The Kenco PL2500 Pipe Lift is a remarkable tool that harnesses gravity to enable its scissor - action mechanism. This allows it to firmly clamp onto PVC, iron, or concrete pipes. With a 2500 - pound capacity, it can handle pipes with an outside diameter ranging from 14.00 to 23.00 inches. It can lift 14', 16', 18', and 20' DI and C900 PVC, or RCP 12', 15', and 18'. Unlike traditional methods like using straps or teacups, this pipe lift significantly boosts productivity. One operator can effortlessly grab, lift, and move pipes without any assistance. Its unique wide scissor - grip design ensures a secure lift, even when the pipe isn't centered. The operator simply places the pipe grabber tongs over the pipe, and the legs will automatically grip tightly until the pipe is safely positioned. The tongs are rubber - lined (unless specified otherwise) to ensure a firm hold on smooth surfaces. PL1500 through PL3500 are 30' wide, while PL4500, PL7000, and PL8500 are 36' wide. Remember, pipe outside diameter and weight are key factors in choosing the right lifter. The PL2500 weighs 350 lbs and has dimensions of 42 × 42 × 42 in.
Using the Kenco PL2500 Pipe Lift is easy. First, check the outside diameter and weight of the pipe to make sure it's within the 14.00 - 23.00 inches and 2500 - pound capacity of the lift. Then, simply set the pipe grabber tongs down over the pipe. The legs will automatically grab and hold the pipe tightly. Lift the pipe and move it to the desired location. When you set the pipe down firmly, the legs will release. As for maintenance, keep the lift clean and free of debris. Check the rubber lining regularly. If it's worn out, replace it to ensure a good grip. Also, make sure to store the lift in a dry place to prevent rusting. Always remember that pipe outside diameter and weight are the main factors in choosing the correct lifter, so double - check before using the PL2500 on a new pipe.
