Lifting Tongs

Lifting tongs are specialized crane or hoist attachments used to lift and position materials in heavy industries like construction, energy, mining, and manufacturing. Essentially, lifting tongs are like a giant pair of kitchen tongs attached to a crane rope or lifting hoist, but lifting tongs also include a special latch system which translates the weight of the load into a secure grip.
