This Heavy-Duty Rail Lifting Clamp & Scissor Tong is designed for the safe, secure, and efficient handling, loading, and hoisting of steel railway tracks and crane rails. Utilizing a self-locking scissor clamping mechanism, the clamp grips tighter as the load increases, preventing slipping during horizontal transport and lifting operations.
Key Features
- Scissor-Action Gripping: Heavy-duty scissor tongs tighten automatically under tension, ensuring a non-slip hold on rail heads.
- High-Strength Alloy Steel: Built from thickened, wear-resistant forged steel to withstand demanding railway and industrial site conditions.
- Crane & Hoist Ready: Fitted with a top heavy-duty shackle/lifting eye for quick connection to overhead cranes, hoists, and rigging slings.
- Dual Operation: Suitable for both crane hoisting and manual two-person rail positioning on engineering sections.
