Clamp Information
The Camlok High Grip Clamp has an additional lever in the clamping mechanism thus asserting a very high gripping force on the plate being lifted. The clamp has been designed to lift plates with hardened surfaces and for stainless steel plates. The clamp is suitable for use with materials up to 376 Brinell surface hardness. Clamps can be used for lifting and turning plates from the horizontal to vertical or vice versa. The standard clamp is fitted with a hook ring but can alternatively be supplied with a short length of chain NOTE: Clamp will mark the surface of the material being lifted.

ApplicationThe Camlok series of high grip plate lifting clamps can be used on all structural steel plates and sections up to a surface hardness of 376 Brinell. They develop a much higher grip on the plate than the normal universal type and can be used for lifting and turning plates from the horizontal to vertical to horizontal through 180° or vice versa. They are particularly useful for lifting stainless steel or plates with hardened surfaces. |

The standard clamp is fitted with a hook ring but can alternatively be supplied with a short length of chain and master link. This aids in the attachment to larger crane hooks and prevents accidental release when fast lowering. Additional jaw sizes are also available.
