Suitable Applications
The ILY is essential for block laying operations on construction sites and in builders merchants' yards where block packs need to be positioned accurately and without swinging. Used in conjunction with the ISG-5 or ISG-6 scissor grab for lifting and placing block packs.
Attachments are chosen by load shape: drums, bulk bags and banded packs each need a different one, and every attachment moves the load centre forward and derates the truck.

- Insert the lifting pin from the yoke through the lifting eye of the scissor grab.
- Proceed to lift and position block packs as required.
Warning:
Do not shock load. Ensure heel pins are correctly fitted. Use only with compatible scissor grabs.
