Choosing lifting clamps for the application
Lifting clamps cover a wide range of plate, beam and material-handling applications. Selection depends on the material, thickness, orientation of the lift, required capacity and the way the clamp will connect into the lifting arrangement.
Material and thickness
Send the material type, thickness range and any relevant surface condition or hardness information.
Direction of loading
State whether the requirement is for vertical, horizontal or another defined lifting arrangement.
Capacity and connection
Provide the load, number of clamps, sling arrangement and connection dimensions where known.
Lifting clamps enquiries
What details help identify the correct lifting clamp?
Provide the load, material, thickness, lifting direction, quantity and photographs or drawings. If replacing an existing clamp, include its model and markings.
Can the same clamp be used for every plate-lifting task?
No. Different clamp designs are intended for different materials, thicknesses and loading directions. The clamp and complete lifting arrangement must match the task.
Send the application details you have and the Durham Lifting team can review what is needed for a quotation.
