CM® CZ8L CZ Universal Plate Clamp, 2,150 lb to 17,600 lb Working Load Limit, 2 in to 4 in Jaw Capacity

CZ plate clamps can be used on all hot rolled structural steel plates and sections up to a surface hardness of 300 Brinell (32HRC).

• Body of clamp is welded construction
• Can be used to lift a plate from the horizontal to vertical position and vice versa through 180°
• Clamp jaws and pads are manufactured from high-tensile steel
• Fitted with a hold open and lock closed lever. To initiate the self actuating force, a spring is incorporated into the clamp to give an initial bite on the material. If the plate should start to slip during lifting, the cam shape of the jaw turns with the material and increases the gripping force
• The cam handle is ergonomically designed with a flat surface to allow for ease of operation while wearing protective gloves and connects to the cam via a robust square drive
• Unlike others, these plate clamps are designed with a sloping slot, which increases the grip on the load when the clamp is in the horizontal position
• Design factor 4:1
