3t - Lateral Lifting Clamp (Lock Handle type)

Product Description

Product Description: The Super Tools 3 Ton Lateral Lifting Clamp - Lock Handle Type is a heavy-duty plate lifting device engineered for the safe lateral and vertical handling of steel plates in fabrication shops, steel service centers, shipyards, structural steel operations, and demanding industrial environments. Unlike conventional vertical-only clamps, 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, adding an important layer of safety and operator control to the clamping operation.

The clamp body and jaw components are manufactured from high-strength alloy steel to deliver the structural integrity and durability required for sustained heavy-duty use. The lock handle design allows 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 busy or congested 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 transfer operation.

With a 3 Ton working load limit, this clamp is well suited for handling medium to heavy steel plates commonly encountered in structural fabrication, heavy manufacturing, shipbuilding, and industrial maintenance. The lock handle type configuration makes this clamp particularly practical for operations where additional jaw security and deliberate release control are priorities, such as when plates are being moved over personnel or sensitive equipment. 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 essential for safe and compliant operation.
