To save effort in carrying block material, it is recommended to use a special device. It is distinguished by its simplicity of design, giving the rather heavy unit a similarity to hand luggage. To carry it, just grab it by the handle with the device and take it to the place intended for it. If you decide to build a house on your own, then a grip for foam blocks will help you significantly increase the speed of work.
Device design, operating principle
The device consists of four curved levers with a hinge connection. It can be hung on a lift hook if there is a special earring, and several blocks can be moved at once.
The load is clamped automatically at the moment of lifting. The clamping force depends on the weight and ratio of the gripping arms. Spontaneous loss of blocks is excluded.
To grab material:
- hang the device on the beam hook and place it under the load;
- move the locking hook to the upper position;
- lift the device along with the load and move it to the desired location.
To release cargo:
- the device is lowered to the surface;
- the stopper is moved down;
- The gripper rises without blocks.
What types of furniture moving kits are there?
Leading manufacturers are doing everything possible to make life easier for their fans. Every year a variety of new products are released to help people at home and at work.

To rearrange furniture using a set, you do not need to empty it of things, boxes, drawers, books. This will help significantly save time and prevent a person from getting tired. This is especially important for those who have back problems or for whom any physical activity is contraindicated.
The products are suitable not only for home use. They will become an indispensable attribute in the country, in office premises, in manufacturing plants, in public places, and in medical institutions.
Rules for using the device
There is nothing difficult about operating a home mover. Even an amateur can handle it. You don't need to have significant physical strength. It is enough to carry out simple manipulations with the device. Experts recommend taking the following actions:
Procedure for carrying out manipulations | Brief description of actions |
Step one | Using a handle-lever you need to lift a corner of the furniture. |
Step two | The product is placed under a raised angle. |
Step three | Manipulations with the remaining edges are carried out similarly to the above points. The final result is that all corners of the structure stand on the transport products. |
Step four | Move the item to its destination. |
Step five | Remove the structure from the headsets using the lever. |
Despite the light weight of the product, about one and a half kilograms, it is able to move quite bulky and heavy objects, regardless of the distance. The efforts of one person are enough to make changes to the interior of the room.
Experts advise when working with a conveyor to pay attention to the following nuances:
- do not rush to install devices;
- you need to move furniture using special sets carefully (rush is inappropriate and can lead to negative consequences);
- It is advisable to secure yourself with assistants (one or more). This will help avoid troubles in the event of a possible dropped load.
Trolleys for transporting goods
The device falls into the category of convenient and simple. Perfectly performs the main task - helping to rearrange pieces of furniture from place to place. Models differ in carrying capacity. The average is around 150 kg. In production, as a rule, durable plastic is used.
The design has the form of a rotating platform. Belongs to the category of household appliances. Platform with a biaxial base. It can rotate, allowing for various maneuvers within one room. Some designs make it possible to overcome minor obstacles in the form of an interior threshold. Each axle is equipped with four wheels. The diameter of the axle varies depending on the manufacturer.
The cart is easy and simple to use. It is enough to place it under the main support points of the transported item. The procedure does not require much effort. A distinctive feature of the device is excellent maneuverability. The possibility of damage to the floor covering is completely eliminated.
How to choose the right model
Everyone's selection criteria are different. Some are interested in the quality of the materials used, others are ready to give preference to budget options, and a third purchase products with additional functions. Which company is better to buy a product depends on personal preferences. On sale you can encounter a huge range of products of domestic and foreign production. However, the brand does not have any influence on the main characteristics. You need to pay close attention to the following parameters:
- Maximum load capacity. Various options are available. Some are able to withstand a load of 100 kg, others are designed for a weight of 500 kg.
- Lifting height. We are talking about the possibility of moving large loads, equipped with legs and without them.
- Design features. The lifting device can be folding, manual, differing in the length of the forks.
- Availability of additional options. It is desirable that the device has a wheel stopper. This will help stop heavy headsets in time.
- The strength of the materials used. Main selection criterion. After all, the main purpose of the set is to help rearrange heavy loads. Flimsy devices will not cope with such a task.
It is advisable to purchase several carts at once. This will greatly simplify the process of changing the interior of the room.
Types of grips
The device is a universal claw-type device. It is used in construction work and in other industries. With the help of such a grip, you can easily carry loads to their destination. The gripper cheeks are equipped with linings that prevent mechanical damage to the material. In accordance with GOST, the gripper is made of high-quality steel material and coated with yellow paint.
Using such a device, you can remove blocks from pallets, carry them, stack them, and load them onto a vehicle.
The tool is divided into two groups:
- transverse - you can use it to hold and move the block alone, using both hands. Carrying is possible with one hand;
- longitudinal - compresses the material, which you have to carry with a partner. The tool is larger in size; you can move several blocks at the same time.
