Kinshofer GmbH products

The technically unique KM 332 brick stack grapple with hydraulic parallel squeeze is a versatile tool for palletized and non-palletized materials – available with rigid or adjustable (V) plunge depth. The KM 333 is the reinforced type, also as rigid or adjustable (V) version. 
Both versions are versatile tools with synchronized arms that feature safety of work, an easy use and a long service life. The compression rails are equipped with durable and replaceable rubber inserts.

Handle wallboards and other lying building materials up to a size of 1250 mm / 49 in height and 460 mm / 18 in depth. The tine spread can be adjusted to the sheets that have to be handled. The boards can be lifted and folded into a vertical position and are clamped between tines and frame, preventing them from sliding during handling. The load itself is protected from damage by semi-tapered forged tines with rollers and pads. A special version with second suspension point on the main beam enables the unloading of lying boards through narrow openings in the wall. For the US, the forks are also available as LS low storage version, especially designed for »over-the-cab-storage« where limited space requires a very narrow fork frame and overall width. 

The KINSHOFER container discharge attachments with ring or KINSHOFER mushroom system are characterised by short cycle times and an attractive acquisition price. Containers can be emptied even faster and more cost effectively with a one-man operation. Depending on the type, the units can either discharge containers with ring or Kinshofer mushroom system. The KM 921 combi-unit can discharge both kinds of containers. The units feature a protection against damage of the container by an automatic lift stop and are partly equipped with an additional height control system. The KM 920-1 is available in two versions: A and B, whereat version A has a load capacity of up to 4500 kg / 9900 lbs, version B only up to 2500 kg / 5500 lbs.

The KINSHOFER manipulators are hydraulically operated attachments that are used for the positioning of tubes or poles, suitable for the use on loader cranes with three functions (flange mounting on the mechanical extension of the crane). The manoeuvrability is guaranteed by three hydraulic functions: gripping, lifting and turning of straight round poles. The precise operation is assured by continuous rotation, equipped with mechanically operating, hydraulic pilot controlled brake to prevent an unintentional rotation.
