Material Handling Equipment for Moving Heavy Materials On Site

Moving heavy materials by hand is slow. It's also hard on the body over a full day. This page covers three different ways to solve that. Lifting grabs and clamps handle slabs, pavers, and pipe. They grip the material mechanically instead of relying on hand strength. Track buggies and mini dumpers move loose material like dirt or debris across a site. They do it faster than a wheelbarrow and with less strain. Debris chutes and conveyors move material away from a work area entirely. They're built for jobs where material needs to travel down from height or across a distance.

Fit matters more than brand for most of this equipment. A grab or clamp has to match the material it's lifting. Slab thickness, pipe diameter, and paver size all change which attachment works. A buggy or dumper needs enough capacity for the job without being too large to maneuver where the work actually is.

Probst covers lifting grabs and clamps. Makinex and Wacker Neuson cover track buggies and mini dumpers. Imer adds more dumper options. Rubi Tools covers debris chutes. Clairco covers conveyors. Cortag rounds out the smaller handling accessories.
