Coil Grabs - Coil Tongs
Coil grab or coil tong is a type of industrial equipment used
for handling and transporting large coils of material, such as steel or
aluminum. These tongs are designed to securely grip the coil, allowing it to be easily lifted and moved by a crane or other lifting device.
The gripper arms can be opened and closed electromotively using various mechanisms, such as a roller chain drive, rack and pinion drive, or hydraulic cylinder.

Features
- Modular design that is easily configurable and retrofittable.
- Strong and dependable, with a solid frame design and welded, electric-powered grasping legs.
- Light sensors and massive cut-off relays or a mechanical load safety mechanism ensure the system is operating safely.
- Feasible in terms of time and money spent on upkeep; cheap.
Additional Options
- Spindle drive system (optional)
The drive for the grab legs is a trapezoidal spindle that locks into place. You may rest assured that any inclinations or collisions won’t cause the grasp to open unintentionally.
- Slewing gear (optional)
Built-in slewing mechanism allows the grasp to be positioned precisely. The swivel may turn a full circle. Best for pinpoint control.
- Coil eye locator (standard)
Allows for pinpoint adjustment of the grab’s proximity to the coil eye.
- Maintenance stand (optional)
Includes a stepladder, a platform for routine upkeep, and the potential for factory-floor installation. To keep the grab out of the way when it’s not in use or out of the way during maintenance.
- Chuck sensor (standard)
The arms have built-in sensors in the form of a coil chuck. You can confidently throw and raise a coil knowing that it has been confirmed to be in the exact place you indicated.
- Safety indicator lamp for lifting (standard)
When the coil chuck sensor and the photo detector agree that a coil is securely chucked, a rotating lamp lights up to let the user know that the coil can now be moved safely. While this rotating lamp (safety indicator lamp) is on, you can’t open or close the arms by mistake by pushing the wrong button.
