Plate Clamp
Plate clamps latch on plates, beams, pipes and sheets and grip them safely while hoisting, transferring, or positioning. Plate clamps are used in factories and warehouses, construction sites, ports and docks, and fabrication plants.
Plate clamps are usually made of steel and coated to resist corrosion. They feature a lifting eye which secures the rigging and often a safety latch or lock.
There are three types of plate clamps for overhead lifting and it is important to select the right clamp for the specific application:
- Vertical lift only
- Horizontal — to and from vertical through a 90-degree plane
- Horizontal — to and from vertical through a 180-degree plan
All Plate Clamps
-
Double Hook Plate Clamp
Double Hook Plate Clamp
The double hook plate clamp is always used in pairs and grips the plate laterally.
-
Horizontal Plate Clamp
Horizontal Plate Clamp
Plate clamps latch on plates, beams, pipes and sheets and grip them safely while hoisting, transferring, or positioning. Plate clamps are used in factories and warehouses, construction sites, ports and docks, and fabrication plants.
Horizontal plate clamps are for use in the lifting and transfer in horizontal position of non-sagging materials or of bundles of non-sagging material. These clamps must be used in pairs or more.
-
Vertical Plate Clamp with Fixed Hoisting Eye
Vertical Plate Clamp with Fixed Hoisting Eye
Plate clamps latch on plates, beams, pipes and sheets and grip them safely while hoisting, transferring, or positioning. Plate clamps are used in factories and warehouses, construction sites, ports and docks, and fabrication plants.
Plate clamp with fixed hoisting eye is used as a single point pick or when used with a spreader beam with multiple vertical drop lines.
-
Vertical Plate Clamp with Hinged Hoisting Eye
Vertical Plate Clamp with Hinged Hoisting Eye
Plate clamps latch on plates, beams, pipes and sheets and grip them safely while hoisting, transferring, or positioning. Plate clamps are used in factories and warehouses, construction sites, ports and docks, and fabrication plants.
The hinged hoisting eye allows for the plate clamp to place and lift the load from any direction, or with a multiple leg sling without side-loading the clamp.
