Heavy-Duty Coil Lifters & Coil Tilters for Steel Handling

Apical’s Coil Lifters and Tilters are engineered for safe and efficient handling of steel coils in vertical and horizontal positions. Built with electro-mechanical and hydraulic actuation, these lifters reduce manual effort while ensuring precision in coil movement, tilting, and stacking.

Available with load capacities ranging from 5 to 50 tons, Apical’s coil lifters operate seamlessly with EOT cranes, goliath cranes, and other lifting systems. They are designed to manage hot-rolled, cold-rolled, and galvanized coils with widths up to 2,000 mm. Hydraulic tilters provide smooth 90° tilting action, ensuring safe transfer from vertical storage to horizontal movement for downstream processing.
