Abstract: A multiple-layout grapple (I, 100), for lifting and handling loads, including: a support frame (2); a suspension hook (3) of the grapple according to a suspension line (L); and at least three hinge seats (5) connected to said support frame (2), each seat (5) carrying a corresponding gripping arm (10), hinged so as to be adapted to rotate about a closing axis (0) orthogonal to the direction of the suspension line (L) between an open position and a closed position; wherein at least one of said hinge seats (5) is a hinge seat rotatably connected to said support frame (2) through a respective pin (7), so as to be adapted to rotate about a configuration axis (C) orthogonal to said closing axis (0) and to make said grapple to assume a predefined operating configuration.

Abstract: A gripper device for the lifting and motion of loads. The present gripper is equipped with arms which can be actuated between a position of minimum opening and a position of maximum opening. In particular, since such arms are hinged in several points and can be moved independently, the gripper is capable to assume different intermediate configurations between the minimum opening position and the maximum opening position, by allowing to lift and/or move heavy or cumbersome loads with different shapes and sizes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a self-propelled machine, particularly for the aerial handling of loads, even medium-length loads, such as for example tube bundles or the like.

Abstract: The present invention provides a machine for the aerial handling of a load. The machine comprises a bearing slide, an aerial suspension device slidably mounted on the bearing slide, a coupling and dragging device for coupling and dragging the load on the bearing slide, an actuator for a longitudinal movement of the support plate along the bearing slide, so as to continuously balance possible oscillations due to weight shifting during load handling operations, and load supporting and stabilizing elements provided along the bearing slide. The aerial suspension device includes a support plate slidably mounted below the bearing slide, a support structure formed integral with the support plate and having an interior allowing a passage of the load, and a suspension element for suspending the machine to a lifting device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an integrated automatic balancing system for aerial tube bundle extractors.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a machine for handling suspended loads, particularly loads of elongated dimensions, such as tubes, tube bundles, or the like.

Abstract: A heat exchanger bundle extractor apparatus (1), comprises: a supporting base (2, 29, 40), onto which a hoisting column (6) is rotatably mounted; a guide frame (7), mounted onto supports (8) on the hoisting column (6), and controlled hoisting and lowering means (9) for the moving of said supports (8) and said guide frame (7) along said hoisting column (6); a push/pull device (14) suitable for coupling to a respective front flange of a bundle, mounted on said guide frame (7); longidudinal translation means (15) apt to longitudinally moving said guide frame (7) with respect to said supports (8); and transversal translation means (19) mounted at said supports (8) and apt to transversally move said guide frame (7) with respect to said supports (8) and to the hoisting column (6).
