Parallel Box Tongs

These tongs are preferred for handling boxes and crates that must be gripped near the top edge, such as boxes of shallow construction or the lack of strength at other points. The jaws move in on the load with a parallel movement. The leverage is sufficient to set the spurs without crushing.

These hooks have large pressure pad to distribute the clamping load over a large area. The heat treated turned steel spurs are easily replaced when damaged or worn.

The sizes and capacities listed above are a reference to the most common sizes of this equipment. If you have a different capacity, irregular size or some other need that must be met by our equipment, we will be happy to design one of these pieces of equipment to meet your special needs while also meeting or exceeding our interpretation of the appropriate ANSI / ASME. standards.

• Improper use of lifting equipment may cause serious injury or death.

• Only a Qualified Operator, as defined by the ASME B30.20 Standards, shall operate equipment.

• Read and understand General Warnings before operating equipment.
