Tongs for long loads
In some branches of industry, heavy loads with special dimensions need to be transported. These may include sheet metal, steel girders, rails or the like. Tongs for long loads from WIMO® turn this challenge into child’s play.
Tongs for long loads are a special form of transport equipment. As the name suggests, they are designed to pick up and transport long loads and place them into storage. Solutions from WIMO® for this task are available in different designs. For example, mechanical tongs for long loads may be the right choice depending on the application. Or maybe tongs for long loads with gripper units that are motorised so the length can be adjusted. The relevant design varies depending on the goods being transported and can be specified in each individual case. Like our other lifting technology solutions, the tongs for long loads from WIMO® transport loads safely while protecting the materials.
