The Camlok CZ Series Vertical Plate Clamp differs from our CZ92 series in that the body of the clamp is a welded construction. The series has a lifting capacity range of 1 to 30 tons. The CZ series clamp can be used to lift plate from the horizontal to vertical position and vice versa. This clamp series is suitable for handling steel plate with a surface hardness of up to 300 Brinell. The standard clamp is fitted with a hook ring this can be replaced with a short length of chain and master link. The clamp can be supplied with alternative body shapes, Clamp jaws and pads are manufactured from high tensile steel and have heat treated serrated teeth.

The CY Non-welded Hinged Universal Clamp is a variant of our successful CZ92 Series Clamp. The clamp has all the innovative design features of the CZ92 clamp and incorporates a hinged hook ring. This device enables the clamp to be used at any angle thus permitting awkward lifts previously considered hazardous. The standard clamp is fitted with a cam operated locking mechanism but this can be replaced (at no additional cost) by a chain pull locking mechanism. The CY range is fitted with hardened steel pads and jaws that incorporate tooth wear indicators. The clamp is designed to lift and handle plate with a surface hardness up to 300 Brinell. Contact our sales/technical department if plate to be lifted has a higher surface hardness. Other clamps in our range are available for this application.

The Camlok Series CX range of clamps has been developed especially for the handling of plate at any angle, thus permitting the lifting and handling of awkward shaped plate and fabrications. Single plates can be lifted from the horizontal to the vertical position and vice versa. Vertically racked plates can be turned over due to the in-built lifting eye and link. Standard CX clamps are fitted with a cam operated closing mechanism that can, if preferred, be replaced with a chain pull open /close mechanism. Clamps are fitted with hardened serrated teeth, jaws and pads that are suitable for gripping steel plate up to a hardness of 300 Brinell.

The Twin Jaw Range of Clamps from Camlok have been designed specifically for lifting steel plates. The main difference between these and the single jaw clamps is that the TJC has a unique twin moving jaw arrangement. This Design means the TJC can be used in applications where a larger jaw capacity is required, with a low minimum weight.

Camlok Hand Grip Clamp's are suited to the individual transport of light and thin plates. It has a jaw capacity of up to 10mm, and can lift up to 250kg. The Unit itself weighs only 1.4kg.

The TSB gentle grip clamp is designed to lift and handle various types of material such as steel, timber, plastics, laminates etc. without causing damage to the surface finish. The fixed pad and horizontally moving jaw are lined with hard wearing rubber. The lateral gripping load is transmitted to the moving jaw via a short length of chain routed between two chain pulleys. The clamp can be used to lift plates from the horizontal to vertical position and vice versa.

Options on Camlok grip non marking plate clamp - 350kg/plate diameter 0 - 65mm, 750kg/plate diameter 0 - 65mm, 1250kg/jaw opening 0 - 65mm.

The LJ range of clamps is specifically designed to lift plates without marking or damaging the surface finish. The clamp is suitable for lifting various types of plate materials. eg. - steel, timber etc. The clamp is particularly suitable for lifting thin gauge steel plate, aluminium and stainless steel. The clamp is also suitable for steel with a surface hardness above 300 Brinell.

Options on Camlok Non marking clamp - 500kg/plate diameter 0 - 10mm, 1500kg/plate diameter 0 - 20mm.

This is a clamp for lifting in all positions without marking the surface of smooth or polished pieces of stainless steel, aluminium, laminated wood, concrete, plastic, glass plates and welded plate assemblies. This clamp is fitted with an automatic gripping mechanism: the locking handle is designed to fit the clamp over the edge of the object to be moved and the automatic locking on the trigger grips the piece to be lifted.

The clamps are fitted with a safety spring mechanism for a permanent contact of the cam onto the piece to be lifted, even when it's being put down. This has an automatic grasping system, ensuring the clamp locks when the plate is correctly positioned. The locking lever does not stick out so the clamp may be used on the bare ground. The corrugated cam only marks one side of the load.

Horizontal to Vertical Plate Lifting Clamp has been developed to provide the user with a safe to use and easy to handle plate lifting tool.

The locking mechanism provides an additional safety feature for the operator.

The Camlok Adjustable Height Horizontal Plate Clamp is designed to lift and transport thick plate and plate bundles in the horizontal position. The clamps are used in pairs for short lengths of plate. For longer plate lengths 2 pairs of clamps suspended from a lifting beam are used. The height of the jaw pivot arm is easily adjusted via a spring locked rack and lock bar device. The clamping jaw is always positively brought into the correct position ensuring a safe and secure lift.

The Camlok THK Clamp has a jaw that pivots in the reverse direction to our normal horizontal clamps and is designed to lift and handle thin sheet plate that tend to sag when lifted. The reverse jaw feature ensures that the clamp grip increases the more the plate deflects under its own self weight. Clamps are used in pairs with a 2 legged chain sling (maximum included angle not to exceed 60º). Two pairs of clamps supported from a lifting beam must be used when handling long plates. Single plates only can be lifted.

This range of horizontal plate clamps has been designed, to be used in pairs, for the horizontal transporting of individual and bundled plate. Whilst the basic design is the same, there are three different versions available.

RH Series - This range is fitted with a steel roller for reduced marking of the plates.
WH Series - The jaw is this range has hardened steel teeth for applications where the marking of plates is not an issue.
WHL Series - With a protective rubber lining on the jaw and the toe plate, this range totally eliminates any risk of marking.

Horizontal plate lifting clamps are designed to be used as original in pairs only.

Their rigidly competent designs incorporate an easily replaceable toothed cam toe which ensures maximum grip and hold. The standard jaw  apertures allow for a wide range of mild steel plate thickness to be horizontally lifted. Parts are easily replaceable.
