Fit before lift
Engage and check the interface while the load is supported. Follow the product instructions and site manual-handling procedure.

Create the grip. Then move the load.
PSC Manual Handling Tools for Industrial Lifting and Carrying
PSC manual handling tools introduce a defined lifting or carrying interface for pipes, hoses, industrial components and gas cylinders where direct gripping creates hand, finger or posture exposure.

The exposure
Awkward loads turn fingers into lifting points.
A better interface can improve the grip position before the load leaves its support.
Selection begins with the object: an open-ended pipe, a large hose, a gas cylinder or a smaller heavy component. The tool must fit the load and the site's approved manual-handling limits.
Four handling routes
Compare Manual Handling Tools by the Object Being Moved.
Each tool creates a different connection. Confirm the load geometry, carrying position, number of operators and permitted manual-lifting method before selection.
01 · Small heavy componentsTask control Selection principle
PSC Lift Assist
Manual lifting aids for moving smaller heavy items such as pipe sections, ironwork and tubing while reducing unnecessary bending and direct hand contact.
View product →02 · Open-ended pipePSC EZY-Lift
A rubber-coated lifting interface designed for use as a pair, with one operator at each end of a suitable small pipe section.
View product →03 · Hoses and larger pipePSC Handle-Tech
A locking carrying handle that attaches around a compatible hose or pipe, allowing it to be moved from a more natural standing position.

Define the load surface, required hand position and carrying route before selecting the tool.
Selection overview
Select Manual Handling Tools to Match the Object.
These tools assist manual handling; they do not increase the permissible lifting limit or replace mechanical lifting where the task requires it.
| Object or task | Likely tool | Confirm before selection |
|---|---|---|
| Small heavy component, short pipe or ironwork | PSC Lift Assist | Connection point, operator position and approved lifting method. |
| Suitable small open-ended pipe | PSC EZY-Lift | Pipe opening, full tool engagement and coordinated two-person lift. |
| Large hose or compatible pipe | PSC Handle-Tech | Outside size, secure closure and carrying route. |
| Compatible gas cylinder | PSC GasGrab | Cylinder diameter, secure fit and movement required. |
Find The Hand™
Look at the grip before the lift.
If fingers are placed beneath an edge, wrapped around a difficult surface or used to drag the object, redesign the interface before movement begins.
Confirm the handling interface
Show us how the object is carried.
Send a photograph or short video showing the object, current hand position and travel path. PSC can help identify the appropriate handling route.
