Wire Coil Inner Tong With Forklift Attachment CH-MW

Engineered for the safe, secure, and highly efficient transport of strapped wire coils, the Wire Coil Inner Tong With Forklift Attachment CH-MW is a premium material handling solution available at Craneplex. What sets this heavy-duty lifter apart is its dual compatibility, allowing it to be seamlessly operated using either an overhead crane hoist or a standard forklift.

Manufactured in the EU to the highest industrial standards, the CH-MW model features an innovative AutoLock mechanism, enabling operators to secure and release heavy coils without manual intervention. With a robust Working Load Limit (WLL) of 3,000 kg and a highly flexible gripping range, it is the ideal lifting solution for warehouses, steel processing plants, and manufacturing facilities looking to improve site safety and workflow efficiency.

Key Features & Operational Benefits

• Dual-Transport Design: Uniquely adapted to be transported and operated using either a standard overhead hoist/crane or a forklift. This gives your facility maximum operational flexibility without needing to purchase separate attachments.
• AutoLock Technology: Features a fully automatic locking and unlocking system during crane operation. It smoothly engages and disengages the coil without requiring manual operator intervention on the ground, significantly reducing handling risks.
• Secure Inner Gripping: The lifter is specifically designed to lock firmly onto the inner walls of strapped coils, ensuring absolute stability and preventing load shifting during transit.
• Heavy-Duty & Torsion-Free: Built with a highly rigid, torsion-free construction featuring a guided central tube. This ensures exceptional longevity, prevents twisting, and guarantees consistent performance under heavy 3-tonne loads.
• Low Maintenance Design: Equipped with highly abrasion-resistant, exchangeable grab jaws. When the jaws eventually wear down from rigorous industrial use, simply replace them to extend the lifespan of your core equipment and drastically reduce downtime.

Uncompromising Safety & Compliance

Safety is paramount in heavy lifting operations. The CH-MW Wire Coil Inner Tong is strictly manufactured to harmonised European and UK standards, ensuring full legal compliance and total peace of mind for your workforce:

• UKCA Marked specifically for the Great Britain market.
• Fully complies with the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
• Proudly Made in the EU to rigorous, transparent quality control standards.
• Manufactured according to strict harmonised standards: BS EN 13155.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How does the dual-transport design work?
The CH-MW is engineered with both a central lifting point for standard overhead cranes and hoists, alongside integrated fork pockets (Cf/Sf/Ef/Ff dimensions). This allows your operators to seamlessly switch between using a forklift or a crane depending on the immediate operational requirement or vehicle availability.

What is the benefit of the AutoLock system?
The AutoLock technology allows the tong to automatically lock onto and release the inner walls of the wire coil using the lifting and lowering motion of the crane. This removes the need for an operator to manually guide or adjust the jaws near a suspended load, vastly improving site safety.

What coil sizes and weights can this tong handle?
The CH-MW 3.0 model features a heavy-duty Working Load Limit (WLL) of 3,000 kg (3 tonnes) and can securely grip coil inner diameters (ID) ranging from 550 mm up to 800 mm.

Are the gripping jaws replaceable?
Yes. The tong is equipped with highly abrasion-resistant grab jaws that are fully exchangeable. This intelligent design allows you to replace only the wear parts, keeping your long-term maintenance costs low.

Is this equipment certified and compliant for UK operations?
Absolutely. The CH-MW is fully UKCA marked, manufactured in the EU, and strictly tested to comply with BS EN 13155 and the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
