Vertical Coil Tongs and Hooks
The vertical coils tongs could work by means of a mechanical or electro-mechanical system.
Mechanical System: When the tong is on the coil, the ratchet turns of 90° and the levers open. As soon as the tong starts to raise, the coil is clamped between its inner and outer jaws.
Electromechanical System: Tongs operating depend upon a rack mechanism. The pinion is fed by a motorized worm gear box. The rack is integral with the gripping legs. This mechanism allows the opening and closing of the tong.
