Wire Mesh Handler FAQs
What is a wire mesh handler used for?
A wire mesh handler is designed to lift and transport large or heavy sections of concrete reinforcing mesh more efficiently.
Contractors commonly use wire mesh handlers during concrete work where reinforcing mesh needs to be positioned before the concrete is poured.
What types of contractors use wire mesh handlers?
Wire mesh handlers are particularly useful for contractors performing:
- Foundation preparation and foundation pours
- Driveway construction
- Base pours
- Concrete flatwork
- Highway and road construction
These projects often use substantial quantities of reinforcing mesh, wire fabric and other reinforcement materials.
Can a wire mesh handler be used for highway construction?
Yes. Highway and roadway construction can require especially heavy reinforcing material, including heavy-gauge mesh and rebar. A wire mesh handler can help crews lift and position large sections of reinforcing mesh during this type of work.
How much can a Star Industries wire mesh handler lift?
Star Industries currently lists wire mesh handlers with capacities of up to 7,000 lbs. Always use the rated capacity of the specific model being used and follow applicable lifting and rigging requirements.
