AB-C Pipe Clamps Class IV
AB-C Pipe Hold-Down Clamps are a custom-engineered forklift attachment designed for Class IV (ITA/FEM/ISO) hook-type carriages. Built for heavy-duty applications, this clamp allows operators to safely secure and stabilize pipe while retaining the side shift function on most forklifts.
Designed for demanding environments, the AB-C Series handles pipe ranging from approximately 2.8 inches up to 20 inches in diameter and lengths up to 40 feet. Its vertical opening design allows operators to handle both pipe and conventional palletized loads without removing the attachment—making it a highly versatile solution for mixed-use operations.
AB-C Pipe Hold-Down 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 side shift 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 up 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 vertically, 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 through our contact page. We can review your forklift setup to see if Series AB-C is right for your application.
