The latest technology to come out of Schoenbeck’s German facility is the anti-object drop (AoD) safe lifting system, which makes no compromises with safety and is an industry-leader in vacuum handling technology.
Schoenbeck’s EliTE range of vacuum pipe lifter attachments are fully self-contained and specially designed for the rigours of pipeline construction sites today.
Acknowledged as one of the safest pipe handler’s around the world, the range comes fitted with operator indicators, alarms, sirens, vacuum pressure gauges as well as Schoenbeck’s state-of-the-art safe-lifting AoD system.
AoD is a world first in pipeline vacuum lifter attachments, reducing the human error risks associated with accidentally releasing a load during a lift.
The mechanical and electrical safety feature automatically activates once the load has been lifted, with an electronic signal sent to the lifter which shuts down the pipe release function until the load is safely lowered.
This is further supported by a twin button load release function requiring the operator to press two buttons at the same time to release the load.
The AoD system comes standard on the ELiTE 12TD and 12TD/CD2 models along with the ELiTE Lite model, with all models able to be tailored to suit client’s requirements.
