The HLC-F and HLC-FS Horizontal Lifting Clamps are specialized devices for the safe horizontal transport of steel plates, designed to be used in pairs or tripod arrangements.

Jaw Capacity: The HLC-F offers a wide 0-100 mm opening, while the more compact HLC-FS accommodates 0-60 mm.
Secure Gripping: Both models utilize a robust, friction-based cam mechanism to firmly hold plates during transport.
Design Differences: The HLC-FS is lighter and highly compact, whereas the HLC-F is larger to handle wider capacities.
Safe Operation: Must always be used in pairs or sets with proper slings to ensure load stability and safety.

Technical Data
Safe Use of Lifting Clamp

*Must be used in pairs or multiples for stable horizontal transport.

Product Features

Application: Designed for horizontal lifting and transport of steel plates and flat materials.
Versatile Use: Intended to be used in pairs, multiple pairs, or a tripod arrangement for stable lifting.
Model Options:
- HLC-FS: Standard jaw opening.
- HLC-F: Enlarged jaw openings to accommodate thicker or wider plate edges.
Secure Grip: Clamping force increases proportionally with load weight, enhancing security.
Capacity Range: Wide range available from light duty (0.5 t) to heavy duty (10 t) per pair.
Material Suitability: Suitable for lifting single steel plates with surface hardness below 30 HRC.

⚠️ Operational Safety Notes

The capacities shown in the table are based on a set of two clamps.
The top angle between the chain/rope legs must not exceed 30° from vertical (60° included angle).

Universal Lifting Clamp

Vertical Lifting Clamp

Horizontal Lifting Clamp

Selecting the Correct Lifting Clamp

Lifting clamps utilize various mechanisms (lever, cam, roller, or screw) to provide a friction grip on the plate. When selecting a clamp, consider:

Type of Action: Lever, cam, roller, or screw.
Capacity & Thickness: Ensure the clamp is rated for the weight and the plate thickness.
Rigging: Determine if a pendant chain sling is required to provide articulation.

IMPORTANT: Minimum Load Requirement
Some clamps (especially cam action types) rely on a minimum load to engage the gripping force safely. Unless specified otherwise by the manufacturer:
• The load should not be less than 20% of the Safe Working Load (SWL).
• The plate thickness should not be less than 20% of the maximum jaw opening.

Safety Guidelines

Always

Inspect clamps and accessories before use and before storage.
Ensure the clamp is seated fully onto the plate (as far as it will go).
Position the clamp directly over the center of gravity of the load.
Ensure the locking mechanism is fully engaged/tightened before lifting.
Ensure the plate is fully supported and stable before releasing the clamp.
Store clamps in a dry, clean place protected from corrosion.

Never

Never use clamps on hard or polished plates unless specifically designed for them.
Never put packing/shims between the plate and the jaws.
Never lift more than one plate at a time in a single clamp.
Never lower from vertical to horizontal (or vice-versa) unless the clamp is designed for it.
Never obliquely side load a vertical clamp.
Never force or wedge the hoist hook into the eye of the clamp.

Operation & Maintenance

Using Clamps Safely

Do not use defective clamps. Place the clamp over the load center. If the plate is long and tends to bend, use two clamps with a spreader beam to prevent the clamps from twisting. Keep oil, grease, and contaminants away from the gripping jaws.

In-service Inspection

Regularly inspect for:

Wear, damage, or distortion to fixed and moving jaws.
Cracks in the frame or opening out of the body.
Insecure, worn, or bent pins and bolts.
Worn friction grip material (teeth).
Damaged locking levers or tight threads.

⚠️ WARNING: Teeth of jaws must NOT be re-sharpened or re-cut unless specifically approved by the manufacturer.
