Read MoreUnderstanding Lifting Clamps
Lifting clamps are mechanical devices designed to provide a secure connection between the load and the lifting equipment. They are typically used when the load does not have a natural point of lift, such as a hole or a hook. They come in various designs and capacities, each suited to a specific type of load or lifting operation.
They are a reliable solution to ensure safe lifting operations in a variety of industries, from construction and material handling to marine and aerospace. Lifting clamps are an ideal solution for any lifting operation that requires a secure connection between the load and the lifting equipment.
Types of Lifting Clamps
There are several types of lifting clamps available, each designed for a specific purpose:
- Vertical Lifting Clamps: These clamps are designed for lifting and transferring steel plates in a vertical position. They are equipped with a locking mechanism that ensures the clamp doesn’t slip when the load is lifted or lowered. These clamps are typically used in shipbuilding, construction, and other industries where heavy steel plates need to be moved.
- Horizontal Lifting Clamps: Horizontal lifting clamps are used for the safe handling of plates in a horizontal position. They are ideal for transporting steel plates from one location to another, such as moving them onto a truck or into a storage area. The design of these clamps allows for a secure grip on the load, reducing the risk of slippage.
- Beam Clamps: Beam clamps are also commonly referred to as a girder clamp, they are designed to be used as a temporary means of fixing a lifting point to a beam or girder, generally a lightweight piece of equipment they can in most cases be easily transported around a work site for use in several different locations.
- Girder Lifting Clamps: These are specifically designed for the lifting and positioning of girders and other structural sections. They provide a secure grip on the girder, allowing it to be lifted and moved safely and efficiently. They are commonly used in construction and industrial settings, particularly in the assembly of steel structures.
- Rail Lifting Clamps: Rail lifting clamps are used for the safe and efficient lifting and positioning of rails. They are commonly used in the railway industry for the construction and maintenance of rail tracks. These clamps are designed to grip the rail securely, reducing the risk of slippage during lifting. They can handle a variety of rail profiles, making them a versatile tool for any rail-related lifting operation.
Key Features of Our Lifting Clamps
Our lifting clamps are designed with safety and efficiency in mind. They are made from high-quality materials to ensure durability and reliability. Key features include:
- High Load Capacity: Our clamps are designed to handle heavy loads, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

FAQs
What are lifting clamps for?
Lifting clamps are used to securely grip and lift loads in material handling applications. They provide a connection point between the load and the lifting device, such as a crane or hoist.
Can you lift with a beam clamp?
Yes, beam clamps are specifically designed for lifting, suspending, and rigging beams and other structural elements. They provide a secure grip on the beam, ensuring it can be safely lifted and moved.
What is a vertical clamp?
A vertical clamp, also known as a vertical lifting clamp, is used for lifting and transferring steel plates in a vertical position. They are equipped with a locking mechanism that ensures the clamp doesn’t slip when the load is lifted or lowered.
Can lifting clamps be used for lifting drums and barrels?
While some clamps can be used for lifting drums and barrels, it’s important to use a clamp that is specifically designed for this purpose to ensure safety and efficiency. Always check the manufacturer’s guidelines before using a lifting clamp for a specific application.
How much pressure can a clamp hold?
The amount of pressure a clamp can hold, often referred to as its clamping force, depends on its design, size, and the material it’s made from. It’s important to check the manufacturer’s specifications to ensure the clamp is suitable for the intended load.
