Other Products ｜Caldwell Model 82 Heavy-Duty C-Hook (Coil Lifter / Upender)

The Caldwell Model 82 is a heavy-duty C-hook coil lifter designed for safe, efficient handling of steel coils in demanding industrial environments.
Built for mill duty applications, this lifting hook is engineered to support a wide range of coil sizes and weights while maintaining balance, stability, and durability during overhead crane operations. 
This model is commonly used in steel service centers, coil processing facilities, and manufacturing plants where reliable coil handling is required every day under high loads.

Key Features

Heavy-duty C-hook design for coil handling
Capacity range from 5 to 50 tons depending on configuration
Counterbalanced design hangs level when empty
High-tensile alloy steel construction reduces weight while maintaining strength
Curved saddle design supports coil shape and reduces edge damage
Inside hook radius helps avoid coil edge contact
Guide handles for safer positioning and operator control
Optional protective padding available for sensitive coil surfaces
ASME compliant design for industrial lifting standards

How It Works
The Model 82 uses a classic C-hook geometry, allowing operators to slide the hook into the coil I.D. (inner diameter) and lift from within the coil. The curved saddle supports the coil while keeping it stable and centered during transport.
The counterweighted design ensures the hook remains balanced when not loaded, making crane pickup and positioning more predictable and safer.

Common Applications
The Model 82 is widely used in:

Steel coil mills
Metal service centers
Slitting and processing lines
Fabrication shops
Stamping and forming operations
Warehouse coil storage
Heavy manufacturing facilities

It is especially effective for high-frequency coil handling where speed and durability matter.

Capacity & Configuration Range
The Model 82 is available in multiple configurations, including:

5 ton
7.5 ton
10 ton
15 ton
20 ton
25 ton
30 ton
40 ton
50 ton

It also supports multiple coil widths (commonly 36" to 84") and varying headroom requirements depending on configuration.

Design Advantages
Heavy-duty mill performance
Built for continuous industrial use in steel production and coil handling environments.
Balanced handling
Counterweight design allows the hook to hang level when empty, improving crane handling efficiency.
Coil protection
Curved saddle and optional padding help reduce damage to coil edges during lifting.
Wide application flexibility
Multiple sizes allow matching the hook to different coil widths, weights, and storage layouts.

Limitations

Designed specifically for coils only (not general lifting)
Requires proper crane alignment to center of gravity
Not ideal for non-coil shaped loads
Large units require significant headroom at higher capacities
