Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use the DE-J clamp to lift thinner steel sheets?
A: No. The DE-J model is uniquely engineered for extremely thick plates and structures. Its gripping range begins at 100 mm and opens to 250 mm. It cannot safely grip any material thinner than 100 mm.

Q: Do I need to use these clamps in pairs?
A: Yes. For horizontal stability and safety, plate clamps must be used in pairs. The 5,000 kg capacity is specifically rated for the clamps working together as a pair.

Q: Can I use this clamp to turn a plate into a vertical position?
A: No. The DE-J model is explicitly designed and load-rated exclusively for the horizontal lifting and transport of flat materials and solid structures.

Q: What is the maximum material hardness this clamp can handle?
A: The gripping teeth on the DE-J clamp are engineered to safely bite into standard steel and metal surfaces with a material hardness strictly below 37 HRC.

Q: Is this lifting clamp legally compliant for UK construction sites?
A: Yes. The DE-J 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.
