Informations
Tongs for the lifting and moving coils with a vertical axis, mechanical or electro-mechanical drive.
MECHANICAL SYSTEM: operation based on a lever mechanism. Gripping and
releasing the coils is made possible by a rotating mechanical system that 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 a pinion-chain mechanism where the pinion, driven by a gearmotor, moves the chain with the gripping legs. By doing so, the tong is opened and closed.

Strengths
Sliding and rotation of the pivots takes place on bushings or runners in bronze with excellent wear resistance.
The material used is high strength steel, a type of alloy steel that offers better mechanical properties and greater corrosion resistance.
Slingofer guarantees spare parts for all machines built and is at your disposal for revisions and modifications of the tongs.
