CM® LJ1500 LJ Gentle Grip Clamp, 60 lb and 1,100 lb Working Load Limit, 0 in to 3/8 in Jaw Capacity

LJ plate clamps can be used to lift and turn all structural steel plates, including stainless steel, iron and aluminum, without marking or damaging the surface.

• Designed to lift thin-gauge steel plates, stainless steel, iron, timber, and aluminum without marring or damaging the surface
• Lifts plates from the horizontal to vertical position and vice versa through 180°
• The performance on the leather jaws is not affected by standing water so the clamp can be used with submerged plasma cutting machines
• The LJ clamp is suitable for surface hardness greater than 300 Brinell (32HRC)
• Minimum load will not affect the LJ clamps as they do not have teeth for bite. However some load is required to combat friction in the clamp. Extra care must be taken when lifting plates in the lower 20% of their rated capacity. Thin plates are best lifted with the fixed jaw on top when performing a horizontal to vertical lift
• The clamp may not be suitable for lifting highly polished plates where the polish process may leave lubricating compounds
• Design factor 4:1
