The PLC Type Pipe Lifting Clamp is a specialized, compact device designed for the safe horizontal lifting and transporting of steel or concrete pipes.
To ensure a safe lift, the top angle of the sling must be adjusted based on the thickness of the material relative to the jaw depth ("B").

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