Kenco Mechanical Pipe Hook (PH30000M)

Kenco Mechanical Pipe Hook – Efficient Heavy Pipe Handling Solution

Kenco PH30000 Pipe Hook Must-Know Heavy-Duty Pipe Lifting Performance
Reduce pipe handling time, increase productivity, and improve jobsite safety with the Kenco PH30000 Mechanical Pipe Hook. Built to handle large reinforced concrete pipes, this lifter allows a single operator to lift, position, and set pipe sections quickly and securely. Designed for efficiency, the PH30000 simplifies installation and boosts production while reducing labor costs.

With its 30,000 lb capacity, the PH30000 offers both mechanical slide and self-leveling configurations, providing control and precision during placement. Reinforced box-style construction ensures strength and stability, while full pad coverage maximizes grip and prevents damage to pipe surfaces during lifting.

Features:

• 30,000 lb Capacity: Handles large-diameter reinforced concrete pipes with confidence.

• Single-Operator Function: Lift, position, and set pipe sections quickly and safely with one operator.

• Self-Leveling or Manual Slide Options: Choose between automatic leveling or mechanical slide adjustment.

• Reinforced Box-Style Construction: Provides exceptional structural strength and stability.

• Full Pad Coverage: Ensures maximum contact area while preventing pipe surface damage.

• Universal Pipe Fit: Works with any standard 8-foot pipe segment, regardless of shape.

• Efficient Handling: Reduces time between picks, increasing overall production and profitability.

Product Description:

The Kenco PH30000 Mechanical Pipe Hook revolutionizes the way contractors handle large concrete or steel pipes. Designed for precision, safety, and speed, it allows one operator to complete pipe-laying tasks without requiring extra ground personnel. Its 30,000 lb lifting capacity accommodates large RCP (reinforced concrete pipe) sections, making it an essential tool for utility, drainage, and infrastructure applications.

The PH30000 features a durable mechanical slide adjustment across the top beam, allowing the operator to control the pipe’s angle for accurate alignment during placement or removal. This ensures smooth, controlled operation even in confined or uneven jobsite conditions.

Whether you’re lowering stormwater pipes, sewer lines, or culvert sections, the PH30000 makes the process faster, safer, and more efficient. With reinforced box-style construction, it withstands the harsh demands of heavy-duty work while maintaining balanced load control.

Self-Leveling and Mechanical Options

The Pipe Hook is available in two configurations—the Mechanical Slide version (like the PH30000) or the Self-Leveling model for automatic pipe alignment. Both versions are compatible with standard 8-foot pipe segments, ensuring universal use across job types. These options give operators flexibility to match lifting precision with project requirements.

Reinforced Strength and Full Pad Protection

The PH30000’s reinforced box-style frame delivers superior strength and rigidity, reducing flex and increasing stability during lifting. Large Kenco elastomer pads provide full surface contact, distributing pressure evenly to prevent cracking, spalling, or edge damage. This design guarantees safe handling even for delicate or coated pipes.

Ease of Operation and Safety

Operation is simple: attach rigging—including slings and shackles—to the lift eye and connect to your excavator or crane. The lifter’s manual slide enables easy balance adjustments before or during lifting. Once set, the operator can maneuver and place each pipe section quickly and safely without additional alignment tools.

High Productivity for Pipe-Laying Projects

By allowing one operator to handle large pipe sections efficiently, the PH30000 Pipe Hook dramatically reduces setup time and labor requirements. This results in faster installation cycles, improved site safety, and higher profitability for contractors. Its robust design ensures consistent performance over years of daily use, making it a smart investment for any utility or drainage contractor.
