Informations
– Tongs for lifting slabs with mechanical or electro-hydraulic drive.
MECHANICAL SYSTEM: operation based on a lever mechanism. Gripping and release are made possible by a mechanical repetition system in which the pawl, by rotating, allows the tong to open and close. The rotation of the pawl is obtained mechanically every time the tong rests on the component to be lifted.
ELECTRO-MECHANICAL DRIVE: operation of the tong is based on the winch or hoist with rope that adjusts the distance between the top and bottom beam, resulting in opening and closure of the tong.

Applications
Strengths
Use of the hoist with opening and closure function, making equipment more flexible.
In addition, motorised feelers can be installed which are useful for lifting multiple slabs as well as other accessories.
The robustness enables prolonged use over time and reduced maintenance.
Since the equipment is intended for high temperature environments, particular care is taken with engineering simulations for the insulation of the most exposed parts and use of appropriate insulation materials.
Servicing and original spare parts
Slingofer guarantees spare parts for all machines built and is at your disposal for revisions and modifications of the tongs.
