The self locking gripper for handling sheet metal coils has a support yoke (4) with a suspension spigot (10) and two curved gripper arms (2,3), the free ends of which contact the sides of the metal coil. At least one of the arms is pivoted to the yoke and the arms cross between their pivot points for self locking.
