EquipmentWorld.com | May 2017 73 lifting attachments | continued Effi ciently lift in congested areas The Vacuworx AMC 4 and AMC 6 vacuum lift systems are designed to work in congested streets or other tight areas on compact to mid-sized excavators and truck-mounted articulat- ing cranes without signifi cantly reducing the host machine's lifting power. The AMC systems can load and unload materials, such as steel, poly or concrete pipe, trench plate and concrete slabs, with a small footprint. The AMC 6 can lift 13,200 pounds and comes with a pin adaptor for mounting to an excavator. The AMC 4 has a lift capacity of 8,800 pounds, and its hydraulic quick change adaptor is made for truck crane applications. Secure pipe loads, convert to straight forklift Available on JLG and SkyTrak telehandlers, the JLG pipe grapple handles various pipe di- ameters and confi gurations. The attachment's arms fold down on the pipe/poles, securing the load and preventing it from rolling off or tipping sideways. The clamping arms, mounted on top of the 72-inch carriage, can handle 2- to 30-inch diameter pipe. When idle, the arm assembly pivots to the full vertical position so the 48-inch forks can be used for typical forklift loads. Economically load/ unload materials The Edge Boom TB77 Lift/ Tree Boom by Manitou offers an economical way for skid steers, compact track loaders and compact wheel loaders to load and unload materials from hard-to-reach areas. It can also be used to place and remove concrete forms, as well as move and transport trees. The 182-pound, 59.25-inch-wide unit has a 3,500-pound capacity.
