SL6000 Pipe Tines (Large) Set of Large Pipe Tines for Kenco SL6000 Superlift SystemThe Kenco PL36T50 Large Pipe Tine Set equips the SL6000 Superlift to lift and place big pipe sections with precision and control. With a 36" to 50" grip range and a 6,000 lb working capacity, these tines securely handle large-diameter concrete, steel, or HDPE pipe—delivering safe, hydraulic-free performance on demanding jobsites. Features: 36”–50” Grip Range: Sized for common large-diameter pipes and culverts used in utility and drainage projects. 6,000 lb Capacity: Purpose-built for the SL6000 Superlift to handle heavy daily lifting cycles. GripSmart Technology: Consistent clamping pressure with smooth, automatic release when the pipe is set. Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Reinforced jaws and wear surfaces for long service life. Quick-Swap Compatibility: Interchangeable with other SL6000 tine sets to adapt instantly to new tasks. Product Description: The PL36T50 Large Pipe Tines turn the Kenco SL6000 Superlift into a high-precision, large-diameter pipe handler for municipal, industrial, and infrastructure work. Optimized for 36"–50" pipe diameters, the jaw geometry embraces the pipe’s curvature to increase surface contact, reduce slippage, and keep picks centered—key advantages when threading sections into trenches, saddles, or tight alignments. Built from high-strength structural steel and engineered for repeated duty, the PL36T50 resists flex and wear in harsh field conditions. Kenco’s GripSmart Technology applies balanced clamping force as the lift takes tension, conforming to round surfaces and maintaining control during travel. When the pipe is set, the system releases automatically, opening the tongs for the next pick without manual resets. Operation is fully mechanical—there are no hoses, pumps, or hydraulic hookups, which means faster setup and fewer maintenance points. Efficient Heavy-Diameter Pipe Handling Large pipe moves demand steady control. The scissor-action layout promotes even load distribution and reduces tilt and oscillation, helping operators place sections accurately on bedding or into couplers. On repetitive runs, the auto-release shortens cycle times—critical for crews installing long stretches of storm or sanitary lines on tight schedules. Versatile Across Materials and Sites Within its 36"–50" range, the PL36T50 grips concrete, steel, ductile, and HDPE pipe with confidence. Use it for stormwater and sanitary sewer, industrial conveyance lines, or culvert installations. When the task shifts to barriers, logs, or smaller pipe, swap tine sets on the same SL6000 Superlift frame in minutes—no separate lifter required. Rugged Build, Low Maintenance Every component is specified for durability: reinforced jaw structure, robust welds, and wear-resistant contact areas hold up under daily production work. With no hydraulic components to service, routine inspection and cleaning keep maintenance simple and downtime low, helping reduce total cost of ownership. Safety and Standards The PL36T50 is engineered to meet ANSI/ASME B30.20 and BTH-1 guidelines with a minimum 3:1 safety factor. The predictable mechanical action, centered lifting geometry, and secure grip help protect crews and assets—especially important near open trenches, shoring, and active traffic. Applications Large-diameter storm and sanitary pipe placement Culvert installation and drainage improvements Industrial and municipal utility projects Staging, loading, and trench set operations Why SL6000 + PL36T50 This pairing delivers compact power and hydraulic-free reliability for big-pipe work. It rigs quickly, maneuvers easily in constrained spaces, and adapts instantly through the Superlift’s modular tine ecosystem. The result is faster placement, fewer delays, and dependable day-to-day performance on critical utility jobs.
