Remote Release and Drop Test Clamps

An innovative range of drop test and remote release clamps with various styles and capacities available upon request.

This Drop Test clamp is a unique product to LiftingSafety, having developed many years ago for dropping concrete sea defence weights into the sea the drop test clamp is making its revival. We decided to optimize the dropping clamp and have taken orders from all industry sectors for applications that would never have been considered at the time it was envisaged. This drop test clamp otherwise often referred to as a dropping clamp can be used to remotely release load weighing up to 25 tonnes or even greater capacities on request. The load is attached to the clamp by a master link. The clamp has an interlock system that will prevent accidental release of the load if one of the release rope is pulled during the lifting phase of the operation The dropping of any load is a dangerous activity and therefore we emphasise that the operation and user manual must be adhered to in along with the user risk assessment and method statement.

Model: DTC-2809 
Motorised 24VDC Drop Test Clamp

2.  Crane slung drop test clamp.

The clamp works by an electric motor turning a camshaft. The main drop cam has a hollow segment so that when it aligns with the release arm the jaws of the clamp can open. A high torque brush less stepper motor is used to drive the clamp, the control inverter is used to lock the motor in position The motor drives the cam via a toothed belt and overrun dog clutch. The dog clutch protects the motor and drive from the release torque by allowing the camshaft to accelerate ahead of the drive. A limit switch controls the motor so that the drive rotates the camshaft through 180º in successive steps.
