A large part of the typical construction site involves installion, removal and replacement of concrete pipes to handle drainage of water, sewer and other utilities.

The Best Below the Hook Handling Device for Concrete Pipe

A far better option for laying heavy concrete pipe is to use a Kenco pipe hook for these 8 foot sections. It not only increases the job safety factor, but also adds significant productivity to the schedule. The pipe hook, sometimes referred to as a c-clamp, is available in both a mechanical and self-balancing option. Each of these pipe lifting devices can be used for a large range of diameters as well as any shape of pipe, including elliptical.

The Mechanical Pipe Hook is available in standard models of up to 60,000 pound capacities. Simply attach our Kenco-approved RigMax to the lift eye of the bucket or machine and use the manual slide located at the top of the hook to adjust the angle of the pipe. This gives full control to the operator for proper placement.

Self leveling models are available in 3500 and 9000 pound capacities. These particular models hook up the same as the mechanical version, but have a specialized cylinder that automatically adjusts the weight of the pipe to achieve the proper balance point, perfect for installing the pipe.

Each Pipe Hook comes fitted with our Kenco-branded elastomer pads to help protect the cement pipe from damage. Pads cover the section that contacts the lifted pipe along the inside bottom surface of the hook. Another pad is located in the back of the throat to protect the lip of the pipe when driving the pipe home. All of the pads are replaceable with the removal of just a few bolts.

Custom projects often require custom projects and Kenco can help with that too. Our largest pipe lifting tool was able to move 78,000 pound pipe. Contact Kenco for details.

Kenco’s pipe handling equipment 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, CanOSHs, as well as virtually all other world wide standards.

NO other company can compete with the quality and safety that Kenco provides. We’ve been in the lifting industry for over 30 years and it shows!

Other inferior pipe tong’s narrow profile require locating the exact center to maintain control of the pipe during the lift. However, the Kenco Pipe Lift is built with an extra wide profile which takes 100 percent of the guesswork out of determining the exact center. There are no hydraulics needed as the entire functioning of the pipe lifter is mechanically driven.

The pipe is lifted easily and safely, each and every time. The operator remains in full control of the movement of the pipe itself, saving both time and money on the jobsite.

The Kenco Pipe Lift is also completely hands-free. Our internal actuator system allows for each pipe pick to occur one right after another. The initial cycle will grab a single pipe and a second cycle locks the tongs open for a second pick. No additional workers are needed which improves both safety and efficiency.

Each Kenco Pipe Lift model has a range of pipe diameters it can lift. Whether it be removal or installation of ductile iron, steel, pvc or even concrete pipe, we have a lifter for it. We also offer an optional rubber lining (use to help protect the pipe. Our specially designed pipe handling devices have grip ranges from 4” to 48” so there is likely an off-the-shelf model that will work for the job.

Kenco also certifies each and every pipe lift that leaves our facility. See more about that HERE. The safety and efficiency of a Kenco Pipe Lift is miles above any competitor on the market. What else would you expect from a company that has been in the below the hook lifting industry for over 30 years?! Shop now and get one for your jobsite today!
