Conte 1908 produces different types of equipment for gripping, lifting and handling coils and strips with a horizontal axis hole. The tongs, which certainly represent the most effective solution to coil handling problems, are made using systems that allow for a significant reduction of the weight and structural dimensions.

The gripping is obtained by means of jaws that, operated by an electro-mechanical system, are able to go from the maximum to the minimum opening in a time varying between 13 and 18 seconds depending on the model. The jaw opening and closing system is managed via a push-button panel built into that of the overhead crane or, upon the customer's request, via a remote control.

Moreover, again on request, all clamps can be equipped with a motorised 360° rotation system. An alternative, structurally simpler but not less effective, for coil handling, is represented by brackets, that is devices with a typical C-shape connected to the overhead crane by means of chains and managed manually directly by the operators using the handles.
