Five Tool Categories
Amick's no-touch tools are available in five distinct construction types:
Wood Guidance Tools – Lightweight, practical options for general material handling where durability and simplicity are priorities.
Aluminum Fixed Head Tools – Permanent head configurations built for consistent, repeatable tasks. The fixed design eliminates setup time and ensures reliability shift after shift.
Aluminum Removable Head Tools – Interchangeable head systems that allow crews to swap configurations quickly. One tool body serves multiple applications by changing heads between jobs.
Steel Tools – Heavy-duty construction for demanding industrial environments where strength and rigidity are essential.
Custom Tools – Purpose-built solutions engineered to your exact specifications when standard options don't fit the application.
When Standard Isn't Enough: Custom Tool Development
Some operations present challenges that standard tools simply can't address. Unusual load shapes, unique clearance requirements, specific reach distances, or specialized engagement needs may require a tool that doesn't exist yet.
Amick's custom tool program addresses these situations directly. The process starts with understanding the specific application—what's being handled, the environment, clearance constraints, and how crews need to interact with the load. From there, Amick's engineers create a solution matched to those exact requirements.
Custom tools can incorporate non-standard lengths, modified head designs, specialized materials, or entirely new configurations. Whether it's an unusual head angle, a specific handle requirement, or a completely unique design, the goal is a tool that works the way your operation needs it to.
Matching Tools to Applications
Choosing between wood, aluminum, and steel construction depends on the work environment and handling requirements. Aluminum removable head systems make sense when versatility matters. Fixed head tools eliminate variables when consistency is the priority. And when nothing standard fits, custom development fills the gap.
