Pole & Pipe Handler

POLE & PIPE HANDLER

Designed for telehandlers or excavators, Rotobec's Pole and Pipe Handler allows you to position, remove and stack support posts used in the construction of bridges and highways. It can also handle other pipes or poles, and vertically position them. Their structure allows for fast and safe material handling.

Pole & Pipe Handler

Due to their shape, our Pole and Pipe Handler can pick up a pole or pipe off the ground, place it in a vertical position, and firmly hold it in place while it is being attached.

Used in building bridges to place, remove and restack pipes used in bridge falsework, quickly and safely. The 2209ROD Pipe Handler opens to accept up to 22" pipe diameter and closes to 9" diameter. It can be mounted on excavator and high reach telescopic lift truck (telehandler).
