Below-The-Hook Lifting Devices
Manual Twin Jaw Gripper

Manual Twin Jaw Gripper

A twin jaw manual gripper provides secure, balanced lifting across a range of product sizes using mechanically synchronised jaws that automatically keep the load centred.

Each attachment is designed around your product geometry and handling process. As one jaw is moved, the second jaw follows in perfect synchronisation, ensuring the load remains balanced throughout the lifting operation. This makes the twin jaw gripper particularly suitable for applications where products share common lifting features but vary in width or size.

The fully mechanical design requires no pneumatic, hydraulic or electrical power, providing a simple, reliable and economical solution for lower-frequency lifting operations.

Products with common lifting features but varying widths, where balanced, self-centring lifting is required without the need for powered gripping equipment.

Need something different?

Every product is different. Your twin jaw gripper can be adapted to suit product geometry, gripping features, opening range and handling constraints.

Jaw profiles, contact materials, handle positions and gripping arrangements can all be customised to suit the application. The synchronised jaw mechanism can be engineered to accommodate product families with varying dimensions whilst maintaining balanced lifting and consistent load positioning.

We can also offer powered grips, single jaw grips and rotation grippers too.

The options shown cover the majority of lifting applications. If your product falls outside these specifications, don’t worry — bespoke solutions are a core part of what we do. Our engineers will review your application and recommend the most suitable solution for safe, efficient handling.
