📘 Overview
A Star Industries wire mesh handler lifts and transports reinforcing mesh panels without the bundle folding, sliding or being manhandled into place. It handles bundles up to 8 ft by 20 ft on a 13 ft effective length and 7 ft 5 in effective width, using 5/16 inch grade 100 rated lifting chain. Three versions differ by fork pocket spacing to suit different carriages — 24, 36 and 39 inches on centre — rated 6,500 lb on the two closer-spaced models and 7,000 lb on the 39 inch version. It is designed primarily for a forklift, and crane pick points are provided so it can be used below a hook as well.

🔑 Why Buyers Choose the Star Industries 1155 Wire Mesh Handler
- A mesh bundle folds if you lift it wrong — reinforcing mesh has almost no stiffness across its width. Spreading the lift over 13 ft of length is what keeps a bundle flat instead of hinging in the middle.
- It replaces a crew handling mesh by hand — moving 8 by 20 ft panels manually takes several people and is where back injuries and cut hands come from. One machine and one operator does the same work.
- ASME BTH-1-2008 compliance is documented, not claimed — this is a below-the-hook lifting device, designed to category B service class 1 with a 3:1 safety factor, which matters at inspection as much as in use.
- Three fork spacings so it fits narrower machines — 24 inch centres need only a 32 inch carriage where the standard 39 inch version needs 48. A yard with mixed forklifts can still standardise on one attachment type.
- Forklift and crane in one attachment — pick points let the same handler work below a hook, so mesh delivered by crane and placed by telehandler uses a single piece of equipment.

🔗 What Ships With the Wire Mesh Handler
The handler arrives complete with its 5/16 inch grade 100 lifting chains fitted and crane pick points built in, so it works on a forklift straight away and below a hook when needed. Fork pockets accept forks up to 2 3/8 inches thick by 7 inches wide. A safety chain assembly, part 1000-0117, fits the 1155 and is available separately if the machine does not already carry one. Note that a full size flatbed is required for shipping given the 13 ft effective length.

❓ Star Industries 1155 Wire Mesh Handler Questions, Answered
What size mesh bundles will the handler lift?
Bundles up to 8 ft by 20 ft. The handler has a 13 ft effective length and 7 ft 5 in effective width, which is what spreads the lift far enough along the bundle to stop it folding in the middle.
Which version do I need for my forklift?
It depends on carriage width. The 1155 uses 39 inch fork pockets and needs a 48 inch or wider carriage. The 1155-36CCFP uses 36 inch pockets and needs 44 inches. The 1155-24CCFP uses 24 inch pockets and needs only 32 inches.
Can the wire mesh handler be used with a crane?
Yes. It is designed primarily for a forklift, but crane pick points are provided so the same attachment can be used below a hook. That covers sites where mesh is delivered by crane and placed by telehandler.
What standard does the handler comply with?
It complies with ASME BTH-1-2008, the design standard for below-the-hook lifting devices, in design category B and service class 1, and is designed to a safety factor of 3:1.
What is the lifting chain rated at?
The lifting chain is 5/16 inch grade 100, rated for lifting. Grade 100 chain is what allows the published capacities on an attachment of this size and weight.
How much can it lift?
The 1155 is rated 7,000 lb and the 1155-36CCFP and 1155-24CCFP are rated 6,500 lb each. Your forklift load chart at the working reach is the governing limit, and the handler weighs around 1,025 lb before the load.
Why not just move mesh by hand?
Because 8 by 20 ft panels take several people, flex unpredictably and are a common source of back injuries and cut hands. One machine with a mesh handler replaces that crew and keeps the bundle flat.
What size forks does it accept?
Forks up to 2 3/8 inches thick by 7 inches wide, on all three models. Check your fork size along with your carriage width before ordering.
How is it shipped?
A full size flatbed is required for shipping because of the 13 ft effective length. Shipping is calculated at checkout once you enter your delivery address.
What warranty comes with the wire mesh handler?
The Star Industries wire mesh handler carries a 5-year factory guarantee and is made in the USA.
