What is a Block Grab?
Block Grabs, often referred to as Scissor Grabs, are frequently used across building sites and brickyards to lift awkwardly-sized square or rectangular stacks of bricks/breezeblocks, with many variants capable of lifting via forklifts, mobile gantries, and Hiab lorry/truck cranes.
Due to their unique operation, which incorporates a scissor-like design, when the grab is raised, gravity naturally causes the jaws to apply pressure and grip the load securely. The grabs that are specifically designed for use on building sites will always include rubber-lined jaws to provide a solid grip on your load.
