PARALLELOGRAM TONGS
Materials handling in the steel industry often happens under extreme conditions in relation to the prevailing forces and temperatures. A good example is hot charging of crude steel packages that are further processed in the next production stage. In these applications, parallelogram coil tongs or parallelogram package tongs are often used. WIMO Hebetechnik offers innovative and high-quality solutions for this task.
All WIMO® parallelogram tongs are specially designed for the individual application scenario. All circumstances on-site are taken into consideration and utilised to optimal effect in order to optimise the entire material flow. WIMO Hebetechnik also designs especially robust versions for extreme application areas – such as in steel mills with heat protection for material temperatures above 800 degrees Celsius. In addition, a special design from WIMO® is designed to be as space-saving as possible to enable the transported goods to be stored in confined spaces. It is very safe for employees and offers extremely good protection for the transported goods. Due to their robust design, they are low-maintenance and durable, making them a commercially worthwhile investment.
Parallelogram coil tong for hot coils up to 800 °C
- Hydraulic drive in robust metallurgical design
- Temperature-resistant up to 800 °C – for hot coils in the warm range
- Integrated load safety devices prevent unintentional opening
- Plain bearings at all joints – low maintenance and durable
Parallelogram coil tong with additional equipment for port operations
- Electromechanical drive for precise gripping movement
- Additional equipment for gentle coil handling
- Plain bearing joints for particularly long service life
- Ideal for demanding use in harbour operations
WIMO parallelogram tongs (also known as parallelogram bundle grippers) are specially designed for demanding material handling in the steel industry. Especially at high ambient temperatures – such as when handling hot raw bundles – they offer a safe, durable, and customized solution for automated or semi-automated transport.
