Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I use the CH-A coil tong with both a crane and a forklift?
Yes, the CH-A model is designed for dual versatility. It can be easily transported using an overhead crane hoist (via the included premium chain slings) or safely lifted using a standard forklift, depending on your operational needs.
How does the TwistLock automatic system improve safety?
The TwistLock system allows the tong to automatically lock onto and unlock from the coil directly via the crane's movement. This eliminates the need for an operator to manually intervene near the suspended load, drastically reducing the risk of workplace accidents.

Thanks to its adjustable step mechanism, the CH-A tong offers an overall gripping range of 850 mm up to 1,500 mm, making it highly adaptable for various coil dimensions.

Absolutely. The CH-A Wire Coil Outer Tong is fully UKCA marked, manufactured in the EU, and rigorously tested to comply with BS EN 13155 and the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
Does the compact design help with storage?
Yes. The highly compact construction requires very little manoeuvring space around the load, allowing you to stack and store coils tightly together in confined warehouse spaces, optimising your floor plan.
