Small, lightweight, easy to handle but nonetheless ultra-strong

EASYGRIP EXG-MAXI is a mechanical grab suitable for handling parallel, plane and non-conical concrete elements, such as border stones, slabs, block steps and kerb stones.

• The compact and lightweight EASYGRIP EXG-MAXI can be attached to a carrier (loading crane, mini-excavator etc.) by means of hoisting belts or chains. Thus just one person is able to operate the grab mechanically
• The grab comes with two handles and thus is also suitable for a two-man manual operation
• With larger gripping range and height-adjustable support as standard.

Gripping Range W mm (in): 0 – 400 (0 – 15 3/4")

Inside Height E mm (in): 165 – 215 (6½ – 8½")

Gripper Length L mm (in): 235 (9 1/4")

Working Load Limit WLL kg (Ibs): 600 (1320)

Dead Weight kg (Ibs): 15 (33)

Good at arranging tiles. 

The new vacuum hand laying device for tilers and landscape contractors allows fast lifting, moving and laying of large tiles, natural stones and slabs with one hand, in a way that is easy on the back.

• The aluminium suction plate has a dead weight of less than 1 kg. 
• Can be connected to standard industrial vacuum cleaners* using the vacuum hose and connecting cone supplied, or directly to the SPEEDY or QUICKJET with the vacuum hose.
• The FLIEGUAN-HANDY is placed on the tile or slab and pressed on very briefly with no effort, and it automatically sucks on by itself in a matter of seconds.
• The tile can be lifted from the stack immediately and brought to the placement location.
• With a slight finger movement, a springloaded vacuum valve is opened to deposit the tile. Simply reclose it to pick up the slab again.
• If the FXH-25 is simply placed on a tile, a slab or the ground without being pressed on, then it is not sucked on; this protects the vacuum cleaner and saves energy!
• Considerably easier laying, as there is no need to grip on the side, especially for the last slab.
• Wall tiles are much easier to lay with one hand.
• Easy removal and insertion of the tile, e.g. to correct adhesive application.
• Less risk of edge damage, as laying is more precise and with a better view.
• Suitable for right and left-handed use.
   

The HVZ-ECO can be used in connection with any type of carrier (hydraulic excavators, wheel loaders, lift trucks, ...), due to the light weight this clamp is especially suitable for mini excavators. Enormous rationalisation profit: The clamp achieves easy shifting of undentated pavers into the running bond - automatically, quick and powerfull (Equipment for shifting H-Stones on request).

The mechanical paver installation of interlocking pavers with mini excavators often fails because of the high weight of the installation clamps. Under the weight of the clamp and the block layer the mini excavators centre of gravity is shifting too far to the front and it tilts over. But landscapers and small building firms often have no bigger carriers as an alternative available.

With a weight of only 210 kg, the Hydraulic Installation Clamp HVZ-ECO is much lighter than many other installation clamps. High-strength materials allow for a slim construction without loss in carrying capacity.

Further Advantages:

• The slim construction offers a good overall view
• Better pick up and installation due to the adjustment possibilities at the attachment
• Absorbing the swivellings by damping springs
• In just a few simple steps and without additional tools adjustable to gripping width from 580 to 1260 mm
• With only one hydraulic circuit required and the fully automatic selectable motion sequences the HVZ-ECO offers a great laying performance
• Ingeniously easy to operate

Technical data:

• Main Gripping Width W mm (in): 580 - 1,260 (22¾ - 49¾'')
• For paver thickness mm (in): 50 - 160 (2 – 6¼")
• Side Gripping Width L mm (in): 960 - 1,440 (37¾ - 57'')
• Working Load Limit WLL kg (lbs): 400 (800)
• Dead Weight approx. kg (lbs): 210 (460)

Working load limit now up to 200 kg! 

With this new inexpensive hand laying tool all kinds of slabs can be layed quickly and above all, ergonomically.

The powerful single phase powered vacuum turbine also allows the quick and safe handling of very porous material as well as material with exposed aggregat surface. 

• NEW: Can now, when combined with the corresponding suction plate and lifting eye VS-EH safely lift and lay elements weighing up to 200 kg.
• The working load limit with handles is 140 kg.
• The construction of the SPEEDY has been reinforced throughout.
• Quick positive suction action (0.5 sec).
• Handles individually height adjustable. Important for users of different heights and for laying steps.
• Two short handles (in lower position) make easier the taking-off from high stacks of slabs.
• Special suction plate exchangeable for special elements with maximum weight of 200 kg.
• The handles can be folded down for easy transportation (see picture).
• Light weight design - only approx. 18 kg dead weight.
• Galvanised.

SPEEDY VS-XL 

• with long handles for safe installation of slabs 
• with lifting eye and safety chain for risk-free lifting and handling
   

The new battery-driven vacuum lifting device with even more power

Easy to handle, robust, independent of main power supply – the logical development of our tried and tested universal device, with load-bearing capacity of up to 600 kg. Flexible, fast and secure installation of primarily vacuum-dense elements, e.g. such as granite.

Powered by rechargeable, exchangeable 12 V battery. Power saving control system makes battery lasting for one whole working day. Battery can be exchanged within seconds. Battery charge indicator. Battery charger not included.

• Can be used with any hoist
• With integral chain-box and load-securing chain
• Integral charger socket for charging
• Optional extra: SM-BB Operating handle

Additional features of the SM-600-POWER:

• Twice the pumping capacity compared with the SM-600, providing greater reserves for slightly porous materials
• Built-in operating hours counter
• Suction and release operation via comfortable button activation

Optional retro-fitting of remote control for suction and release operations, enabling single-operator activation from the carrying device
