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.
Telescopic coil tong with horizontal rotary drive
The coil tongs pick up the coils on the transfer station in front of the automatic area. For this purpose, the arms are moved separately so that they can also pick up coils that have not been placed in the exact position. The clamps are folded in during the approach to the coil. Light barriers are used to check whether the gripper arms are positioned centrally to the coil eye. The separately movable gripper arms approach the coil. In order to protect the coil, the closing movement is stopped by switch-off bars leading ahead. When the motor has been stopped via the shut-off bars in both gripper arms, the claws are folded down to pick up the coil. While the coil is being lifted, the automatic centre compensation brings the coil into the centre of the clamp housing. The horizontal slewing gear enables any position during storage via a ball bearing slewing ring. The tongs are automatically lubricated via a lubricator.

Foldable claws enable gentle coil pick-up as well as tight storage of the coils. This means that only the space for the vertical tong arm bars is required.
