Mechanical Plate Lifting Tongs

The Mechanical Plate Lifting Tongs is designed for safe and efficient lifting of steel plates and flat materials using overhead cranes.

This device adopts a mechanical self-gripping linkage structure, where the clamping force increases automatically with the lifting load, ensuring secure and stable handling during operation.

It is widely used in steel mills, fabrication workshops, plate warehouses, and shipbuilding yards.

Working Principle

The tongs operate through a mechanical linkage system:

• When the crane lifts upward, the tong arms rotate inward

• The gripping jaws clamp the steel plate automatically

• The heavier the load, the stronger the clamping force

No hydraulic or electrical system is required, ensuring reliable and simple operation.
