The JET Sumo Series Heavy Duty Plate Clamp is a 1-ton rated steel lifting clamp designed for the vertical and horizontal lifting, positioning, and transport of steel plates, structural members, and flat stock in fabrication, construction, and industrial maintenance environments. Constructed from steel, the Sumo plate clamp provides the structural integrity and durability required to withstand the dynamic and static loads encountered during repeated lifting operations. The jaw opening range of 0 to 7/8 inch is suited for thinner plate stock and sheet steel applications, accommodating the plate thicknesses most commonly encountered in light fabrication, sheet metal work, and general steel handling operations.
The safety lock mechanism prevents accidental jaw release during lifting and load positioning, providing an additional layer of security beyond the self-tightening cam action typical of plate clamps. Under load, the cam jaw grips the plate more firmly as the load increases, ensuring a secure hold throughout the lift. The safety lock adds a positive retention feature that prevents the clamp from opening if the load is momentarily slackened or set down during a multi-stage lift or positioning operation, reducing the risk of unintended release.
The combination of 1-ton rated capacity, 0 to 7/8 inch jaw range, safety lock, and heavy-duty steel construction makes this Sumo plate clamp well suited for lighter plate handling applications where a narrower jaw range is appropriate for the plate thicknesses being handled. This model complements the wider jaw range Sumo models in applications where thinner plate stock is the primary material being lifted and positioned.
