Monument Lifting Devices for Sale

Which Kenco lift handles monuments, headstones and curb stone?

For stone pieces up to 1,500 lb that are 4 to 16 inches thick at the grip point, the Kenco Monument & Curb Lift is the model to look at: it is a below-the-hook stone clamp that Kenco builds for cemeteries and hardscapers moving granite, marble, stone and curbing. For wider capstone pieces, the Kenco Capstone Lift grips 24 to 26 inches and is rated at 1,600 lb.

How do I choose between the two?

Measure the stone where the pads will close on it, and weigh the heaviest piece you will set. If that grip point is between 4 and 16 inches and the piece is 1,500 lb or less, the Monument & Curb Lift fits. If you are setting capstone that is 24 to 26 inches across and 1,600 lb or less, the Capstone Lift fits. If your stone falls outside both ranges, call (888) 240-7247 before you order.

What machine do I need?

Kenco says the Monument & Curb Lift works on any machine with the proper lifting capability, and pairs the Capstone Lift with its RigMAX rigging. Size the machine for the stone plus the lift: the Monument & Curb Lift itself weighs 120 lb, so a 1,500 lb headstone puts about 1,620 lb on the hook before any rigging.
