CH-TP 4-Arm Wire Coil Outer Tong with AutoLock (5,000 kg WLL)

Handling massive strapped wire coils requires intelligent engineering to maximise spatial efficiency while keeping riggers out of the danger zone. The CH-TP 4-Arm Wire Coil Outer Tong is a premium, heavy-duty material handling solution expertly designed to grip the exterior walls of strapped wire coils.

Boasting a formidable Working Load Limit (WLL) of 5,000 kg (5 tonnes), this sophisticated lifter features a wide-open centre, making it perfectly suited for seamless integration with tall wire coil stands in high-density steel stockyards, manufacturing plants, and logistics hubs.

Intelligent Automation & Spatial Efficiency

• Advanced AutoLock Technology: The standout feature of the CH-TP is its innovative automatic locking and unlocking system. This mechanism operates in tandem with the vertical movement of the crane hook, allowing for seamless engagement and disengagement of the load without requiring manual intervention from a ground operator. This drastically enhances workplace safety and accelerates cycle times.
• Space-Saving Compact Footprint: Floor space is often at a premium in wire drawing and storage facilities. The streamlined profile of this 4-arm tong requires minimal manoeuvring clearance around the transferred coil, allowing you to stack and store inventory closer together.
• Heavy-Duty Abrasion Resistance: The gripping jaws are specifically engineered to lock firmly onto the outer walls of strapped coils. To withstand the rigorous, abrasive nature of raw wire handling, the grab jaws are cast from highly abrasion-resistant steel, significantly extending the equipment's operational lifespan.
• Ready-to-Deploy Rigging: To ensure immediate integration into your workflow, the CH-TP tong is supplied fully equipped with durable, high-quality chain slings.

Uncompromising UK Safety Certification

When automating heavy overhead lifts, mechanical reliability and regulatory compliance are paramount. The CH-TP Wire Coil Outer Tong is manufactured to the highest European standards, ensuring total peace of mind and strict statutory adherence:

• UKCA Approved: Fully certified and regulatory-ready for legal trade and industrial use within the United Kingdom.
• Statutory Machinery Laws: Complies fully with the essential health and safety directives of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
• Harmonised Industry Standards: Designed, manufactured, and tested in strict alignment with:
• BS EN 13155: Harmonised standard for non-fixed load lifting attachments

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How does the AutoLock technology improve safety?
A: The AutoLock mechanism cycles automatically as the crane takes up or releases tension. This means the crane operator can lock onto the coil and release it at its destination without requiring a ground worker to physically approach the suspended load to manually operate the jaws.

Q: What type of wire coils is this lifter designed for?
A: The CH-TP is specifically engineered with an outer grip and a wide-open centre, making it ideal for handling heavy, securely strapped wire coils, particularly those staged on tall coil stands.

Q: Does this equipment require a lot of clearance space between coils?
A: No. A major advantage of the CH-TP's design is its compact, space-saving profile. It requires minimal radial manoeuvring space, allowing your facility to pack coils tighter and optimise floor space.

Q: Do I need to buy separate chain slings to attach this to my crane?
A: No, the CH-TP is supplied as a complete, ready-to-use lifting solution inclusive of high-quality chain slings.

Q: Is this automated lifting equipment legally compliant for UK worksites?
A: Absolutely. The CH-TP Wire Coil Outer Tong is fully UKCA marked and strictly adheres to the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, as well as harmonised BS EN standards (13155).
