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.
A special version even features exchangeable jaws to further adjust the gripping range of the manipulator.
