Handle-Tech
This sturdy, removable handle (photo) can be locked onto a hose or pipe, allowing personnel to easily move heavy segments of piping or hoses from a natural, upright position. This device helps to reduce the risk of hand injuries, back injuries, slips and falls, hose decoupling and other accidents. Constructed from long-glass-fiber-reinforced nylon, the portable handle can be used in a variety of industrial environments, and it can be engaged and disengaged from the pipe or hose using one smooth motion, says the company. The device has a safe lifting capacity of 400 lb, and a breaking point of 1,125 lb. — Handle-Tech Ltd., Edmonton, Alta.
