Caldwell Model 84 Telescoping Coil Lifter

Caldwell Model 84 Telescoping Coil Lifter

The Caldwell Model 84 Telescoping Coil Lifter is a heavy-duty, two-sided below-the-hook lifting device designed for safely lifting and transporting steel coils with varying widths. Its telescoping leg design allows operators to quickly adjust the lifting legs to accommodate multiple coil sizes using either a manual chain wheel/handwheel drive or an optional motorized leg drive, making it ideal for steel mills, service centers, manufacturing facilities, and coil processing operations.

Unlike traditional fixed-width coil lifters, the Model 84 eliminates the need for multiple lifting devices by adjusting to a wide range of coil widths. The self-locking worm gear drive securely holds the lifting legs in position to prevent accidental movement during lifting, while the curved lifting pads help minimize coil surface damage. Its compact two-sided design requires less aisle space, improving maneuverability in crowded production and warehouse environments.
