Mechanical Scissor Lift

Designed to lift, move and release numerous types of block and brick packs safely on a building site or yard. Fully mechanically operated via the forklift without the driver leaving the safety of his seat or via an overhead crane / HIAB. An alternative of the ISG-5, this unit was introduced to secure smaller packs of bricks and blocks – to suit all requirements on site.

STANDARD FEATURES

• Fixed internal pack height
• Profiled hooks for attachment of optional restraint net
• Fully automatic mechanism

OPERATION

• Fit the rubber pads arms to the foot of the grab (if not already fitted) and attach with two safety lynch pins per pad arm.
• Insert the lifting pin from the Self Locating Yoke (separate attachment) or the swivel hook (separate attachment) through the lifting eye of the Scissor grab.
• With the unit in the locked open position proceed towards your intend pack (if the unit is not in the open position fully close the grab and lift again).
• Adjust the actuator wheels (Model ISG-5 only) so that when the white nylon wheels make contact with the top of the pack the rubber pads arms are positioned within the bottom half of the bottom row of blocks (the actuator wheels are positioned by retracting the sprung loaded pin from the positioning hole then slide the actuator wheel assembly to its new desired position ensuring that both sides are in the same corresponding holes).
• Lift the grab so that it is positioned directly above the intend pack and lower the grab until the actuator wheels are resting on the pack (do not slam the grab down on the pack) and the grab has fully closed. Once closed begin to lift, the rubber pad arms will then begin to close on to the bottom block of the pack, continue to lift until the grab has lifted the pack clear of the ground/pallet.
• Once the pack is clear slide a restraint net (optional extra) under the pack and hook the net into the four profiled restraint net hooks in the main frame (this must be adhered to if lifting overhead).
• Drive the forklift to the desire position and then lower the grab until the pack comes into contact with a firm surface and actuator wheels once again resting on the pack (remove the net prior to this if fitted). The rubber pads arms will now have released from the bottom block, but then continue to lower until the grab has fully closed.
• Lift the grab clear of the pack and the unit will now be in its fully locked open position ready for the next operation.
