MODEL LJ LOCKING TYPE

Product Description

The Renfroe LJ Locking Type Plate Clamp is a manually secured lifting clamp from the Renfroe LJ series, designed for applications where a positive mechanical lock is required to maintain clamping force throughout the lifting, transport, or positioning operation. The locking mechanism provides positive jaw retention that is maintained independent of load direction or magnitude, making the LJ Locking Type well suited for horizontal transport, tilting, and other non-vertical lifting orientations where a self-tightening cam-action clamp may not provide adequate security for the intended application.

The locking screw or locking handle mechanism allows the operator to set the jaw opening to the material thickness, apply controlled clamping force, and engage the lock before the lift begins, providing a reliable and adjustable grip that remains secured throughout the operation. The LJ series locking type configuration is particularly valuable in applications involving thinner or lighter plate where consistent cam engagement may be difficult to achieve, or in any situation where the load orientation, rigging configuration, or operational requirements call for a positively locked clamp rather than a load-dependent cam-action design.

Renfroe LJ Locking Type Plate Clamps are built to the quality and durability standards that define the Renfroe product line, with robust alloy steel construction designed to withstand the demands of repeated industrial use in fabrication shops, steel service centers, and general industrial plate handling environments. Proper clamp selection based on material thickness within the rated jaw opening range, surface condition, and total load weight, combined with thorough pre-use inspection, is essential to safe and reliable performance in every application.

Material: Alloy steel

Uses: Lifting and positioning of flat steel plate and structural material Horizontal transport and tilting applications Applications requiring positive mechanical lock independent of load direction Fabrication shop and steel service center plate handling Situations where load orientation or rigging configuration requires a positively locked clamp

Key Features: LJ series locking type configuration Positive mechanical lock maintains jaw retention independent of load direction or magnitude Suitable for non-vertical lifting orientations where cam-action clamps are not appropriate Adjustable jaw opening to accommodate varying material thicknesses Robust alloy steel construction for repeated industrial use

Note: Always verify material thickness is within the clamp's rated jaw opening range before use. Do not exceed the rated working load limit. Inspect the locking mechanism, jaw, and body before each use. Use only in applications and orientations for which this clamp type is designed and rated.
