grab, lift and move pipe without assistance. The Pipe Lifter’s unique, wide scissor-grip design permits a secure lift – even when the lifter is not completely centered on the pipe. Need more versatility?

If you have ever tried to move pipe using straps or teacups, you’ll appreciate how the Kenco Pipe Lift increases productivity. Use the power of gravity to allow the scissor action of our pipe lifter to clamp securely on PVC, ductile iron or reinforced concrete pipe.
