Accident prevention with Round Grab RG-75/125-Safelock

Standard commercial Round Grabs on constructions sites may fail to hold on to pipes so that pipes may slip out of the grip in critical situations. This may happen in cases of operator error, when pipes inadvertently hit the edge of the trench or the top of a support traverse for example. In such cases, the Round Grab load lightens, the rope slackens, and the pipe may slip out. On a regular construction site, it may not always be possible to keep workers at a safe distance during pipe installation. Very hazardous situations may develop when people work in the trench underneath a slipping pipe.
