The Hydraulic operated Block Tong is designed to lift either one or several blocks simultaneously. Tong levers can also be designed, to grip ingots vertically and deposit them horizontally, or vice versa. The tongs are robustly engineered for heavy duty application to meet the severe demands of steel mills.
The crane operator controls the entire lifting process from the crane cabin. The tong is operated by an electrically driven hydraulic system, mounted on the tong.
The preposition of the scissors is hydraulically actuated. The power supply of the control box is carried out by a plug-in connection for quick and easy decoupling of the tong from the crane.
The suspension assembly is designed to accommodate standard crane hooks. The standard suspension is fixed by pull pins. Customised suspensions are available on request.
