JET Sumo Series Heavy Duty Plate Clamp - 1-3/8 in - 3 Ton

Product Description

The JET Sumo Series Heavy Duty Plate Clamp is a 3-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 heavy lifting operations. The jaw opening range of 0 to 1-3/8 inch accommodates a wide variety of plate and structural steel thicknesses commonly encountered in fabrication shops, steel service centres, and construction sites.

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 in demanding heavy lifting applications.

With a 3-ton working load limit, the Sumo Heavy Duty Plate Clamp is suited for heavier plate handling applications than the 1-ton universal model, making it appropriate for thicker plate stock, larger structural members, and higher-capacity lifting programs. The combination of 3-ton rated capacity, 0 to 1-3/8 inch jaw range, safety lock, and heavy-duty steel construction makes this clamp a dependable and capable lifting accessory for steel fabricators, ironworkers, riggers, and industrial maintenance personnel.
