For this purpose, we have developed coil tong with folding support arms, that allow precise gripping into the eye of the roll even where there is no space to spare - without damaging the material and without compromising on safety.

Thanks to our compact design and emphasis on safety, we ensure smooth, risk-free operation.

Technical parameters of the equipment:

Maximum load capacity: 25 000 kg
Weight of the pliers: 1 980 kg
Scroll length: 250 - 1 900 mm
Outer diameter of the coil: max. 2 000 mm
Inner diameter of the coil: 500 - 600 mm
Drives: electric - clamping, turning and tilting
Control: remote control, crane operator from the ground
