Why a Brick Grab is a Must-Have for Lorry Loader Operators

Lorry loaders are the workhorses of site delivery, but their performance depends on the attachments they use. A brick grab transforms a standard lorry loader into a highly efficient brick-handling machine, enabling operators to:

  • Lift full packs with confidence – get bricks off the truck and into position in one smooth movement.

  • Work faster – save time on every delivery with precise, controlled handling.

  • Stay safe – reduce manual handling and the risk of slips, drops, or damaged loads.

  • Tackle any pack size – with a wide gripping distance from 150 mm to 1,500 mm, the grab is versatile enough for different load dimensions.


The Design Difference: Built for Precision and Safety

What makes the Autoguide Brick Grab special is the clever design behind it. The fixed plunge depth and pivoting clamping arms, driven by heavy-duty gear-toothed quadrants, ensure perfectly balanced clamping force across every load.

Safety comes first too. Even if hydraulic pressure were to drop, the built-in non-return valve holds the clamp securely—keeping your brick packs safe and stable. And with replaceable rubber inserts on the compression rails, you can grip tightly without damaging the bricks themselves.

This means less stress for the operator, less risk of damage, and more trust in your equipment.


Key Specs That Work Hard for You
