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.
