material handling at harbours     

The Hydraulic Operated Slab Tong from Heppenstall Technology is able to lift either one or several slabs simultaneously.

The lifting arms are pre-positioned before the lowering the tong onto the slab until the base of the tong contacts the surface of the slab. At this point the hydraulic system for closing the lever is actuated again.

After transferring the slabs to their destination and placing them on a solid surface, the lifting arms can be hydraulically retracted allowing a 5 to 10 cm clearance.
