    2 block grippers per block are used
  • Each block gripper consists of a welded steel frame in which the gripper arms with toothed racks are driven
  • As fresh block gripper, the lateral carrying rails are equipped with additional perforated plates so that an optimum hold of the blocks with a minimum contact pressure is ensured
  • For the tranverse movement, the block grippers are locked in the upper lifting position

  • If required by the application, a separate transverse movement of both block grippers is also possible as an option
