Mesh Handlers For Telehandlers - Haugen Attachments

📘 Overview

The Haugen Mesh Handler (MMH-7000) is a fork-mounted material handler purpose-built for lifting and moving wire mesh, rebar cages, chain-link fencing, conduit bundles, and other long or awkward construction materials that cannot be safely palletized. Frame depth 90", frame width 162", capacity 7,000 lbs. Eight Grade 100 chains with twist-lock hooks provide secure, adjustable attachment to the load. Mounts on both fork sides — the modular design means the handler can be transported and shipped without a large single-piece footprint. Safety pins hold the handler to the forks. Two variants: MMH-7000 (standard) and MMHT-7000 (with crane top hooks for overhead crane integration). Made in USA with a 1-year warranty.

⚙️ Key Features

• Capacity: 7,000 lbs
• Frame: 90" depth x 162" width
• 8 Grade 100 chains with twist-lock hooks
• Mounts on both fork sides — modular for transport and shipping
• Safety pins secure handler to forks
• MMHT-7000 adds crane top hooks — enables overhead crane transfer without re-rigging
• Made in USA | 1-year warranty

🔑 Benefits

• Wire mesh and rebar cages cannot be moved safely on a standard pallet fork without rigging — the mesh handler provides eight Grade 100 chain attachment points distributed across a 162"-wide frame, allowing even weight distribution across large wire mesh sheets or bundles without concentration at a single lift point. This eliminates the bending and deformation that occurs when mesh is lifted from a single hook or sling.
• Grade 100 chains are the standard for overhead lifting hardware — Grade 100 is the highest-rated alloy chain grade for lifting applications (exceeding Grade 80 by 25% strength at the same weight). Using Grade 100 at the rated 7,000 lb capacity provides adequate safety factor for construction site use.
• 162" frame width spans full-width mesh sheets in a single lift — standard wire mesh sheets are typically 8-12 feet wide (96-144"). The 162" frame width (13.5 ft) spans these sheets fully, allowing the entire sheet to be lifted level without sagging from the sides.
• MMHT-7000 crane top hooks allow crane-to-forklift transfer without reattaching rigging — on job sites where wire mesh arrives by crane and needs to be repositioned by forklift, the MMHT allows the crane to hand off directly to the fork-mounted handler without re-rigging each sheet. This saves significant time on high-throughput structural construction sites.

📊 Specifications

🔗 Attachment Compatibility

The mesh handler mounts over standard telehandler fork tines and is secured with safety pins. The 162" frame width requires adequate machine reach and stability rating for the handler plus full load at that span. Verify your telehandler's rated operating capacity and chart at the applicable load center before using at full capacity.

🚜 Machine Compatibility

Fork-pocket mounted — slips over standard fork tines. Frame depth 90", frame width 162". Designed for telehandlers with heavy-duty pallet forks. Confirm tine cross-section fits the handler frame pockets before ordering.

No hydraulics required. Safety pins hold the handler on the forks during operation. Both fork sides are usable for mounting, enabling easy transport when not in use.
