Caldwell installs coil grabs, lifters at new Majestic Steel plant in Arkansas

The Caldwell Group, Rockford, Ill., has delivered nine coil grabs, two sheet

The Caldwell Group, Rockford, Ill., has delivered nine coil grabs, two sheet lifters, and five C-hooks, via distributor Simmers Crane Design & Services, to the new Majestic Steel USA facility in Hickman, Ark.

Each coil grab has a 60,000-lb. capacity and includes a lockout limit switch to prevent opening while the load is suspended. They also feature an anticlamp touch plate that protects the coils as the lifter is closing, preventing damage when the legs close. The two sheet lifters have 20,000 lbs. capacity, and the C-hooks have 60,000 lbs.

The material handling equipment will operate below the hook of 14 32.5-ton-capacity double-girder electric overhead traveling cranes, manufactured by OMi Crane Systems Inc. and installed by Simmers Crane.
