Dixie Lifting Timber Tongs - 1-1/4" x 32" - #40458

Orange lifting tongs are designed specifically for safe and secure lifting of poles and logs. Unlike skidding tongs, these tongs are tagged and rated for lifting, making them ideal for utility and industrial applications. Certified for lifting, each pair of tongs is proof-loaded to twice the working load limit (WLL) and comes with a permanent metal identification tag. These tongs are painted bright orange for visibility and corrosion protection, ensuring reliable performance even in harsh environments.
