AB-C Pipe Clamp
The AB-C PIPE HOLD-DOWN CLAMP is designed to fit class 2 and class 3 (ITA/FEM/ISO) hook type carriages while retaining the sideshift function, if used, on most forklifts. The AB-C series handles pipe ranging from 2.8 inch diameter up to 20 inch diameter in lengths to 40 feet. This clamp is easy to install using ITA/FEM standard hooks.
The clamp has zero lost load thickness so the original fork length is retained. It opens to vertical, allowing the forklift to handle conventional cargo.
All of the clamp hydraulics are installed and this unit ships ready to plug and work. Give us a call or email us by our contact page. We can review your forklift setup to see if Series AB is right for your application.
