Introducing the Kenco Zipper Wall Lifter for temporary, movable wall referred to as Zipper Wall.
Unique lifting situations are often brought to the Kenco engineering team that turn from single job solutions to a brand new standard products. That is exactly how the Zipper Wall lift was born. It was originally designed for a precast company who needed a better solution than strapping individual walls in the yard. They needed to improve stacking times while keeping their workers safe from strapping and unstrapping the walls.
Specially designed by our engineers for contractors and construction professionals, our zipper wall lift simplifies the process of lifting and installing zipper walls, offering unparalleled ease and precision. Whether managing commercial buildings, residential complexes, or large-scale infrastructure projects, the zipper wall mover can meet modern construction operations’ needs.
Tasks that once required multiple workers and substantial time are now manageable by a single operator. This advanced tool offers secure gripping and effortless handling, enabling precise placement of zipper walls with minimal risk of slippage or misalignment.
The design wraps around the top lip of the wall and firmly grips just beneath it. This secure lift requires no pads. It also uses the same medium actuator as Kenco’s standard lifting devices to mechanically open and release the tongs. Each pick is mechanically operated without ground assistance. There are two standard models that pick 2 or 3 walls respectively – KL6KTWALL56 / KL6KTWALL84.
Kenco’s 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.
The Zipper Wall lift system is engineered to maximize efficiency in road construction by allowing operators to lift multiple zipper-style wall segments simultaneously. Designed with versatility in mind, this innovative system utilizes a lifting beam to pick up to seven wall segments at once. This capability aligns perfectly with the full length of a flatbed truck, enabling seamless delivery of an entire row of walls.
Our engineers recognized the success of the original Zipper Wall lift and opted for a smart enhancement rather than reinventing the wheel. The thoughtfully designed lifting beam not only supports multiple Zipper Wall lifts but also maintains the functionality of a single lifter for less demanding jobs. This dual capability ensures that you have the right tool for any project, enhancing productivity and safety on the job site.
