IPU10 Universal Lifting Clamp
Lifts in any direction, with a full 180° turning range
0.5 – 30.0 t
per clamp
Universal - for lifting in any direction.
The clamp that does the most jobs. It lifts vertically, turns a plate through 180°, and transfers horizontally — so one clamp covers work that would otherwise need two types. Lock-open and lock-closed with a latch lets you pretension onto the plate and release it deliberately.
