This configuration offers a lower initial cost. Standard C-Hooks have a longer upper arm and a smaller counterweight than the Close Stacking C-hook. This makes it a lighter lifter. It handles a range of coil widths without protrusion of the lower arm. However, the counterweight overhanging narrow coils, limits the range of the coil widths that can be placed flush against a vertical surface. T-1 alloy frame greatly reduces lifter weight.
