slab lifting tongs

In high-intensity environments like steel mills, aluminum smelters, and copper refineries, handling massive materials isn’t just about strength—it’s about precision and speed. At OLICRANEPARTS, we provide industrial-grade slab lifting tongs designed to streamline the transport of large cast steel, copper, or aluminum slabs with absolute safety.

As a flagship solution in our comprehensive crane lifting tongs and clamps collection, our slab tongs can be driven by either mechanical gravity systems or electro-hydraulic power. This versatility allows your crew to lift single or multiple plates simultaneously in a stable horizontal position, drastically reducing loading times and boosting operational uptime. Whether you are managing warehouse inventory or mill-scale production, OLICRANEPARTS ensures your slab products move quickly, safely, and efficiently every time.

FAQ

What are the key safety precautions during lifting?

Only certified personnel should operate the equipment. Keep all staff clear of the lifting zone and avoid sudden movements or “shock loading.”

Verify the slab weight and thickness are within the rated range. For longer loads, use two or more OLICRANEPARTS clamps to maintain balance.

Inspect welds for cracks and tighten bolts regularly. Keep the unit clean and lubricate pins/bearings periodically to ensure smooth operation.
