DE-Z Clamp & Lifting Beam System for Horizontal Plates (5,300 kg WLL)

Ensure safe, efficient, and perfectly balanced handling of heavy materials with the complete Clamp & Lifting Beam DE-Z (Horizontal) system. Engineered for demanding industrial environments, this premium lifting solution combines a heavy-duty spreader beam with precision clamps. It is specifically designed for the secure lifting and horizontal transfer of single, stiff metal sheets.

Proudly Made in the EU, this integrated system is an essential, high-performance addition to manufacturing plants, shipyards, and heavy-duty steel fabrication workshops across the UK.

Core Operational Advantages & Features

• Massive Adjustable Gripping Range: Features an exceptionally versatile, fully adjustable gripping range from 80 mm all the way up to an immense 3000 mm, easily accommodating massive variations in sheet sizes.
• Heavy-Duty Lifting Capacity: Built for substantial industrial loads, the complete DE-Z system boasts a formidable Working Load Limit (WLL) of 5,300 kg (5.3 Tonnes).
• Ready for Immediate Deployment: Avoid the hassle of matching rigging hardware. The DE-Z system is supplied complete with a high-strength 3-leg chain sling featuring highly durable BWW hooks, making it ready to use straight out of the box.
• Calibrated Lifting Geometry: The included 3-leg sling is specifically calibrated for safe working angles between 15° and 30° from the vertical, ensuring maximum stability, perfect balance, and optimal load distribution during transit.
• Premium European Build: Proudly manufactured in the EU to guarantee exceptional quality control, robust structural integrity, and long-lasting mechanical reliability.

Critical Safe-Lifting Guidelines

• Material Stiffness Requirement: The DE-Z system is optimised for lifting single sheets of metal. However, it is strictly required that the transferred sheet must be sufficiently stiff and rigid to prevent hazardous center-bending or deflection during transport.

Strict UK Safety & Statutory Certification

When it comes to complex overhead lifting systems, workplace safety is non-negotiable. The DE-Z Lifting Beam and Clamp system is strictly tested and certified to meet the highest UK and European safety directives:

• UKCA Approved: Fully certified and regulatory-ready for legal trade and industrial deployment within the United Kingdom.
• Statutory Machinery Laws: Fully complies with the mandatory health and safety directives of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
• Harmonised Industry Standards: Designed, manufactured, and tested in strict alignment with:
• BS EN 13155: Cranes – Safety – Non-fixed load lifting attachments

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Does this product include the lifting slings?
A: Yes. The DE-Z is supplied as a complete, ready-to-use system. It includes a high-strength 3-leg chain sling equipped with durable BWW hooks.

Q: Can I use this system to lift thin, flexible metal sheets?
A: No. Safety guidelines strictly dictate that the transferred sheet must be sufficiently stiff. Lifting highly flexible sheets that bend or sag in the middle can create hazardous instability during transport.

Q: What is the maximum plate size the DE-Z beam can handle?
A: The beam features a highly versatile adjustable gripping range, capable of accommodating structural sheets from 80 mm up to a massive 3000 mm (3 metres) wide.

Q: Why are the working angles for the sling specified between 15° and 30°?
A: These specific angles ensure the tension forces are distributed correctly across the spreader beam and the clamps. Deviating from these angles can compromise the clamping force and the overall stability of the 5.3-tonne load.

Q: Is this lifting system legally compliant for UK fabrication sites?
A: Yes. The DE-Z system is fully UKCA marked and strictly adheres to the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, alongside harmonised BS EN 13155 safety standards.
