Caldwell Model 83EW Ergonomic Vertical Eye Coil Lifter with Wide Legs

Caldwell Model 83EW Ergonomic Vertical Eye Coil Lifter with Wide Legs

The Caldwell Model 83EW Ergonomic Vertical Eye Coil Lifter with Wide Legs is engineered to safely lift, transport, and position vertically stored eye coils while accommodating wider coil widths than the standard Model 83E. Featuring an ergonomic operating system, adjustable lifting legs, and a heavy-duty welded steel construction, the 83EW improves operator comfort, enhances safety, and increases productivity in steel service centers, metal processing facilities, manufacturing plants, and warehouses.

Designed for 16-inch, 20-inch, and 24-inch inside diameter coils, the 83EW incorporates extra-wide adjustable lifting legs, allowing it to handle a broader range of coil widths while maintaining proper balance and load stability. The ergonomic operating handle, spring-loaded locking system, adjustable centering stops, and 360° rotating guide handlemake positioning and releasing coils faster and easier during repetitive lifting operations.

The lifter is available in 3-ton, 5-ton, and 10-ton capacities and is manufactured in accordance with applicable ASME B30.20 and ASME BTH-1 design standards for below-the-hook lifting devices.
