Caldwell Model 83EW Ergonomic Vertical Eye Coil Lifter with Wide Legs
The Caldwell Model 83EW Ergonomic Vertical Eye Coil Lifter with Wide Legs is engineered to safely lift, transport, and position vertically stored eye coils while accommodating wider coil widths than the standard Model 83E. Featuring an ergonomic operating system, adjustable lifting legs, and a heavy-duty welded steel construction, the 83EW improves operator comfort, enhances safety, and increases productivity in steel service centers, metal processing facilities, manufacturing plants, and warehouses.
Designed for 16-inch, 20-inch, and 24-inch inside diameter coils, the 83EW incorporates extra-wide adjustable lifting legs, allowing it to handle a broader range of coil widths while maintaining proper balance and load stability. The ergonomic operating handle, spring-loaded locking system, adjustable centering stops, and 360° rotating guide handlemake positioning and releasing coils faster and easier during repetitive lifting operations.
The lifter is available in 3-ton, 5-ton, and 10-ton capacities and is manufactured in accordance with applicable ASME B30.20 and ASME BTH-1 design standards for below-the-hook lifting devices.

Safety Information
Always verify the load is within the rated lifting capacity.
Ensure coils are supported on 5/8-inch minimum blocking before engaging the lifting feet.
Confirm the lifting feet are fully inserted beneath the coil before lifting.
Inspect all pins, locking mechanisms, and moving parts before each use.
Follow OSHA, ASME B30.20, and ASME BTH-1 requirements for below-the-hook lifting devices.
Never lift or transport personnel.
