PRICING FOR MODEL 77 - BALE LIFTING TONGS



GENERAL INFORMATION:

	Lifting Tongs are designed and manufactured to customer load specifications. Optional is an automatic latching device.

	All Lifting Tongs are designed and manufactured to conform with ASME B30.20 standards.


Lifting tongs are available in three configurations.

	1. GRIPPING - Grab arms conform to load surface with outside diameter supported below center of load for additional holding advantage.

		Designed to lift such products as rolls, tubes, and other cylindrical materials.



				2. PRESSURE - Grab arms grip vertical sides of straight sided materials. Custom grip pads are required to have sufficient coefficient of friction between material lifted and grip pads. Grip pads may be rubber, steel, belting, points and other.

					Designed to lift such products as bales, boxes, ingots, and other straight sided materials.

					Standard tongs for bales and slabs are shown above and also see Model 71 - Slab Tongs section.



				3. SUPPORTING - Grab arms have feet to support underneath load. Designed to handle constant sizes of material to maintain a horizontal plane on the lifting feel. Dunage under material required to insert/remove feet of tong.

					Designed to lift constant sized boxes, containers, crates, and other constant sized square shaped material.

					Standard Tongs for dies see Model 70 - Die Lifting Tongs section.



Application Ideas for Gripping Tongs...

	to lift rolls, tubes, and cylindrical materials


		This GRIPPING TONG is used to lift cylindrical objects such as large diameter round bar, tube or rolls of material.

		We have integrated both a manual latch or the autolatch mechanism into this family of tongs. The selection of the latch is dependent on the application.



This GRIPPING TONG is designed to handle longer loads and loads that may be more susceptible to damage. The longer contoured pads used on the tong arms even the pressure on the lifted item. This would be useful when lifting rolls of fabric or polyethylene film. The pads could be lined with a material such as nylon or rubber and used to lift brass bar or machined parts without the potential for damage that may occur if using slings or forklifts.



			This GRIPPING TONG is designed to pick up long lengths of round bar or bundles of steel that are approximately round in shape. The narrow gripping arm will engage the lifted item with significant pressure.


Applications Ideas for Pressure Tongs...

		to lift bales, boxes, ingots, and other straight sided materials



	PRESSURE TONGS can be used to lift objects that have sufficient structure and density that they will not be damaged by the application of significant lateral force. An example of this is the concrete highway barriers and steel ingots.

	They can also be used in situations where the lifted item can accommodate a gripping action that may indent the sides of the load. Cotton and cardboard bales are a good example of loads that can be lifted with a PRESSURE TONG even though they are not rigid.
