Pipe Lifting Cranes: A Guide to Pipe Grabs for Lifting Pipes of All Materials
Pipe Grabs allow us to lift pipes of various materials and hoist them into the desired location. The hoisting mechanism is crucial in ensuring the functionality, reliability, and efficiency of handling steel pipes during production processes. After locking on to the ends of the pipe. This saves using rigging and needing to block up the ends to enable freeing the rigging after the operation. This is the fast way to manage pipe handing. Let’s get it done with Eichinger.

Introduction
Pipe handling is a critical process in various industries. The use of pipe handling cranes and equipment has revolutionized the way concrete pipes are handled, transported, and stored. These advancements have not only increased efficiency but also enhanced safety and precision in operations. In this article, we will explore the different types of pipe handling equipment, safety standards, and applications, as well as the various lifting devices and attachments used in the industry.
Safety and Standards
Safety is a top priority in the pipe handling industry. Pipe handling equipment must meet or exceed applicable safety standards, including:
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration)
ASME B30.20 (Safety Standard for Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices)
ASME B30.9 (Safety Standard for Hooks)
Regular maintenance and inspection of pipe handling equipment are also crucial to ensure safe and efficient operation. Adhering to these standards helps prevent accidents and ensures the longevity of the lifting devices.
