Caldwell Model 82RC Close Stacking C-Hook

Caldwell Model 82RC Close Stacking C-Hook

The Caldwell Model 82RC Close Stacking C-Hook is engineered for safely lifting and transporting heavy steel coils in facilities where storage space is limited. Based on Caldwell's industry-leading Model 82 C-Hook, the 82RC features a recessed counterweight that allows coils to be stacked closer together, maximizing valuable floor space without sacrificing lifting performance.

Designed for steel mills, service centers, manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and warehouses, the Model 82RC is available in capacities from 5 to 40 tons and accommodates a wide range of coil widths. Manufactured from high-tensile alloy steel, the hook provides exceptional strength while reducing overall size and weight. A curved coil saddle, guide handles, and counterbalanced design improve safety, efficiency, and ease of operation in demanding industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Caldwell Model 82RC used for?

The Model 82RC is a heavy-duty close stacking C-hook designed to lift steel coils while allowing coils to be stored closer together through its recessed counterweight design.

What capacities are available?

The Model 82RC is available in standard capacities from 5 tons to 40 tons.

What makes the 82RC different from the standard Model 82?

The primary difference is the recessed counterweight, which allows operators to stack coils closer together and maximize available warehouse floor space.

Does the hook hang level when empty?

Yes. The Model 82RC is counterbalanced, allowing it to hang level without a load for easier positioning.

How are coils protected during lifting?

The inside hook radius helps prevent coil edge contact, the curved saddle supports the load, and optional padding is available for additional protection of finished coil surfaces.

Is the 82RC compliant with industry standards?

Yes. The Model 82RC is designed to comply with applicable ASME standards for below-the-hook lifting devices.
