VERTICAL PLATE LIFTING CLAMPS

VERTICAL PLATE LIFTING CLAMPS, information on our best sellers.

STANDARD PLATE CLAMPS WITH SAFETY LOCK (working load limit (WLL) 500-3000kgs_92 series

These clamps are primarily used for transporting sheet metal and steel plates in the vertical position, as well as lifting and rotating through 180⁰.

They can also be used for transporting steel constructions and profiles. It is recommended to use a pair of plate clamps in conjunction with a spreader beam for large sized steel and long materials which have a tendency to sag.

FUNCTION:

The jaw can be opened and closed with the with the locking lever ( ex. For the 92-500 which uses a positive spring-loaded cam).

Safety lock over rides the spring loaded cam, preventing the clamp from opening even when there is no load.

    These plate clamps are service friendly, making it easy to exchange parts, which are available individually or in kits. Clamp repairs are available by our experienced staff.

The 92-500 is equipped with a safety lock (positive spring-loaded cam), but comes without locking lever.

CY HINGED VERTICAL PLATE CLAMP

The CY plate clamps with hinged hook rings can be used for the safe handling of plate at various angles.

 It can lift plate from the horizontal and put down in the vertical. The hinged hook ring ensures adequate gripping pressure in every position, but the load capacity is reduced as seen in the diagram below showing the load / forces capacities.

The main benefit of the CY hinged plate clamps is that longer plates can be lifted or handled, using two clamps on a two legged chain sling, thus eliminating the need for a spreader beam.

HG VERTICAL "HIGH GRIP" PLATE CLAMPS FOR HARDENED MATERIALS (WLL- 500-4000kgs)

HG plate clamps have an extremely high clamping pressure which makes the clamps particularly suited to the transport of plate with a surface hardness up to HRC 40/brinell 375.

The clamps can be opened or closed with a locking lever. The safety lock over rides the spring loaded cam, preventing the clamps from disengaging from the transported material even where there is no load.

These plate clamps are service friendly, easily to exchange parts and can be repaired by our staff at lifting equipment ltd.
