Rail Tongs are used on cranes for rail handling projects. They will lift any 39 foot, Standard "T" rail section, up to, and including 155 lb. rail, by either the head or base. "Not recommended for girder or crane rail." No adjustments are necessary to handle various sizes of rail. Tongs are designed for lifting, not dragging. The anti-slip feature of the tong is due to the sliding toggle action of the links when a rail is lifted. In this way the angularity of the toggle link is never less than 90 degrees with respect to each other.
