EASY GRIPPER CRANE

Improve safety and efficiency

The Easy Gripper Crane improve safety and efficiency. It saves time, and it reduces strain and risks for the operator significantly, making it an ideal tyre handler for everything from tractors and agriculture equipment to material handlers and construction equipment.

Ideal for workshops, on-site tyre service, and OEMs

The Easy Gripper Crane is designed for use with knuckle boom cranes, workshop cranes and overhead cranes and offers the optimal flexibility allowing the operator to be able to both transport and mount AGRO and OTR tyres and wheels – even single-handedly.

Capability

With a gripping range of Ø1.200 – 2.395 mm (47 – 94”) and a lifting capacity of 1.200 kg (2.645 lbs), the Easy Gripper Crane is developed for easy handling of AGRO and OTR tyres.

Tyre handling in any environment

The Easy Gripper Crane makes it easy to handle a tyre or wheel and place it on e.g. a truck bed, in a storage rack, or mount/demount it on a vehicle.

The Easy Gripper Crane is especially suitable for on-site tyre handling in difficult terrain where utilization of the long reach of the knuckle boom crane is imperative.

Advantages

Unique and safe 3-point grip
90° tilt, horizontal to vertical
Easy ±25° rotation by hand for bolt alignment
Quick change of the gripping diameter
Easy to operate – even single handedly
Handling of tyres both vertical and horizontal
Tyre handling in difficult terrain
Improve the ergonomic working environment
Improves safety and efficiency
Eliminates heavy lifts

Configuration options

The Easy Gripper Crane can be configured in different ways. The Easy Gripper Crane is designed for use with knuckle boom cranes, workshop cranes and overhead cranes and can be delivered in two versions:

The interchangeable set of gripping arms comes in two sizes giving different gripping diameters:

1.200 – 1.800 mm (47 – 71”)
1.790 – 2.390 mm (70 – 94”)

The interchangeable connecting rod comes as standard in three different lengths:

700 mm (28”)
1.000 mm (39”)
2.300 mm (91”)

Technical specifications

Technical Data

Weight: 330 kg (727 lbs)
Lifting capacity: 1.200 kg (2.645 lbs)

Technical Requirements

Hydraulic – 1 single or double acting hydraulic valve at the end of the crane boom

Connection options

If the crane has 2 hydraulic circuits at the end of the crane boom these can be connect directly to the respective cylinders. This gives the operator the possibility to operate both the tilt and the clamping functions directly from the remote control of the crane.
If the crane has 1 hydraulic circuit at the end of the crane boom, the circuit can be connected to a directional valve mounted on the Easy Gripper Crane. This gives the operator the possibility to operate the tilt function directly from the remote control of the crane. When the operator wants to use the clamping function, he will have to use the same function on the remote control and at the same time activate the spring-loaded directional valve. In this way we will have our usual safety precaution of a two-hand operation for open/close build-in the way to operate the crane.
If no hydraulic circuits are available at the end of the crane boom you can use an air hydraulic pump to operate the two functions. But you have to make sure that this pump is able to deliver sufficient oil flow to give a decent cycle time for the two hydraulic functions.
