Abstract

An apparatus for clamping pipes and the like to the forks of a forklift truck. A flapper arm is pivotally attached to a frame member which straddles each fork of the truck. A clamp arm is pivotally attached to the opposite end of the flapper arm. A single piston extends between the frame member and clamp arm to cause the clamp arm to move between opened and closed positions.
