Tongs Grab for transporting billets is designed with the advanced experience from home and abroad on the basis of our production experiences for many years with the advantage of no power consumption, no electromagnetic wave interference, reliable & safe in operation and flexible adaptability. Facts have proved that this lifting tool can load and unload steel billets freely without the cooperation of workmen on the ground, which is an ideal lifting tool used for handling steel billets.
Features
1. Basic Principle
When the tongs works, it utilizes the hoisting of the crane, lifting tool and billets’ weight to hold and unload the billets through the mechancal open-close dev ce of the tongs (sliding type, guide axis type and rotary type). The basic working principle is lever principle.
2. Operating Conditions
2.2.1 The temperature of the held material shall be not more than 1250 ºC.
2.2.2 It can be used indoors and outdoors. Simple and easy to install, just to hang it on the hook of crane. Easy to operate, just to operate the crane up and down.
2.2.3 The difference of holding width between the maximun to the minimun is less than 300mm (Model Ⅰ) and 600mm (Model Ⅱ), or else it will be unsafe.
3. Structures and Features
