Bradley Lifting Corporation

For paper rolls, Bradley Lifting supplies many variations of Tongs or Telescoping Drive Lifters, depending on the requirements of the application. Paper rolls can be gripped on the outside diameter, the inside diameter or from the ends. Tongs provide a simple method for handling paper rolls. The lifters can be configured for either automatic or manual latching of the Tong. A Telescoping Drive Lifter is a good choice for a wide range of paper roll sizes or when there is limited crane headroom. Bradley Linear Drive Roll Lifters can be powered by electric motor, hand crank or chain wheel. All below-the-hook lifting equipment from Bradley Lifting is designed and manufactured in conformance with the ASME B30.20 standard.

Bradley Lifting can create totally specialized Lifting Beam (Spreader Beam) equipment that incorporates multiple features for a specific application. Some Lifting Beams are able to telescope (motorized or manual) in order to handle a larger range of product sizes. Other beams must rotate, meet low-headroom requirements or be constructed of specialized materials for the operating environment.

Plate Tongs offer a simple an efficient method for lifting and moving a single plate. Bradley Lifting uses high strength alloy steel in the links and lever members, plus cold finished alloy steel in all of the pin connections. The Plate Tongs are a heavy-duty construction for years of dependable service. An automatic latching mechanism allows the Plate Tong to open and close with no outside intervention, relying only the vertical motion of the Tong. All below-the-hook lifting equipment from Bradley Lifting is designed and manufactured in conformance with the ASME B30.20 standard.

Just as modern rolling mills have an almost infinite variety of rolls, Bradley Lifting has an equally wide range of Mill Roll Lifters. Our engineers have created solutions to lift anything from small processing rolls to mammoth back-up rolls with chocks. A very common arrangement is a Lifting (Spreader) Beam connected to the roll chocks. Lifting Beams with a J-Hook option can lift the roll itself on journal diameters. Motorized grabs can lift from the ends of the roll. Often the choice of roll lifter is dictated by surrounding equipment, available headroom, storage space, or other constraints of the operating environment. All below-the-hook lifting equipment from Bradley Lifting is designed and manufactured in conformance with the ASME B30.20 standard.

Tong Grabs are well suited for a wide range of below-the-hook material handling applications: plate, slab, block and ingot. The Tong mechanism uses either friction andor a physical feature (edge, corner, rim, etc.) to secure the load. Depending on the material to be lifted, the Tong Grab may grip the load using a pointed indenter, serrated jaws, polymer rubber lined pads or other appropriate contactor. A thorough understanding of each application is critical. Bradley Lifting engineers will spend the necessary time with each customer in order to propose a suitable material handling solution. All below-the-hook lifting equipment from Bradley Lifting is designed and manufactured in conformance with the ASME B30.20 standard.

Bradley Lifting can produce a wide variety of Lifting Beams (Spreader Beams) with a J-hook option. Hooks can either be fixed or pivoting. The throat of the hook may be lined with an assortment of wear or friction reducing materials, depending on the application. Applications include roll handling and crucible lifting.
