Clamps and equipment for ingots, billets and slabs
Tongs and equipment for ingots, billets, and slabs are one of the specialties of Valtorta Raising, a leading company in the design and manufacture of industrial lifting and handling systems. Thanks to decades of experience in the steel industry, the company develops robust, precise, and reliable solutions for handling large, heavy materials. Each product is designed to ensure operational safety, production efficiency, and customization based on specific customer needs.
Ingot handling solutions
For ingot handling, Valtorta Raising offers a complete range of mechanical, electromechanical, and hydraulic grippers, all designed for maximum precision and safety. Single- and double-fulcrum mechanical grippers ensure a stable and balanced grip, while models with hydraulic opening adjustment allow for quick adaptation to different workpiece sizes. Versions with hydraulic pre-adjustment and battery power are also available, ideal for applications where power is not readily available. For applications requiring more sophisticated control, electromechanical and electrically operated grippers offer high grip sensitivity and the possibility of integrating with automatic management systems. The range is completed by dedicated accessories such as the rotating gripper for ingot molds, the mechanical gripper for vertical gripping with tilting, and special forks for heat treatments, used in heating and casting processes.
Slab and plate tongs
Double-pincer mechanical clamps for slabs and plates are the ideal solution for handling flat and large-format elements. The double-pincer system ensures symmetrical and secure locking, reducing the risk of deformation or slippage during lifting. These devices can be integrated with distributed hydraulic systems and automatic lubrication, ensuring continuous service even in the most intensive production environments. The high level of automation and control allows for seamless interaction with industrial cranes and automated transport systems, improving productivity and reducing downtime. All products are developed with premium materials and subjected to rigorous testing according to Valtorta Raising's internal standards, confirming the company's ongoing commitment to safety and reliability in industrial lifting.
Pliers for round and square billets
For billet handling, Valtorta Raising offers dedicated solutions for every geometric configuration and material. Mechanical grippers for square and round vertical billets ensure high grip stability during loading, unloading, and positioning operations. For handling non-ferrous billets, versions are manufactured with specific coatings and locking systems that protect the material's surface. All equipment is designed to withstand harsh working conditions, with certified mechanical components and integrated control systems that ensure reliability and long-lasting durability. Thanks to custom design, each gripper can be adapted to the dimensional characteristics and operating cycle of the customer's plant, thus optimizing overall handling performance.
