Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use this clamp to lift steel plates thinner than 40 mm?
A: No. The JP-T is specifically engineered with a gripping range of 40 mm to 80 mm. Using it on materials thinner than 40 mm will result in a failure to securely grip the load, posing a severe safety hazard.

Q: How does the threaded screw mechanism improve safety?
A: Standard plate clamps often rely on the weight of the load to engage the gripping teeth. The JP-T's manual screw mechanism allows the operator to actively lock the clamp onto the steel before the lift begins, ensuring a steadfast bite that won't release if the load bumps into an obstacle or the lifting cable goes momentarily slack.

Q: Can the JP-T be used for pulling applications?
A: Yes. Because of its secure, manually tightened grip, the JP-T is highly versatile and is rated for the safe lifting, pulling, and horizontal positioning of heavy steel elements.

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