DE-G Adjustable Horizontal Plate Clamp for Sheet Bundles (3,000 kg - 12,000 kg WLL Per Pair)

Enhance the safety, stability, and efficiency of your heavy lifting operations with the highly versatile DE-G Plate Clamp. Expertly engineered for heavy-duty industrial use, this height-adjustable clamp is the definitive solution for the safe horizontal transport of single thick metal sheets, large steel structures, and stacked bundles of sheet metal.

Manufactured in the EU to the highest engineering standards, the DE-G plate clamp combines robust durability with precise adjustability, ensuring your demanding materials are handled securely and efficiently every time.

Core Operational Advantages & Features

• Adjustable Gripping Range: Features a highly adaptable, height-adjustable gripping range of 0 mm to 200 mm. This makes it exceptionally suited for gripping extra-thick individual plates or safely securing entire stacked bundles of sheet metal in a single lift.
• Heavy-Duty Capacity: Designed for demanding fabrication and shipping environments, offering a massive Working Load Limit (WLL) ranging from 3,000 kg up to 12,000 kg (12 Tonnes) per pair.
• Versatile Rigging Options: Ergonomic handles allow the clamp to be effortlessly integrated into your existing site equipment, supporting lifts via standard two-leg slings or specialized spreader beams.
• Targeted Material Compatibility: The gripping teeth are specifically engineered for optimal friction and safety when used on steel and metal materials featuring a surface hardness strictly below 37 HRC.
• Premium European Build: Proudly Made in the EU to ensure the highest standards of quality control, structural integrity, and long-lasting mechanical reliability.

Critical Safe-Lifting Geometry

To ensure absolute load stability and prevent dangerous sagging or load shifts, operators must adhere strictly to the following operational requirements:

• Minimum Setup: Flexible sheets and bundles must be lifted using a minimum of two pairs of clamps (four clamps total) attached to a lifting beam to maintain perfect horizontal stability.
• Oversized Loads: Longer, wider, or highly flexible sheet metals will require more than two pairs of clamps distributed evenly along the spreader beam to prevent center sagging and ensure a perfectly balanced lift.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I lift a steel plate horizontally using just one pair of DE-G clamps?
A: For safety and stability, Craneplex mandates that sheets must be lifted using a minimum of two pairs (four clamps) attached to a lifting beam. This prevents the plate from sagging, bending, or slipping out of the jaws.

Q: Can this clamp handle multiple stacked sheets at once?
A: Yes. The DE-G model features a highly adjustable gripping range of 0 to 200 mm, making it explicitly designed and ideal for lifting stacked bundles of sheet metal simultaneously.

Q: What is the maximum load capacity?
A: The capacity is rated per pair. Depending on the exact model you select, the Working Load Limit ranges from 3,000 kg up to 12,000 kg (12 Tonnes) per pair of clamps.

Q: What is the maximum material hardness this clamp can safely grip?
A: The gripping mechanism on the DE-G is engineered for standard steel and metal surfaces with a material hardness strictly below 37 HRC.

Q: Does this equipment meet UK workplace safety regulations?
A: Yes. The DE-G Plate Clamp is fully UKCA marked and strictly adheres to the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, alongside harmonised BS EN 13155 lifting standards.
