Supporting tongs are for single-size objects that have support clearance underneath, such as boxes, crates, bins and containers. The lifting feet of the tong support the load and maintain it on a horizontal lifting plane.  Gripping tongs are for materials such as ingots, rolls, tubes, pipes and other round or cylindrical objects. The tong extends beyond and below the center of the load to provide additional support. The diameter of the load may vary by approximately 25%, but the variation in length is generally unlimited.  Pressure tongs grip the vertical sides of slabs, bales, boxes, billets and other flat or round objects. Pads on pressure tongs provide surface friction or penetration of the load to maintain a safe hold during handling. Pads can be provided with rubber, belting, pins, hardened points, serrated bits and other materials.
