THK clamps have a jaw that pivots in the reverse direction to our normal horizontal clamps and are designed to lift and handle thin sheet plates that tend to sag when being lifted.
Features
- Designed to lift and transport thin steel plates in the horizontal position
- The reverse jaw feature ensures that the grip of the clamp increases the more the plate deflects under its own self weight
- Clamps are used in pairs with a two legged chain sling. Two pairs of clamps supported from a lifting beam must be used when handling long plates
- Only lift one plate at a time
- Design factor 4:1
