3t Nova Horizontal Lifting Clamp - Set of 2

Product Description

The Nova Horizontal Lifting Clamp is a steel plate clamp designed for the horizontal lifting and handling of flat steel plates, structural steel, and similar flat materials. Sold as a set of two, these clamps are used in pairs to provide balanced, stable lifts when moving plate stock in a horizontal orientation. The clamping mechanism engages the plate edge securely under load, with the grip force increasing proportionally as the load weight increases, providing a self-locking action that enhances safety during the lift.

Each clamp in the set is rated to a working load limit of 3 Ton and features a jaw opening range of 0 to 1.77 inches, accommodating a range of plate thicknesses within that span. The clamps are designed for use on materials with a maximum hardness of 30 HRC (285 HV or 300 HB), which covers the majority of standard structural and mild steel plate applications. A minimum working load of 20% of the maximum WLL must be maintained during use to ensure the clamping mechanism remains properly engaged and the load is held securely.

Nova Horizontal Lifting Clamps are suited for use in steel service centers, fabrication shops, shipyards, construction sites, and heavy industrial environments where flat plate needs to be lifted, positioned, or transferred horizontally. When used as a matched pair with a properly rated spreader beam or lifting fixture, they provide a controlled and reliable method for handling plate material without the need for slings or other rigging that may damage the plate surface or edges.
