HBCT · Hook-on
Hook-on bale clamp with side shift and a large opening range, built for harsh, high-intensity work such as recycling. 1,800–3,700 kg.
When only the highest quality will do, the HBCT is the clamp to choose. It easily withstands harsh environments and high operational intensity, such as those found in the recycling industry. Its frame is specially designed to be the most robust in the industry, with an opening between the arms that was not previously possible.
Our T-profiles form the upper and lower beam of a torsion-rigid frame. Its hooks follow ISO standards, so the clamp moves easily to other masts and trucks, which suits rental and leasing on full-service agreements.
Side shift is standard and valve-controlled. The valve has double locking and adjustable pressure, and a built-in flow divider keeps the arms moving in sync. Replaceable PE liners keep friction low, and hoses follow common standards, so they can be replaced quickly if damaged.
