What is Crane Tongs?

A crane tong is a specialized lifting device used for lifting operations, which has the function of holding goods and lifting them through a crane. Crane tongs are usually made of sturdy steel and are designed to hang and transport objects of different shapes, sizes and weights.

Crane tongs are suitable for various types of cargo such as plates, rounds, squares, tubes, barrels, etc. The design of the crane tong device can be adjusted according to the shape and size of the object to ensure that the goods can be hung and transported securely. Crane tongs are widely used in construction sites, ports, warehouses, manufacturing industries and other lifting scenarios. Crane tongs are used for tasks such as handling heavy loads, processing materials, loading and unloading goods.

Features and Advantages of Lifting Tongs

Versatility: Lifting tongs exist in a variety of types, such as plate clamps, round steel clamps, pipe clamps, etc. Each type can be adapted to different shapes, sizes and weights of objects for a wide range of lifting tasks, thus providing a wide range of adaptability.
Reliable performance: Due to robust manufacturing and design, lifting tongs have high reliability and durability, and are able to maintain stability and performance over long periods of time. The design of the crane tong allows for precise control of the object so that the object can be placed exactly where it is needed. Well-designed tong devices securely clamp the load to ensure stability during lifting and hanging, reducing object swaying and tilting. The use of lifting tongs can significantly improve the efficiency of lifting operations.
Save labor: the use of lifting tongs can reduce the need for manual handling, reduce labor costs, while reducing the risks that may be brought about by human operation. Compared to manual handling, mechanized operations are more efficient and can handle larger weight objects. Crane clamps are usually made of sturdy steel and have a strong load capacity to safely lift and suspend objects of greater weight.
High safety: Lifting tongs need to be designed and manufactured in accordance with relevant safety standards and regulations to ensure that there are no safety risks during use. Users can ensure the safety of operation by correctly selecting the type of lifting tongs, reasonable installation and correct operation. Correct use of lifting tongs can reduce the risk of damage to objects. The design of the tong makes the force on the object uniform and reduces the damage caused by improper operation.

Types of Lifting Tongs

Plate Lifting Tongs: These tongs are designed to grip large flat objects, such as steel plates and sheets. They feature adjustable gripping arms that can accommodate different sizes of plates.
Pipe Lifting Tongs: Ideal for cylindrical objects like pipes and tubes, these tongs have curved arms that securely grasp the load's curvature.
Round Stock Lifting Tongs: These tongs are perfect for lifting round objects, such as logs or poles. They often have multiple gripping points to evenly distribute the load's weight.
Coil Lifting Tongs: Coil tongs are designed to lift heavy coils of materials, such as metal or wire. They offer a secure grip to prevent the coil from unwinding during lifting.
Bar Lifting Tongs: These tongs are utilized for lifting solid bars or beams. They come with adjustable arms to accommodate different bar widths.

Functions of Lifting Tongs

Secure Gripping: The primary function of lifting tongs is to securely grip the load. This prevents slippage or shifting during lifting, reducing the risk of accidents.
Weight Distribution: Lifting tongs are designed to evenly distribute the weight of the load. This helps maintain balance and stability while lifting, minimizing the chance of overloading one side.
Load Protection: By providing a stable grip, lifting tongs protect the load from damage that could occur due to improper handling or shifting during lifting.
Enhanced Efficiency: With lifting tongs, crane operators can quickly and confidently lift loads without the need for complex rigging. This streamlines the lifting process and saves time.
Safety: Lifting tongs play a crucial role in lifting safety. Their secure grip and balanced lifting reduce the likelihood of accidents or load drops, ensuring the well-being of workers and the integrity of the load.

Why Custom a Crane Solution?

At Yuantai, we know that there is no "one size fits all" in the lifting field. Universal cranes are suitable for general factories, warehouses, etc. Besides, different applications have different needs for cranes. For example, steel industries often lift steel plates, so need electromagnetic cranes. Ports and docks often need to load ore, gravel, and other bulk goods, so need to grab bucket cranes. Chemical dangerous places often need to carry flammable and explosive materials, so need explosion proof cranes.

So, we provide customized cranes according to the special needs of our customers. Custom crane solutions offer many benefits in a variety of applications：

Improve efficiency: Cranes can use automatic controls, and special accessories to improve efficiency.
Break space constraints: In limited spaces, standard cranes may not fit due to their size. Custom cranes can be designed as compact or lightweight cranes.
Cost savings: Customized cranes can lead to long-term cost savings. Customized crane solutions ensure crane's performance is all necessary for your business.
