Horizontal Coil Tong with Double Rack and Pinion at fully automated crane

The Motorized Horizontal Coil Tong Rack and Pinion is designed to lift coils in a horizontal position.
The tongs are robustly engineered for heavy duty application to meet the severe demands of steel- and aluminium rolling mills.

The crane operator controls the entire lifting process from the crane cabin. The tong is operated by a three-phase gear motor and rack and pinion transmission.
The electrical circuit to the control box is carried out by plug-in connection. This enables quick removal of the tong from the crane. The suspension assembly is designed to accommodate standard crane hooks.
The standard suspension is fixed by pull pins. Customized suspensions on request.
