Product Information
Full details
This Ace Vertical Plate Lifting Clamp (SFVLC3) is designed for professionals in construction, manufacturing, and shipping who need to safely lift and maneuver steel plates vertically. Its key benefit is a secure, non-slip grip that ensures stability during lifting and lowering operations. A primary caveat is the adherence to specific minimum load and steel thickness requirements to ensure safe operation. This clamp offers a robust 3-ton lifting capacity, a versatile jaw opening of 0-30mm, and conforms to BS EN 13155 standards for assured quality and safety. It features an articulating shackle for smooth, adaptable handling of plate material.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the maximum lifting capacity of this clamp?
The Ace SFVLC3 has a maximum lifting capacity of 3 tons (3000 kg).
What is the range for the jaw opening?
The jaw opening can be adjusted from 0 to 30mm.
Does this clamp conform to any safety standards?
Yes, this clamp conforms to BS EN 13155 standards for lifting equipment.
What is the minimum steel thickness this clamp can handle?
The minimum steel thickness required is 6mm.
Is a test certificate included with the clamp?
A test certificate is available and can be sent via email upon request.
Can this clamp be used for horizontal lifting?
No, this clamp is specifically designed for vertical lifting and turning of plate material.
What is the minimum load weight required for safe operation?
The minimum load weight must be at least 20% of the Safe Working Load (SWL), which equates to a minimum of 600kg for this 3-ton clamp.
Troubleshooting
Clamp does not grip the plate securely.
Ensure the plate thickness is within the 0-30mm jaw opening range and meets the minimum 6mm steel thickness requirement. Verify the load is at least 600kg (20% of SWL). Check for any debris or obstructions on the plate surface or clamp jaws.
Difficulty attaching the clamp to the plate.
Adjust the jaw opening to match the plate thickness. Ensure the clamp is oriented correctly for vertical engagement. If the plate is warped or has significant surface imperfections, it may affect grip.
Articulating shackle appears stiff or difficult to move.
Inspect the shackle for any dirt or debris. Lubricate lightly with an appropriate industrial lubricant if necessary. Avoid forcing the shackle if significant resistance is met, as this may indicate damage.
Clamp slips during lifting or lowering.
Immediately cease operation and lower the load safely. Re-evaluate the load weight, plate thickness, and condition. Ensure the clamp is fully engaged and the non-slip mechanism is functioning correctly. Do not use if slipping persists.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Secure and reliable non-slip grip.
- High lifting capacity suitable for substantial loads.
- Meets recognized European safety standards (BS EN 13155).
- Articulating shackle enhances operational flexibility.
- Robust build quality for industrial use.
Cons
- Requires a minimum load of 600kg (20% of SWL).
- Minimum steel thickness requirement of 6mm.
- Jaw opening is limited to 30mm maximum.
- Specific operational conditions (minimum load and thickness) must be met for safety.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the clamp is compatible with the steel plate dimensions (thickness within 0-30mm and minimum steel thickness of 6mm) and that the load does not exceed the 3-ton (3000kg) lifting capacity. Verify the load is at least 20% of the Safe Working Load (SWL), meaning a minimum of 600kg. Attach the clamp securely to the plate by opening the jaws to the appropriate size and allowing the clamp to engage fully. Connect your lifting equipment (e.g., hoist, crane) to the articulating shackle.
Compatibility: This clamp is designed for vertical lifting and turning of plate material. It is compatible with steel plates that meet the specified thickness and jaw opening requirements. Ensure the lifting equipment used is rated appropriately for the load.
Care: Inspect the clamp before each use for any signs of wear, damage, or deformation, particularly on the jaws and the shackle. Clean the clamp regularly using a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Store the clamp in a dry environment when not in use. For critical applications, consider periodic professional inspection and testing, and request the test certificate if needed.
