📘 Overview
The Haugen mesh handler is a fork mounted material handler built for wire mesh handling, rebar cages, chain-link fencing, conduit bundles and other long or awkward material that cannot safely be palletised. A 13 ft frame — 162" wide, 90" deep — rated 7,000 lbs, with eight grade 100 chains on twist lock hooks.
Fork mounted from both sides, and built in modular sections so it ships and transports economically. Two versions: standard, or with crane top hooks.

🔗 Why Rebar Cage Lifting Needs Chains, Not a Deck
Wire mesh, rebar cages and fencing are flexible, heavy and awkward. Sat on forks they sag between the tines, slide, and are almost impossible to strap without damaging the material or the strapping.
Eight grade 100 chains on twist lock hooks support the load at intervals across a 162" span, so a mesh sheet or a cage is carried at multiple points rather than bridging two tines. Grade 100 is the higher-strength chain grade, and twist lock hooks make attaching and releasing quick with gloves on.
📦 Modular Construction
A 13 ft frame is an awkward thing to ship, and Haugen builds it in modular sections for that reason — it transports in pieces rather than as one 162" assembly, which cuts freight cost and makes it easier to move around a site or between yards.
🏗 The Crane Top Hook Version
The MMHT-7000 adds top hooks so the frame can be lifted by crane as well as carried on forks, for 150 lbs more. On a job where material has to go up as well as across — steel fixing on an upper deck, mesh into a formwork bay — that removes the need to transfer the load between two lifting methods.
🚜 Forklift and Telehandler Compatibility
Fork mounted from both sides, which suits telehandlers and forklifts approaching from either direction. The MMHT version adds crane top hooks.
1,350 or 1,500 lbs empty on a 162" frame. That is a wide, heavy attachment carried forward of the carriage — read your machine's load chart at working reach and remember the frame's width when manoeuvring.
❓ Mesh Handler FAQs
What is a fork mounted material handler for?
Carrying long or flexible material that cannot be palletised — wire mesh, rebar cages, chain-link fencing, conduit bundles. Eight chains support the load across a 162" span rather than letting it sag between two fork tines.
How much can it carry?
7,000 lbs on the frame. Your machine's capacity at working reach is a separate limit and usually the lower one, particularly with a 1,350 lb attachment out front.
What are grade 100 chains?
A higher-strength chain grade than the common grade 80, so a given capacity needs less chain weight. The twist lock hooks let you attach and release quickly with gloves on.
Why is it modular?
A 162" frame is expensive to ship as one piece. Building it in sections cuts freight cost and makes it easier to move between sites or yards.
What do the crane top hooks add?
They let the frame be lifted by crane as well as carried on forks, so material can go up as well as across without transferring between two lifting methods. The MMHT version weighs 150 lbs more.
Can it be loaded from either side?
Yes — it is fork mounted from both sides, so the machine can approach from whichever direction the site allows.
