Horizontal Steel Plate Lifting Clamps (2 Tonne to 10 Tonne)
Designed for the safe, level transport and transfer of non-deflecting steel plates, sheet bundles, and heavy metal slabs, these horizontal lifting clamps are always used in pairs (or multiple sets with a spreader beam). Rated for capacities from 2 tonnes up to 10 tonnes per pair, they feature flat, smooth-resting jaws with hardened steel gripping cams that lock securely onto the plate edges under tension.
Key Features:
* Paired Operational Safety: Designed to be used in pairs attached to a two-leg chain sling or spreader beam for stable, level horizontal lifts.
* Self-Tightening Cam Teeth: Spring-tensioned alloy steel cam serrations grip tighter into the plate edge as the hoisting angle and load increase.
* Generous Jaw Opening: Accommodates single thick steel plates or stacked sheet metal bundles with wide jaw capacities up to 120mm.
* Compact & Heavy-Duty Body: Forged from high-grade alloy steel to resist extreme lateral pressures and bending forces.
* International Safety Compliance: Built and tested to meet international overhead lifting standards (ASME B30.20 / EN 13155).
Applications:
* Horizontal lifting, loading, and unloading of flat steel plates and metal sheets
* Feeding sheet metal onto CNC laser/plasma cutting tables and shearing machines
* Shipyards, steel service centers, pre-cast plants, and structural steel erection
Specifications:
* Capacity Range (Per Pair): 1t, 2t, 3t, 5t, and 10t
* Jaw Opening (Thickness Range): 0 - 50mm (2t) up to 0 --120mm (10t)
* Material: Heavy-duty forged alloy steel
* Safety Factor: 4:1 Design Factor (Proof-tested to 2\times WLL)