The first group can have one of 3 grip sizes - 25 - 30, 35 - 40, 45 - 50. The second group is made in only one version - 60 - 65.
It should be noted that each type of device differs. The transverse set consists of two symmetrically located grips. The mechanism is such that one block of a certain size can be grasped and carried, corresponding to the range of the device.
It is more important to use hand grips for blocks with smooth surfaces. Their configuration reduces the consumption of adhesive, but there are some difficulties in moving the material. The gripping device will not only make your work easier, but will also help you create high-quality masonry thanks to the high precision of installation of the block material.
When choosing a suitable tool, it is recommended to first determine the thickness of the gas silicate walls.
Advantages and disadvantages of the tool
Let's summarize all the pros and cons of the device, with the help of which work can be done much faster
The unit cannot be damaged during transportation
The tool is safe for the person moving aerated concrete
The grips are easy to use, the block can not only be carried, but also quickly and easily turned over
The block fixation is very reliable
Thanks to the grip, you can install the block in the masonry most accurately
Can be used not only for gas block, but also for brick and other types of masonry material
If the tool is non-adjustable, it cannot be adjusted to a different size.
How the device works
The tool works as follows. The two arms, arranged symmetrically, are bolted together like scissors. The upper parts of the ends, coming together, transmit forces to the opposite (lower) lever ends, which grip the block ribs on both sides.
Under the influence of gravity (its own mass of the foam block material), the compression intensifies, the reliability of the grip creates the opportunity to carry the block, rearrange it or raise it to a certain height.
If the levers are long, or two tools are connected transversely by a handle, it becomes possible to carry several blocks at once. True, in this case you will need the help of a partner.
In an adjustable gripper for foam blocks, the length of the upper or lower arm can be changed, taking into account the upcoming use of the tool.
For individual construction, standard blocks with rectangular shapes are used, so the conventional design of the gripping device is most often used.

Making the capture yourself
It is best to first find drawings of a gripper for foam blocks on the Internet. The work will be performed in the following sequence:
- We take the plates, measure 16.7 cm from the edge, and make transverse slits. This is where the future arms will bend. Once assembly is complete, the slots are welded.
- On the longer side, 3.3 cm from the slot, drill a 6 mm hole. The central axis of rotation will be arranged here.
- We connect the levers with a bolt, do not tighten the nut too much, screw on the locknut. This will create free rotation and there will be no unwinding.
- The remaining fasteners are connected in the same way.
- Preparing the hand grip. To mark the holes, we apply the plate to the upper edges of the spread arms. At the crosshair points we mark places for holes (6 mm).
- Using an 8 mm drill, at the upper end of each plate we make a row of several holes to create a longitudinal slot, the size of which is 1.6 x 0.8 cm. This will make it possible for unhindered sliding of connections and changing the gripping parameters at the time of crimping or releasing the block material.
- Metal corners (40 mm) are welded to the lower sections of each lever element at right angles, which act as pliers. We select their size taking into account the width of the aerated concrete material (from 10 to 15 cm). To make the fit as accurate as possible, the corners should be applied one by one to the block ribs, the lower edges of the “scissors” should be placed on them and welded in place.
To make it convenient to use the tool, you need to put pieces of rubber hose on the handles and wrap them with linoleum.
When the grip is lowered onto the block, the corners grasp its sides. Lifting it by the handle, we strengthen the crimp several times, holding the block as if with pliers. And when such a device is not required when laying the first row, then with increasing height the need for it increases.
To ensure that the surface of the block does not get chipped and the grip is reliable, experts recommend gluing pieces of rubber onto the working surface of the corners.
There are other models, invented by the people and made with their own hands, but the principle of operation is the same in each.
A device for forming a group of bricks and transferring them to a trolley
1. DEVICE FOR FORMING A GROUP OF BRICKS AND TRANSFERING THEM TO A Trolley, containing a receiving table, a rotary tilter, a double-strand conveyor-storage between the streams of which there are platforms movable in the vertical direction, a transfer trolley installed in the guides, a drive carriage with a gripper and a device for moving platforms, characterized in that, in order to improve the quality of the resulting bricks, the device for moving the platforms is made in the form of a power cylinder and a three-lever mechanism and a double-arm lever hinged on the conveyor storage unit, connected to each other and to the power cylinder by rods; the platforms are equipped with brackets with additional double arms levers, at the upper ends of which stops are mounted for moving rows of bricks, and the lower ends are connected to the conveyor-storage via spring-loaded rods.
