Brick Clamp
• High Efficiency: Transports entire brick stacks in one operation, reducing manual labor and forklift trips, with productivity significantly higher than loose handling.
• Brick Protection: Wear-resistant clamping arms and anti-slip features prevent damage or breakage during transport.
• Wide Adaptability: Automatically adjusts to different stack thicknesses, compatible with various brick types.
• Simple Operation: Controlled via the forklift’s handle, requiring no additional training.
The forklift brick clamp is a specialized attachment designed to handle stacked bricks (such as red bricks, cement bricks, etc.). It secures the entire brick stack through mechanical clamping, replacing manual handling or loose fork transportation to enable efficient and safe loading, unloading, and stacking. Commonly used in construction sites, building material markets, brick factories, and similar settings, it significantly improves operational efficiency while protecting brick integrity.
Structural Components
Key parts include:
• Clamping Arms (Plates): Directly contact the bricks, typically made of high-strength steel as parallel plates (with wear-resistant surfaces). They pivot to open/close, adapting to various stack thicknesses (commonly 300mm–800mm).
• Hydraulic System (Main Drive): Comprises a hydraulic cylinder and control valve, powered by the forklift’s hydraulic system to drive the arms’ opening/closing. Provides stable clamping force to prevent the stack from loosening.
• Adjustment Mechanism: Automatically adapts to different stack thicknesses (e.g., single-layer to multi-layer stacks), with some models offering manual fine-tuning for precise fit.
• Connection Frame: Mounts the clamp onto the forklift’s fork carriage, syncing with the forklift’s lifting/tilting functions and transmitting power.
• Anti-Slip Design: Some models feature textured surfaces or soft pads on the clamping arms to increase friction and prevent sliding during transport.
Working Principle
During operation:
1. Setup: The forklift positions its forks under the base of the brick stack.
2. Clamping: The operator activates the hydraulic system via the control handle. Hydraulic oil drives the arms inward to grip the stack evenly from both sides. The anti-slip design secures the bricks, while the adjustment mechanism matches the stack’s thickness.
3. Handling: With the stack clamped, the forklift lifts and moves it to the target location (e.g., construction site pile, warehouse shelf). The tilt function helps align the stack if needed.
4. Release: At the destination, the arms open to safely place the stack.
Typical Application Scenarios
• Construction Sites: Unloading bricks to building areas or temporary stacks.
• Building Material Markets/Warehouses: Storing, sorting, and stacking bricks on shelves.
• Brick Factories: Transporting finished brick stacks from production lines to trucks.
• Logistics Transport: Loading/unloading bricks from trucks or containers.
The brick clamp enhances the safety, efficiency, and protection of brick handling through mechanized clamping, making it an essential attachment in the building materials industry.
