Product Information
Full details
This 1.5 Ton Horizontal Plate Lifting Clamp from SecureFix Direct is designed for professionals who need to safely lift sheet materials in a horizontal orientation. Its primary benefit is providing a secure, non-slip grip that maintains its hold when lifting or lowering. A key consideration is that it must be used in pairs for its rated capacity and requires a minimum loading weight of 20% of its SWL.

FAQs
Can this clamp be used for vertical lifting?
No, this clamp is specifically designed for lifting sheet materials in a horizontal orientation only.
What is the minimum material thickness I can lift?
The minimum thickness is 20% of the jaw opening, plus the minimum opening itself. For the 0-30mm jaw, this means you need to consider the specific jaw setting.
How much weight can one clamp lift?
Each clamp has a capacity of 1.5 Ton, but this rating is only valid when used as a pair.
What does SWL mean?
SWL stands for Safe Working Load, which is the maximum load the equipment is certified to lift safely.
Do I need a special tool to use this clamp?
No, the clamp is designed to be attached and operated manually, but it requires connection to standard lifting equipment such as hoists or cranes.
What maintenance is required?
Regular inspection for wear, cleaning after use, and proper dry storage are recommended. Avoid exposure to corrosive elements.
Where can I find the dimensions (A, B, C, etc.)?
The dimensions are provided in the product description: A (min) -170MM, A (max) - 203MM, B - 165MM, C - 130MM, F - 42.8MM, G - 30.1MM, H - 52.4MM, I - 15.9MM.
Troubleshooting
Clamp not gripping securely
Ensure the material thickness is within the 0-30mm jaw opening. Verify that the material edge is clean and free from obstructions. Check that the minimum loading weight (20% of SWL) is being applied. Inspect gripping surfaces for wear or damage.
Difficulty opening or closing the clamp
Check for debris or foreign objects obstructing the jaw mechanism. Inspect the mechanism for signs of damage or bending. Ensure the clamp is being operated correctly according to its design.
Clamp slips during lifting
This indicates a critical failure. Immediately lower the load safely. Inspect the clamp, the material being lifted, and the lifting procedure. Ensure the minimum load percentage is met and the clamp is suitable for the material's edge condition.
Missing Test Certificate
Contact the supplier immediately. The test certificate is typically sent via email after purchase.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides a secure and reliable grip on horizontal sheet materials.
- Complies with relevant safety standards (BS EN 13155).
- Includes a test certificate for quality assurance.
- Durable construction suitable for industrial use.
- Lightweight for ease of handling.
Cons
- Must be used in pairs to achieve the full 1.5-ton lifting capacity.
- Requires a minimum loading weight of 20% of the Safe Working Load (SWL).
- Jaw opening is limited to 0-30mm, restricting the thickness of materials it can grip.
- Minimum material thickness is dependent on jaw opening and requires specific calculations.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These clamps are designed for immediate use. Ensure the clamp is clean and free of debris. Attach the clamp securely to the edge of the sheet material, ensuring it is within the 0-30mm jaw opening range. Important: For the rated 1.5-ton capacity, two clamps must always be used together, connected via appropriate lifting gear (e.g., a spreader bar or lifting frame). Verify that the total load weight is at least 20% of the combined Safe Working Load (SWL) of the clamps being used.
Compatibility: Compatible with various sheet materials such as steel, aluminum, and potentially others, provided they have a suitable edge and are within the specified thickness and weight limits. It is designed to work with standard lifting equipment like hoists and cranes.
Care: Regularly inspect the clamp for wear and tear, especially on the gripping surfaces and the jaw mechanism. Clean the clamp after each use with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove any dust or residue. Store in a dry environment. Avoid exposing the clamp to corrosive substances. For any signs of damage, cease use immediately and consult the manufacturer.
