Engineering & Operational Advantages

Secure Two-Point Load Distribution To ensure absolute maximum stability during transit, the CH-P A-G-M is engineered to support the load precisely at two points on the side edges of the coil. This balanced weight distribution prevents load shifting and minimises the risk of internal coil damage during overhead transport.

Integrated Operator Control Precision is vital when moving 15-tonne loads. These tongs are equipped with a built-in, ergonomic manoeuvring handle. This allows ground operators to easily, safely, and accurately guide the clamp into the perfect position prior to executing the lift.

Industrial-Grade Durability Proudly manufactured in the European Union, the CH-P A-G-M is forged from high-grade materials to guarantee structural integrity and a remarkably long operational lifespan, even in the harshest heavy-duty environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the CH-P A-G-M Coil Tongs used for? These heavy-duty tongs are a specialised lifting attachment used with overhead cranes to safely grip, lift, and transport massive sheet metal coils while they are in a vertical position.

How exactly do these tongs grip the metal coil? The CH-P A-G-M model is designed with an adjustable mechanism that secures the coil by supporting the load precisely at two separate points along its side edges. This ensures the weight is evenly distributed and highly stable.

Are these lifting tongs compliant with UK site regulations? Yes. The tongs are fully UKCA marked and comply with the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, meaning they are fully legal and certified for use on industrial sites across Great Britain.

Is it easy to position the tongs on the coil? Yes, the tongs feature a dedicated manoeuvring handle that allows operators to manually guide and align the clamp with the coil safely before the crane takes the weight.
