Slab tong

verticalwith electric hoist

The Hoist operated Slab Tong is designed to lift either one or several slabs simultaneously, in a horizontal position. The tongs are robustly engineered for heavy duty application to meet the severe demands of steel mills. The prepositioning of the scissors is actuated by the hoist on the slab tong. The crane operator controls the entire lifting process from the crane cabin by placing the tong above the center of the slab. The drive of the hoist is actuated by a three-phase motor. 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 standard suspension assembly is designed to accommodate standard crane hooks. The standard suspension is fixed by pull pins. Customised suspensions produced on request.