1 The invention relates to the mechanization and automation of labor-intensive processes in the manufacture of bricks ri can be used in the building materials industry, the production of refractories and ceramics. An automatic machine for placing bricks on a trolley is known, including a traverse with grippers sitting on rods moving along guides in the traverse, and the rod with the gripper is connected by means of a cable to a counterweight 13 that balances them. The disadvantages of the machine are the large dimensions and metal consumption of the balancing device, which is closest to the invention is a device for forming a group of bricks and transferring them to a trolley, containing a receiving table, a rotary tilter, a two-handle conveyor-storage, between the streams of which there are platforms movable in the vertical direction, a transfer trolley installed in the guides, a drive carriage with a gripper and a device for moving platforms 2. However, the known device is characterized by a large number of mechanisms, misorientation of bricks relative to the longitudinal axis of the conveyors, due to which the group gripper does not always sit on the bricks to clamp and transfer them, which causes destruction of the bricks, failure of the gripping elements of the group gripper, and program failure , stopping the machine. This entails a decrease in the output of finished products and a greater number of defects. The purpose of the invention is to improve the quality of the resulting bricks. This goal is achieved by the fact that in a device for forming a group of bricks and transferring them to a trolley, containing a receiving table, a rotary tilter, a two-strand conveyor-storage device, between the streams of which there are platforms movable in the vertical direction, a transfer trolley installed in guides, a drive carriage with a gripper and a device for moving platforms, the latter is made in the form of a power cylinder and a three-lever mechanism and a double-arm lever are hingedly mounted on a conveyor-storage device, connected to each other and. with power cylinder rods, the platforms are equipped with brackets with additional double-armed levers, on the upper ends of which stops are mounted for moving rows of bricks, and the lower ends are connected to the conveyor-accumulator by means of spring-loaded rods. In addition, the carriage is equipped with a U-shaped bracket with a guide sleeve and a stepped rod, which is connected to the carriage drive and connected to the U-shaped bracket by means of an elastic element. In fig. 1 shows the device in front view; in fig. 2 — the same, side view; in fig. 3 - shelves with movable stops j in Fig. 4 - U-shaped bracket with a spring-loaded stepped rod. The device for forming a group of bricks and transferring them to a trolley contains a stationary table 1 with U-shaped grooves for the passage of shelves of a rotary tilter 2, a two-handled conveyor-storage 4 with transport branches 3 for receiving bricks from the tilter 2 and accumulating a group of bricks. , movable platforms 5 located between the transport branches 3 and below them, hinged on double-armed levers 6 and a three-lever mechanism 7, in turn hinged on the frame 8 of the conveyor-storage 4, with a double-armed lever 6 of each platform 5 is connected by a rod 9 with a three-lever mechanism 7 of the same platform 5. The three-lever mechanism 7 of each platform 5 is connected by rods 10 to a rod 11 of the cylinder 12 of the pads 5. Additional double-arm levers 14 are hingedly attached to the brackets 12, to the upper shoulders of which stops 15 are attached, and the lower arms are connected by a hinge ::o with a rod 16 to a frame 8, while the rod 16 is also connected to the frame 8 by a spring 17. The transfer cart 18 is made with guides 19, on which a carriage 20 is mounted. grip 21, on the platform of which a U-shaped bracket 22 with a guide sleeve 23 is mounted, in which there is a stepped rod 24 connected to a lifting cable 25. and interacting through a spring 26 with a U-shaped bracket 22. On the transfer cart 18 there is a hydraulic cylinder 27 for lifting the carriage 20 with a gripper 21, and to move the transfer cart 18, hydraulic cylinders 29 and 30 are installed on the frame 28, connected to the transfer cart by cables 31 and 32. The device works as follows. After feeding two bricks 33 to a fixed receiving table 1 with U-shaped grooves for passing the shelves of the tilter 2, the latter transfers them to the transporting branches 3 of the transporter-storage 4 and orients them from a flat position to an edge position. After the accumulation of the required group of bricks 34 on the branches 3, the rod 11 of the cylinder 12 begins to move upward and, by means of rods 10 and 9, rotates the three-lever mechanism 7 and the double-arm lever 6, pivotally mounted on the frame 8 of the conveyor-storage 4, which move the platforms 5 pivotally connected to them, located between the branches 3 and just below them, up and away from the longitudinal axis of the conveyor-storage 4, the platforms 5 rise above the branches 3 and move with them away from the longitudinal axis of the conveyor-storage 4. The brackets 13 mounted on them move together with the platforms 5 , on which additional double-arm levers 14 are hinged, on the upper arms of which stops 15 are installed, moving to the longitudinal axis of the conveyor-storage 4 and moving in the same direction each row of the Group of bricks 34 relative to the platforms 5 due to the movement of the bracket 13 and the interaction of the lower arm of the additional two-arm lever 14 by means of a rod 16 with the frame 8 of the conveyor-storage 4. Thus, due to the movement of the platforms 5 from the longitudinal axis of the conveyor-storage 4 and the change
