Features and Benefits

  • Hinged Hook Ring Design
    Ensures consistent clamping force at any angle, allowing safe handling of plates in both vertical and horizontal orientations.
  • Reduce the Need for Extra Rigging Equipment
    In addition to transporting plates, this clamp is suitable for turning steel structures and welded constructions.
  • Hinged Hook Ring
    Gives the advantage of providing enough clamping force to hold a plate safely. Even when transporting large-sized plates with the 2-legged lifting system slipping of the load and damage to the clamp is avoided.
  • Eliminates Need for Spreader Beam
    When used in pairs with a two-legged chain sling, it can lift longer plates without requiring a spreader beam, simplifying rigging..
  • Multi-Angle Lifting Capability
    Enables lifting from horizontal to vertical and vice versa, or gripping from the side—ideal for versatile plate positioning.
  • Unique Designed Hook Ring
    The specially shaped hook ring translates the tension of the lift into mechanical leverage, magnifying the gripping force on the clamp's jaws as the load weight increases, ensuring a secure, self-actuating hold without slipping
  • Versatility
    Fitted with a cam-operated closing mechanism that can be replaced with a chain pull open/close mechanism
  • Swiveling Hook Ring
    Allows clamps to be attached in any position on the plate, improving ease of use and adaptability in tight or awkward spaces.
  • Service-Friendly
    These plate clamps are service-friendly, making it easy to exchange parts, which are readily available. Clamp repairs must be done by a trained person.
  • Replaceable Cam-Operated Mechanism
    Offers easy maintenance and optional upgrade to a chain pull mechanism, extending product life and reducing downtime.
  • Design Factor
    4:1
  • Product Group
    I2
