LIFTING ATTACHMENTS | PRODUCTS
QS Camlok’s clamps can carry a drum at an angle or more vertically
purpose – and fit the rope and stopper into a slot in the side of the Tea Cup. Use your hoist to pull upwards on the wire rope and the stopper wedges itself into the Tea Cup and tries to pull it through the hole. The rim of the Tea Cup is larger than the hole. Result: the concrete pipe with the Tea Cup inside it gets securely lifted into the air. The device is available in three sizes with load capacities of up to 18 tons. The wire- rope slings come in six lengths. Caldwell has many other attachments, none so
forklift mounting or below-the-hook drum handling. Its lift-and-pour below-the-hook attachments let you pour controllably from your drum: the hoist lifts the drum and attachment, and the tilt-to-pour motion can be directed by hand, or by hand-operated chain, or powered either pneumatically or by AC electric motor. Anyone who (like your author) has tried to get fuel from an oil drum into a vehicle without a hand pump or similar would have wanted such a device – though, of course, its main application is for small production lines and workshops. Concrete sewer and water pipes are
another type of sometimes-awkward load. Faced with the task of attaching one to a hoist you might be tempted to pause for a cup of tea before tackling the job. Caldwell has the product for you. It is called the Tea Cup. Yes, seriously – it’s a lifting attachment. Caldwell created the Tea Cup pipe
carrier specifically to streamline the handling of concrete pipes. You can more or less guess roughly what shape it is. To use it you drill an appropriately sized hole in the pipe. You lower a wire rope that has a metal cylindrical stopper on its end through the hole. You reach inside the pipe, with the Tea Cup in your hand – it has a handle on the side, like its namesake, for exactly that
