Slab Tong — 10 to 45 Ton
Slab tongs lift steel slabs by clamping their sides, taking them flat or on edge. Hardened jaws and full-range adjustment let one tong cover a span of slab widths without being set up between lifts.
Every Slab Tong is built to order at our Pithampur works near Indore and supplied direct to steel plants, service centres and fabricators across India. We size it against the crane it will hang from and the material it has to carry, proof load test it before despatch, and send the test certificate out with the machine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What slab sizes can your slab tongs handle?
Our slab tongs lift slabs from 10 to 45 ton, with slab widths of 150-760 mm and lengths of 600-3000 mm.
How does a slab tong grip the slab?
The tong grips the slab edges mechanically, with grip geometry designed for the flat, dense form of slabs rather than coils — which is why slab and coil tongs are not interchangeable.
Is the slab tong customised to my requirement?
Yes. Every machine we build is custom-engineered — capacity, dimensions, and configuration are matched to your line. Send your requirement via the enquiry form or call +91 91091 02280 for a firm quote. Equipment is manufactured to ASME B30.20, and test certificates are available on request.
Do you supply and install the Slab Tong anywhere in India?
Yes. The Slab Tong is built at our Pithampur works near Indore and sent by road to any plant in India, proof load tested and certified before despatch. Our engineers can attend site to check the fit against your crane hook and bay clearances.
