More About This Product
The Invicta Mechanical Scissor Grab (Model ISG-6) is designed to lift, move and release numerous types of block and brick packs safely on a building site or yard. An alternative to the ISG-5, this smaller unit was introduced to secure smaller packs of bricks and blocks — suiting all requirements on site. Fully mechanically operated via the forklift without the driver leaving the safety of his seat, or via an overhead crane or HIAB. The ISG-6 features a fixed internal pack height and a 500–970mm span.

Suitable Applications
The ISG-6 is ideal for handling smaller packs of bricks and blocks on construction sites and in builders merchants' yards where the larger ISG-5 is not required.
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.
