Vacuum pipe lifters break new ground SCHOENBECK GmbH and Co KG, Germany, has designed a new engineered vacuum pipe lifter range called ELiTE. The company says the machine is easy to maintain and its training program trains the operator in material handling, safety, start check procedures and general trouble shooting. Schoenbeck claims that the machine's multiple excavator yoke with hydraulic rotator and oscillation brake assembly gives customers an extra flexible cutting edge and these are also fully adjustable, allowing the vacuum lifters to be coupled to just about any available excavator model and size that is presently on the market.

Pipe rotators for clamping and tilting KISTLER pipe rotators are used for clamping, rotating, and tilting pipes in manual and automatic welding, mainly in the field of pipe construction. The ‘U’ range features three machines: U150 (20 to 200mm diameter pipe), U500 (20 to 400mm diameter) and U1000 (25 to 800mm diameter). The pipe rotators with clamping roller system can be used for pipes with elbows, tee pieces, or other offset loads and a wide range of pipes can be clamped. Centring is quick and precise, and clamping does not require a chuck or clamping shoe. The pipe can be clamped at its centre of gravity, and tilting moments and supports are unnecessary in most cases and it is possible to centre two pipes with the same diameter.
