Made for handling heavy materials like concrete blocks, manhole covers and other large, heavy objects, gatic lifters and block grabs provide an easy means of lifting, positioning and transporting such heavy items.
Hire a pair of gatic lifters to lift and move precast concrete components, such as drainage covers, manhole lids and heavy slabs on your job site. These devices are engineered to handle significant weight, with features that ensure the load is securely gripped and lifted without risk of damage or accident.
If you need a block grab, we offer standard block grabs for bricks and blocks, concrete step grabs for steps and kerb stones, mechanical boulder grabs for boulders and stones, and snatch blocks for increasing winch pulling power. They feature a clamping mechanism that securely holds the block or panel in place while allowing workers to move it, minimising manual labour and reducing the risk of injury.
Yes, gatic lifters come with adjustable arms or features, allowing them to accommodate different projects. Gatic lifter hire is suitable for basic manhole covers, drainage lids and other precast concrete products.
Both gatic lifters and block grabs are designed to handle heavy materials. Gatic lifters are typically used for lifting manhole covers and similar items. Block grabs vary depending on the model but are generally designed to lift blocks weighing from hundreds of kilograms to a few tonnes. For specific advice, speak to our team.
Both tools can be used on uneven ground, but caution is needed. It’s important to ensure that the lifting equipment is stable and properly aligned with the material being moved to avoid tipping or shifting. These lifting devices are engineered with safety in mind, featuring locking mechanisms and secure clamping to prevent accidents. However, proper training and adherence to safety guidelines are essential for the safest operation during your gatic lifter or black grab hire.
