FAQs
What is the maximum pulling capacity of this clamp?
The Power-Tec clamp has a maximum pulling capacity of 5 tonnes.
What is the width of the clamp's jaws?
The jaws are 45mm wide.
Does this clamp come with a pulling system?
No, the clamp comes with an integrated pull yoke for attachment to your existing pulling system (e.g., hydraulic ram, winch chain).
Can this clamp be used for light-duty tasks?
While it can be used, its 5-tonne capacity is designed for heavy-duty structural repairs. For very light tasks, a smaller clamp might be more appropriate.
What materials can this clamp be used on?
It is designed for use on steel frames and body panels common in automotive repair.
Is this clamp compatible with other brands' pulling equipment?
The clamp is designed to connect via its pull yoke, so it should be compatible with most standard pulling systems. However, testing is recommended for non-Power-TEC equipment.
How do I maintain the clamp?
Clean the jaws after each use, inspect for damage, and lubricate moving parts periodically. Store in a dry place.
Troubleshooting
Clamp slips during pulling operation.
Ensure jaws are clean and free of grease or debris. Check that the clamp is positioned on a strong, suitable structural point. Verify that the jaws are fully closed and gripping the material evenly. Consider if the material thickness is appropriate for the 45mm jaw width.
Pull yoke is difficult to attach to.
Check the yoke for any obstructions or damage. Ensure the pulling chain, hook, or connector is the correct size and type for the yoke. Clean any debris from the yoke's opening.
Clamp shows signs of deformation or cracking.
Immediately cease use. The clamp has likely been subjected to forces exceeding its 5-tonne capacity or applied incorrectly. Inspect the area of damage and the vehicle part being pulled for underlying issues. The clamp should be replaced.
Difficulty achieving a strong grip on curved surfaces.
While the 45mm jaws offer a wide grip, extreme curves may require repositioning or using a secondary clamp if possible. Ensure the clamp is positioned to maximize contact area on the accessible surface.
