Caldwell Model 83HW Vertical Eye Coil Grab

The Caldwell Model 83HW Vertical Eye Coil Grab is a heavy-duty below-the-hook lifting device designed for safely handling vertically stacked steel coils. Using a simple handwheel-operated adjustment system, operators can quickly expand or retract the lifting legs to match the coil's inside diameter for secure engagement and release. This manual mechanical design offers reliable operation without the need for hydraulics or external power.
Designed for steel service centers, metal processing facilities, warehouses, and manufacturing plants, the Model 83HW accommodates coil inside diameters from 16 to 24 inches and is available in 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10-ton capacities. Optional chain wheel drive and motorized versions are also available for applications where manual adjustment is impractical.
