A plate lifting clamp is a mechanical device used to grip and lift metal plates and sheets. They are often used in industries like construction, manufacturing and steel fabrication where handling sheets of metal is a routine task.
How do plate lifting clamps work?
Plate lifting clamps work by using a mechanical gripping jaw mechanism to securely hold onto the plate, creating a lifting point that can be used with a crane or hoist.
You can buy these lifting clamps in a variety of different load capacities and jaw sizes, making plate lifting clamps suitable for various thicknesses and weights of steel.
What are the different types of plate lifting clamps?
Plate lifting clamps come in two major types:
- Vertical Clamps: Designed for lifting plates in a vertical (upright) orientation. For example, this LiftinGear Vertical Plate Clamp that is available in five sizes: 0.5T, 1T, 2T, 3T and 5T.
