Non-Scratching Horizontal Pipe Lifting Clamp 1500-4000kg (LKS)

Ensure the utmost safety, precision, and material protection on your site with the LKS Horizontal Pipe Lifting Clamp. Specifically engineered for the secure lifting and handling of round pipes, structural tubes, and solid cylindrical bars in a strictly horizontal position, this heavy-duty clamp is a vital addition to any professional rigging setup.

Manufactured to the absolute highest European standards, this robust lifting accessory is designed to integrate seamlessly into your daily lifting operations. Providing reliable, heavy-duty performance for loads with a Working Load Limit (WLL) ranging from 1,500 kg right up to 4,000 kg, it is an indispensable tool for demanding construction, large-scale manufacturing, and complex logistics environments.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: To ensure structural stability, absolute load balance, and legal compliance, these lifting clamps are designed and certified exclusively for use strictly in pairs, in conjunction with appropriate two-leg chain slings.

Damage-Free Lifting Solution

When handling highly sensitive, fully polished, or specially coated materials, surface protection is paramount. Standard steel clamps can easily gouge or scratch expensive pipes.

To completely eliminate this risk, the LKS clamp features intelligently designed, non-scratching linings made of a specially formulated, soft yet highly durable material. This ensures that your valuable pipes and structural bars remain completely unblemished and factory-fresh during overhead transit and final placement.
