Wire Coil Inner Tong, 4-Arm CH-B

Maximise safety and efficiency in your material handling operations with the heavy-duty 4-Arm CH-B Wire Coil Inner Tong. Engineered for absolute precision and built to last, this fully automated lifting solution is the professional choice for the secure handling and transport of strapped coils.

Available at Craneplex, this premium, EU-manufactured lifting device is designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial environments. Boasting a robust Working Load Limit (WLL) of 3,000 kg and a highly versatile gripping range of 500 mm to 850 mm, the CH-B model ensures your site operates smoothly, safely, and with maximum throughput.

The standout feature of this model is its innovative AutoLock mechanism, which allows for automatic locking and unlocking directly through crane operation—eliminating the need for manual intervention and drastically reducing workplace hazards.

Key Features & Operational Benefits

• AutoLock Technology: Features a state-of-the-art, fully automatic locking and unlocking system operated entirely via the crane. This completely removes the need for manual operator intervention on the ground, significantly accelerating the lifting cycle and improving safety.
• Internal Wall Gripping: The lifter is specifically designed to lock securely onto the inner walls of strapped coils, ensuring maximum load stability during transport.
• Torsion-Free Construction: Built with a guided central tube, offering a highly rigid, torsion-free structure that prevents twisting and ensures precise, balanced lifting.
• Abrasion-Resistant Jaws: Equipped with heavy-duty, highly durable grab jaws. These jaws are fully exchangeable, allowing you to easily replace them after prolonged heavy daily use, which extends the overall lifespan of your lifting gear and lowers long-term maintenance costs.
• Optimised for Storage: The structural design is perfectly adapted to sit securely and safely on standard 4-leg storage stands when not in use.

Safety is paramount in heavy lifting operations. The CH-B Wire Coil Inner Tong is rigorously manufactured and tested to comply with the highest British and European safety standards, giving your riggers total peace of mind.

• UKCA Marked for guaranteed compliance in the Great Britain market.
• Fully adheres to the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
• BS EN 13155: Complies with harmonised standards for Cranes - Safety - Non-fixed load lifting attachments.
• Proudly Made in the EU, guaranteeing superior craftsmanship, strict quality control, and premium material quality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How does the AutoLock technology improve workplace safety?
The AutoLock system allows the tong to automatically engage and disengage from the coil's inner walls using the vertical movement of the crane. This means ground operators do not need to approach the suspended load or manually guide the jaws into place, vastly reducing the risk of crushing injuries or accidents.

What size and weight coils can the CH-B tong handle?
The CH-B 3.0 model is designed for a Working Load Limit (WLL) of up to 3,000 kg (3 tonnes) and can securely grip coil inner diameters (ID) ranging from 500 mm to 850 mm.

Are the gripping jaws replaceable?
Yes. To ensure a long operational lifespan and minimal downtime, the highly abrasion-resistant grab jaws are fully exchangeable. If they eventually wear down from heavy, continuous use, you can simply swap them out for a new set rather than replacing the entire lifting device.

Is this equipment certified for use in the UK?
Absolutely. The CH-B Wire Coil Inner Tong 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.

How should the tong be stored when not in use?
The frame of the CH-B is specifically optimised and balanced to sit safely on standard 4-leg storage stands, keeping your workspace organised and protecting the equipment from floor damage.
