Fixed Diameter Bar Tongs

Below-the-hook devices lift round bars and cast or steel pipe

Fixed bar tongs can lift pipes and round bars of either 5" or 8" diameter, depending on the model
A scissoring action wraps the curved tong arms around the load and helps them maintain their grip during the lift
Loads must be balanced. Stabilize longer loads by using a pair of tongs at the ends of a lifting or spreader beam
Fixed diameter tongs are manufactured with a 3:1 safety factor and expected service life of 100,001 to 500,000 lifts
