Pitkittäinen reunakivipihti OEM 1M – 1 m pituus, manuaalinen reunakiven nostotyökalu

Longitudinal curb tongs OEM 1M are a manual curb lifting tool with a 1 m working length designed for longitudinal gripping of individual curbstones. The tool enables precise positioning and controlled lifting of curbs during installation, repair or transport. Its simple mechanical design is intended for use by construction crews and road workers handling standard concrete or stone kerbstones.

Advantages

The longitudinal design provides stable contact along the length of the curbstone, reducing the risk of tipping or uneven load during lifting. With a 1 m reach the tongs allow operators to handle longer kerbstones from a safe stance, reducing bending and physical strain. The manual operation requires no power source, offering straightforward use on sites without electricity and simplified maintenance compared with powered lifting devices.

Suitable for

• Installing or repositioning concrete and stone curbstones
• Small to medium road and pavement repair jobs
• Loading and unloading curbstones during transport
• Worksites where a portable, non-powered lifting tool is needed

Key specifications

• Working length: 1 m designed for longitudinal grip
• Operation: manual (mechanical clamping/grip)
• Application: longitudinal lifting and positioning of single curbstones
• Suitable material types: concrete and stone kerbstones
• Use environment: outdoor construction and roadwork sites

How to use

Position the tongs along the long side of the curbstone so the gripping faces contact the stone evenly. Engage the manual clamping mechanism according to the tool design until a secure grip is achieved, then lift using proper lifting posture and coordinated movements with any assisting personnel. Move the curbstone into the required position and release the clamp only after the curbstone is stable in its final placement. Inspect the tool before each use for deformation or wear on gripping surfaces and mechanisms.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and safety boots, and follow site lifting safety procedures. Avoid lifting loads beyond the comfortable manual capacity of the crew; for very heavy or awkward pieces, use mechanical lifting equipment or additional manpower. Regularly check contact surfaces for wear and keep the mechanism clean and lightly lubricated if specified by the manufacturer.
