HM-1 - Hook Placing Machine - Brochure

Solutions for the Prefab Concrete Industry VD WEERT Concrete Machines Hook placing machine HM-1 The HM-1 puts lifting- hooks or pins into pre-stressed prefab concrete slabs during production. The machine operates semi-automatic and is controlled by a operator friendly operating panel. The machine can put hooks into hollow core slabs and/or lifting pins into solid slabs. The hooks will be placed with concrete, for the solid slabs no additional concrete is necessary. The machine is provided with his own hopper which can be filled with the necessary concrete to place the hooks. All the necessary settings e.g. concrete amount and slab heights are easily adjustable in the operator panel. The machine movements are done by a hydraulic power pack. The use of lifting hooks in the slab increases the efficiency in lifting in the factory as well as on the building site, also the hooks eliminate the complexity of clamp. Lifting hooks have proven to reach over 50% faster handling on site. Also a big advantage of the lifting hooks is the possibility to connect a lifeline or safety fence on the hook while placing the slabs on the building site. So not only you will be working faster, it will also be safe The HM-1 will be build on customer and product specifications.
