Plate Clamp - Horizontal

Plate Clamp - Horizontal

M&W

The M&W Horizontal Lifting Clamp is a clamp designed to safely lift and transport rolled steel plates or bundles of plates to another location while the plate or bundles of plates remain in a horizontal position. The clamp when employed in a lift must be used in pairs, or sets of pairs, or multiples, and attached to the side edges of a plate or bundle of plates positioned parallel to the floor. The rigging attached to the clamps is usually made up of multi-legged slings connected to a central hoisting point. The angle of the sling leg to the plate should be 60 degrees as illustrated in the diagram below. Lesser angles will necessitate a reduction in WLL of the clamp

Most of what we sell below the hook is engineered to the load. Send us the weight, the pick points and the headroom and we'll have it designed, built and proof tested.
