DE-T Non-Marking Plate Clamp for Trapezoidal Sheets TR40/183 (200 kg WLL)

Ensure safe, efficient, and damage-free lifting on your site with the DE-T Plate Clamp for Trapezoidal Sheets. Specifically engineered for the vertical transportation of TR40/183 profile metal sheets, this premium lifting clamp is an essential, high-performance tool for roofing contractors, construction professionals, and industrial manufacturers.

Manufactured in the EU to the highest engineering standards, this clamp guarantees structural integrity and full compliance with rigorous UK and European safety regulations, allowing you to lift delicate roofing materials with absolute confidence.

Core Operational Advantages & Features

• Damage-Free Lifting Technology: When handling pre-coated, painted, or delicate roofing sheets, maintaining the material's finish is critical. The DE-T features specialised non-scratching jaws manufactured from a soft, high-friction material that grips securely without leaving bite marks or indentations.
• Manual Jaw Pre-Compression: Equipped with a manual jaw pre-compression mechanism that guarantees a firm, slip-free grip from the exact moment the load is engaged, providing immediate security before the crane hoist takes the weight.
• Ready for Immediate Deployment: To maximise your operational efficiency on site, this holder is supplied complete with a robust wire rope sling, meaning it is ready to be attached to your hoist or crane straight out of the box.
• Profile-Specific Precision: Geometrically designed and perfectly tailored to securely accommodate TR40/183 profile sheets, featuring a flexible gripping range from 0 mm up to 55 mm.
• Premium European Build: Proudly Made in the EU, guaranteeing high-grade materials, robust structural integrity, and long-lasting durability in demanding outdoor construction environments.

Best Practices for Oversized Sheets

For optimal safety, balance, and load stability when transporting longer trapezoidal sheets, we highly recommend using two or more clamps simultaneously. These clamps should be distributed evenly in relation to the sheet's centre of gravity, which prevents hazardous swinging, mitigates bending, and ensures a perfectly stable and level vertical lift.

Strict UK Safety & Statutory Certification

Safety is our priority at Craneplex. This trapezoidal sheet lifting clamp is rigorously tested to meet industry-leading safety directives, giving operators complete peace of mind:

• UKCA Approved: Fully certified and regulatory-ready for legal trade and safe 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: Will this clamp scratch or dent pre-painted roofing sheets?
A: No. The DE-T is specifically engineered as a non-marking solution. Its jaws are made from a soft, high-friction material that securely grips the TR40/183 profile without scratching the paint or denting the metal.

Q: Do I need to purchase a separate lifting sling to attach this to my crane?
A: No, the DE-T clamp is supplied complete with a highly durable wire rope sling, making it ready for immediate use upon delivery.

Q: How do I safely lift very long trapezoidal sheets?
A: When lifting long or highly flexible sheets, you must use two or more DE-T clamps spaced evenly across the load. This distributes the weight relative to the centre of gravity and prevents the sheet from bending or tipping during the lift.

Q: How does the manual jaw pre-compression work?
A: The operator manually engages the clamp onto the sheet profile before lifting. This applies initial clamping pressure to the material, ensuring the clamp cannot slip out of position before the crane takes the full 200 kg load weight.

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