CAMBBA trials kerbing system


A-Plant is supplying two Jumbo BV Kerb Lifters to CAMBBA, the consortium building the Birmingham Northern Relief Road, for trials.

The vacuum kerb lifters are being used for health and safety implication and for their capability of laying up to 300m of kerbstones per day.

Supplied via Kwik Split, these machines take most of the weight of lifting kerbstone up to 150kg in weight, allowing the operator to easily position the kerbstone without manual handling. The vacuum is generated via a Honda petrol engine and the machine has a 4m-long swinging mast that can swivel through 270û for positioning of the kerbstone.

It can be mounted on any wheeled machine that has forks (to which it is clamped) and is equipped with its own forks to carry a pallet of blocks.

The machine makes laying kerbstones a one-man operation and its foam seal is said to be long lasting and allows blocks that do not have a smooth surface to be lifted in safety.
