Coil tongs

In many industrial enterprises, coils need to be transported, turned and placed into storage while raised. This needs to be done in a way that is as protective as possible for the materials and as safe as possible for employees. WIMO Hebetechnik offers innovative and durable heavy load transportation solutions for this purpose.

Coil tongs from WIMO® enable safe and rapid transportation and allow coils to be turned and placed into storage. Like all WIMO® products, all coil tongs are custom-designed for the individual application scenario. The circumstances on-site are taken into consideration and utilised to optimal effect. This results in innovative and high-performance special-purpose designs. Our coil tongs are designed for a very long service life.

Attachment for transporting coils and bundles of sheet metal loaded on pallets

Attachment for transporting coils and bundles of sheet metal loaded on pallets

Attachment for transporting coils and bundles of sheet metal loaded on pallets. Ideal for occasional changes of goods to be transported. Designed for fast and safe slinging without time-consuming changing of the load handling attachment. The sheet metal package adapter is placed in a trestle. The coil tongs retract into the adapter with the claws on both sides. By picking up the adapter, the load safety device of the coil tongs switches. The load safety device prevents the tong arms from opening under load - in this case "under the load of the adapter". Even in the event of accidental incorrect operation, the tong arms will not open. Safe transport of the sheet packs is guaranteed.

Light barriers
open

Light barriers

Light barriers enable fast and safe positioning of the gripper arms in front of the coil eye. Particularly effective in combination with folding clamps. In this case, the operator only unfolds the claws when the light barriers indicate via signal lamps that the support claws are in the centre of the coil eye. This avoids unnecessary contact with the coil windings.
