Block Grabs are frequently used in building sites and brickyards to lift awkward sized square or rectangular loadstacks of bricks, breeze blocks and by forklifts, mobile, gantry and Hiab lorry/truck cranes. Often referred to as a Scissor Grab due to the way their unique operation which incorporates a scissor like design, when the grab is raised gravity naturally causes the jaws to apply pressure and grip the load securely. Varying in capacity from 200 kg up to 2500 kg and a jaw capacity ranging up to 1130 mm and available with an automatic open/close function. The grabs that are designed for use on building sites always include rubber lined jaws to provide a solid grip on the load
