Keg Tong Attachment Delivered

We recently designed, built and delivered a GL5 with Keg Tong attachment to McMenamins Brew Pub in Roseburg Oregon. The ergonomic lift fits into very tight spaces and lifts a full 150 pound beer keg with no human effort. The lift was retrofitted with 4 swivel casters so that it can maneuver around equipment and storage while carrying the keg. The full keg can easily be placed in a cooler, on a shelf or into a customer's vehicle.
Keg handling creates a injury risk to back, shoulder and neck because of the nature of lifting and reaching to place the heavy awkward load, sometimes overhead or below knees. With this new lift attachment, that risk is eliminated!

A second attachment was created to lift the brew kettle lid which is not heavy, but still awkward to manipulate off of the pot to clean between batches of beer brewing. See the photos to see how the attachment reaches in through the brew kettle port lid to easily lift and remove the lid.
