Timber Lifting Tongs
Only certified and proof tested alloy products should be used for overhead lifting. Dixie Industries upset forges a solid round alloy steel for optimum tensile strength and durability unlike many imported tongs that are hollow tubes. All Dixie Lifting Tongs are proof loaded to twice the working load limit (WLL) then affixed with a permanent metal identification tag. Written certification is also supplied at time of shipment. Lifting Tongs are supported by either a screw pin shackle or a safety shackle (nut and bolt) with a ring. Tong shape has been designed to provide a sure grip on poles and logs. Painted bright orange for job site identification.
