FAQs

What is the maximum lifting capacity of this clamp?

The maximum lifting capacity is 4.5 Ton (4500kg).

What is the acceptable range for plate thickness?

The jaw opening accommodates plates from 25mm to 50mm in thickness, with a minimum recommended thickness of 30mm.

Is this clamp suitable for lifting plates horizontally?

No, this clamp is specifically designed for vertical lifting and turning of plate material.

What is the minimum load requirement for safe operation?

The minimum load must be at least 20% of the Safe Working Load (SWL), which equates to 900KG for this 4.5 Ton clamp.

Does this clamp meet safety standards?

Yes, the clamp conforms to BS EN 13155 standards for lifting equipment.

Can I get a test certificate for this clamp?

Yes, a test certificate is included and can be sent via email upon request.

How should I clean and maintain the clamp?

Clean with a dry or damp cloth after use, store in a dry place, and periodically inspect and lubricate moving parts. Refer to the 'Care' section for detailed instructions.

Troubleshooting

Clamp does not grip the plate securely.

Ensure the plate thickness is within the 25-50mm range and meets the minimum 30mm requirement. Check that the clamp jaws are clean and free of debris. Verify the plate's weight meets the minimum load requirement (900KG).

Difficulty opening or closing the clamp jaws.

Inspect the jaws and mechanism for dirt, debris, or obstructions. Clean the mechanism thoroughly. If damage is apparent, discontinue use and seek professional inspection or repair.

Articulating shackle appears stiff or restricted.

Clean the shackle area and lubricate the pivot points with appropriate industrial lubricant. Ensure no foreign objects are impeding movement.

Clamp shows signs of corrosion or rust.

Clean the affected area and apply a rust inhibitor or appropriate protective coating. If corrosion is deep or affects structural integrity, remove the clamp from service.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High lifting capacity for substantial loads.
  • Secure grip technology prevents slippage.
  • Designed for versatile vertical plate handling.
  • Compliance with international safety standards (BS EN 13155).
  • Durable construction for professional use.
  • Articulating shackle enhances maneuverability.

Cons

  • Requires adherence to strict minimum load and thickness specifications.
  • Limited jaw opening range (25-50mm) may not suit all plate thicknesses.
  • Not suitable for horizontal lifting applications.
  • Minimum load must be 20% of SWL, limiting use with very light plates.
  • Minimum thickness requirement can exclude thinner materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Inspect: Before each use, visually inspect the clamp for any signs of damage, wear, or foreign material.
  2. Jaw Adjustment: Adjust the clamp's jaw opening to suit the thickness of the plate being lifted. Ensure the plate thickness meets the minimum requirement of 30MM.
  3. Attachment: Securely attach the clamp to the edge of the vertical plate. Ensure it is firmly seated.
  4. Load Check: Verify that the plate's weight is at least 20% of the clamp's Safe Working Load (SWL) of 4.5 Ton (i.e., minimum 900KG).

Compatibility:

  • Plate Material: Primarily designed for steel plate.
  • Plate Thickness: Compatible with plate thicknesses ranging from 25MM to 50MM, with a minimum requirement of 30MM.
  • Lifting Method: Requires a compatible overhead crane, hoist, or other lifting device.
  • Standard: Conforms to BS EN 13155.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the clamp after use with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt, grease, or debris, especially from the jaw surfaces and non-slip mechanism.
  • Storage: Store the clamp in a clean, dry environment away from corrosive substances and extreme temperatures.
  • Maintenance: Periodically inspect all moving parts, pins, and the articulating shackle for wear or damage. Lubricate moving parts as needed.
  • Regular Inspections: Follow recommended inspection schedules as per safety regulations or manufacturer guidelines.
