Caldwell Model 83E Ergonomic Vertical Eye Coil Lifter

Caldwell Model 83E Ergonomic Vertical Eye Coil Lifter

The Caldwell Model 83E Ergonomic Vertical Eye Coil Lifter is designed to safely and efficiently lift vertically stacked eye coils while reducing operator fatigue and improving handling speed. Its ergonomic operating system allows quick engagement and release of coils while minimizing manual effort, making it an excellent solution for steel service centers, manufacturing facilities, processing plants, and warehouses.

Designed to accommodate 16-inch, 20-inch, and 24-inch coil inside diameters, the Model 83E features an adjustable leg position, ergonomic operating handles, a unique 360° operator guide handle, and spring-loaded locking mechanisms for fast, safe operation. The tapered alloy steel lifting feet are designed to work with 5/8-inch blocking or larger, making it easy to engage vertically stored coils. The lifter complies with applicable ASME standards for below-the-hook lifting devices.
