10-28 COIL LIFTERS The Caldwell Group Model 82-RC — Close Stacking “C” Hook PRODUCT FEATURES: • Recessed Counterweight allows for close stacking of coils which maximizes floor space. • Handles a wide range of coil widths. • Designed for heavy duty application. • High tensile alloy steel plate reduces physical size and weight. • Counter balanced to hang level. • Inside radius on hooks avoid coil edge contact. • Curved coil saddle is standard. • Guide handle for ease of coil positioning. • Available with optional padding for additional coil protection. • Designed and manufactured to ASME B30.20.

CAUTION: Center of gravity must be centered under crane hook to pre- vent tilting of the lifter and load.

Note: “E” dimension is always one-half of maximum coil width. SPECIFICATIONS

Counter weight extends beyond arm one-half of the counter weight width, in capacities 25 Ton and Greater. Other sizes available, consult factory.

10-29 LIFTING SOLUTIONS The Caldwell Group Barrier Lifter Product Features and Benefits: • New, compact & rugged design holds up to the work environment where barriers are used. • Handles concrete barriers from 6” - 12” nominal width at the top of the barrier. • Stainless steel Auto-Latch. • Auto-Latch mounting insures proper alignment. • Locating assembly orientates tong on barrier without operator intervention and will pivot when grab is set on the ground. • Gripping pads pivot to conform with the load. • Replaceable polyurethane pads protect barrier. • Alloy steel dog-point pads bite into painted barrier surfaces (typical in coastal areas). • Centering guide cut out on grab shoe helps to properly center tong over barrier for a level lift. • Extended handles on each side keep operator away from load and can be adjusted as needed. • Lifting eye allows for easy hook attachment, self-centers rigging, and will accommodate a fork.
