Anode & Block Lifters

Block Lifters. These lifters are custom designed, based upon characteristics of the blocks produced in your mill. Material grades, temperatures, dimensions and geometry are all taken in consideration to provide you the optimum solution.

Bradley Lifting offers several options for handling carbon anodes for aluminum production.

Automatic Single Anode Tong. This unit is designed to lift a single anode. Each leg assembly has two replaceable hard tool steel grip points spread on centers. The distance from the grip points to the underside of the tong is approximately 155mm. An automatic latch is provided to alternately hold the legs open and allow them to close with vertical hoist motion.

While a lifting bail is standard, a suspension bar, similar to the stems provided with an anode assembly, can provided instead. This will allow the tong to be used on the pot room main structure hoist.

Anode Assembly Tong. This unit is designed to handle a single assembly by lifting via the upper hole in the anode stem bar.

The tong handles the assembly via two lifting feet that close to nearly touching, to securely grip the load.

The unit is provided with a pyramid-shaped centering guide to help the operator center the tong above the anode stem. An automatic latch is provided to alternately hold the legs open and allow them to close with vertical hoist motion.
