HORIZONTAL PLATE CLAMPS

HORIZONTAL PLATE CLAMPS

Please find listed below some of the main points of our most commonly used horizontal plate clamps for you to compare,

CH/HH STANDARD HORIZONTAL PLATE CLAMPS (WLL 1000-10000kgs)

The CH horizontal plate clamps are designed for use in pairs, for the transportation of plate bundles as well as single plates with a minimum thickness of 5mm.

A pair of clamps used with a 2 leg chain sling are suitable for small plates up to 1500mm in length. It is recommended to use two pairs along with a spreader beam for handling of larger plates, these units are supplied as standard with a smooth jaw, but there is the option of hardened steel teeth for special applications.

The HH horizontal plate clamps incorporate all of the features of the CH clamps, yet are manufactured from high strength steel giving them exceptionally low tare weights.

These plate clamps are service friendly, making it easy to exchange parts, clamp repairs are available in our workshop.

RH / WH / WHL models (WLL 1500-5000kgs)

This range of horizontal plate clamps are designed to be used in pairs, for the horizontal transporting of individual and bundled plate. Whilst the basic design and function is the same there are three options available.

OPTION 1 - RH model: This range is fitted with a steel roller for reduced marking of the plates.

OPTION 2 - WH model: The jaw on this range has a hardened steel teeth for applications where the marking of plates is not an issue.

OPTION 3 - WHL model: With a protective rubber lining on the jaw and on the toe plate, this range totally eliminates any risk of marking.

ACH "ADJUSTABLE" HORIZONTAL PLATE CLAMPS

The ACH model offers superb flexibility because of the large adjustable jaw opening.

The jaw is adjusted using a simple ratchet mechanism.

These clamps are to be used in pairs and are especially suited to the transportation of large plate bundles up to 250mm thick.

THK "thin sheets" HORIZONTAL PLATE CLAMPS

The THK range share the same basic design features as the CH range of clamps but have a reversed tooth jaw design.

This acts as an additional safety feature specifically for use with thin sheets which may have a tendency to deflect or sag.

The THK model are particularly suited to thin plate with a surface hardness of 300 brinell/32rockwell c.

THS "horizontal loading" PLATE CLAMPS

The THS horizontal plate clamps are specifically designed to be used when loading plate horizontally into presses, shears, guillotines and other industrial machines or where CH clamps are not suitable.

The unique design of the THS allows them to be used individually when loading plate. However, when transporting plate horizontally the THS clamps should be used in pairs.

Other features of this clamp include a spring loaded safety lock that ensures the clamp remains on the plate in the unloaded position prior to lifting.
