1t - Lateral Lifting Clamp (Lock Handle type)

Product Description

Product Description: The Super Tools 1 Ton Lateral Lifting Clamp - Lock Handle Type is a reliable and practical plate lifting device designed for the safe lateral and vertical handling of lighter steel plates in fabrication shops, steel service centers, maintenance facilities, shipyards, and general light to medium industrial environments. The lateral lifting clamp is designed to handle steel plates in a horizontal or flat orientation, making it well suited for lifting, transporting, and positioning plate stock that needs to be moved laterally or transferred between work surfaces without being stood on edge. The lock handle mechanism provides a positive manual locking action that secures the jaw in the closed position before and during the lift, giving the operator deliberate control over jaw engagement and release throughout the handling operation.

The clamp body and jaw components are constructed from high-strength alloy steel to provide the structural integrity and wear resistance required for consistent performance under regular industrial use. The lock handle design requires the operator to manually engage and disengage the jaw with a deliberate locking action, preventing accidental jaw release during handling and providing greater confidence when moving plate material through active work areas. The jaw opening accommodates a range of plate thicknesses, and the hardened contact surfaces grip the plate firmly to maintain a secure hold throughout the lift and lateral transfer operation.

At a 1 Ton working load limit, this clamp is well suited for handling lighter steel plates commonly encountered in general fabrication, maintenance work, light structural assembly, and smaller-scale industrial operations. The lock handle type configuration makes this clamp a practical choice for operations where additional jaw security and deliberate release control are important, particularly when plates are being moved over personnel, sensitive equipment, or in confined work areas where accidental release would pose a significant risk. The clamp must be operated strictly within its rated capacity and jaw opening range, and pre-use inspection of all load-bearing components including the lock handle mechanism is required for safe and compliant operation.
