What brick grab rubber do I need for a Kennis grab?

Kennis brick grabs use model-specific rubber inserts that fit into the compression rail of the grab. The correct brick grab rubber depends on the exact Kennis model, the insert profile and the fixing method used in the rail. These rubbers are not universal and must match the original geometry to ensure proper grip and safe handling.

For reference, Kennis-specific brick grab rubbers are commonly supplied as profiled inserts designed to match the original rail configuration. An example of this type of solution can be seen on Kennis brick grab rubber profiles .

What brick grab rubber do I need for a Kinshofer grab?

Kinshofer brick grabs typically use replaceable rubber inserts mounted in the compression or clamping rail. The required rubber insert depends on the specific Kinshofer grab model, the length of the insert and the retention method used in the rail. Selecting the correct profile is essential to maintain clamping force and prevent material damage.

Kinshofer brick grab rubbers are generally supplied in dedicated profiles rather than universal strips. A typical example of these inserts can be found on Kinshofer brick grab rubber solutions .

How do I identify the correct rubber profile and dimensions?

To identify the correct brick grab rubber, start by inspecting the existing insert. Measure the overall length, the cross-section dimensions and note the profile shape. Brick grab rubbers may feature flat, stepped or profiled geometries that are designed to lock into a specific rail shape.

If the rubber is heavily worn, measurements should be taken from the least affected section or compared against the compression rail itself to confirm the correct fit.

Which fixing method does my brick grab rubber use?

Brick grab rubbers are retained in different ways depending on the grab design. Common fixing methods include mechanical clamping within a rail channel, push-in profile retention or fastening with bolts or locking strips. The fixing method must match the rail design to prevent movement or premature wear.

When should brick grab rubbers be replaced?

Brick grab rubbers should be replaced when grip performance decreases, when uneven wear is visible or when cracks and tearing appear along the contact surface. Worn rubbers can reduce clamping stability and increase the risk of damaging bricks or blocks during handling.
