KNS Screw Cam Clamp (500 kg - 6,000 kg WLL)

When it comes to industrial material handling, safety and precision are paramount. The Screw Cam Clamp KNS is a premium lifting solution engineered for the rigorous demands of modern steelwork, fabrication, and manufacturing facilities.

Available directly from Craneplex, this heavy-duty lifting clamp provides a highly versatile Working Load Limit (WLL) ranging from 500 kg to 6,000 kg (0.5 to 6 Tonnes), making it the ultimate tool for the safe vertical lifting, handling, and turning of sheet metal.

Core Operational Advantages & Features

• 180° Turning Capability: Safely and seamlessly lift single metal sheets vertically, and securely turn sheet metal or fabricated structures up to 180 degrees. This ensures smooth, controlled positioning during welding, assembly, or transport.
• Robust Screw Cam Mechanism: Combines a threaded screw lock with a cam action to provide maximum grip and stability. Operators can actively secure the clamp to the material before the crane takes the tension, ensuring a positive bite that won't slip.
• Targeted Material Compatibility: The hardened gripping cam is specifically engineered to safely bite into and secure materials with a surface hardness of up to 25 Rockwell C (HRC).
• Heavy-Duty Lifting Range: Available in multiple configurations to suit your facility's needs, offering a formidable WLL from 500 kg up to a massive 6,000 kg.
• Premium European Build: Proudly Made in the EU, guaranteeing premium industrial metallurgy, rigorous structural testing, and long-lasting mechanical durability under heavy daily use.

Strict UK Safety & Statutory Certification

Lifting heavy loads requires absolute confidence in your equipment. The Screw Cam Clamp KNS is made to the highest engineering standards and strictly adheres to UK and European safety regulations, allowing you to lift with 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.
• Comprehensive Traceability: For full site inspection compliance, each clamp features permanent, highly visible identification markings, including the manufacturer's mark, UKCA stamp, exact WLL, a unique factory serial number, and the year of production.
• Harmonised Industry Standards: Designed, manufactured, and tested in strict alignment with:
• BS EN 13155: Cranes – Safety – Non-fixed load lifting attachments
• BS EN 13001: Comprehensive criteria for crane safety and general structural design
• BS EN 60204-32: Safety requirements concerning the electrical equipment of hoisting machinery

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use the KNS clamp to flip a steel plate over completely?
A: Yes. The robust screw cam mechanism and structural design of the KNS model allow operators to safely lift, handle, and turn sheet metal and fabricated structures through a full 180 degrees.

Q: What is the maximum material hardness this clamp can grip?
A: The gripping cam on the KNS clamp is engineered for optimal friction and safety when used on steel plates with a surface hardness strictly up to 25 Rockwell C (HRC).

Q: How does a "screw cam" differ from a standard vertical plate clamp?
A: A standard plate clamp relies entirely on the upward pull of the crane to engage the cam and bite the steel. A screw cam clamp allows the operator to manually tighten a screw mechanism to lock the cam onto the plate before any lifting force is applied, ensuring the clamp cannot accidentally slip off if the lifting cable goes momentarily slack during a complex 180° turn.

Q: Is this lifting equipment legally compliant for UK fabrication sites and shipyards?
A: Yes. The KNS Screw Cam Clamp is fully UKCA marked, features complete factory traceability stamping, and strictly adheres to the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, alongside the harmonised BS EN 13155 lifting standards.
