Horizontal Lifting Clamp

A horizontal lifting clamp is a specialized lifting device designed for lifting and transporting loads in a horizontal orientation. These clamps are commonly used in material handling, manufacturing, and construction applications where the need is to lift objects such as steel plates, sheets, or other materials in a horizontal position.

Vertical Lifting Clamp

A vertical lifting clamp is a specific type of lifting clamp designed for lifting loads in a vertical orientation. These clamps are commonly used in material handling and construction applications where the need is to lift and move materials in a straight, upward direction. Vertical lifting clamps are particularly useful for lifting steel plates, sheets, or similar materials.

Universal Lifting Clamp

A universal lifting clamp is a device designed to securely grip and lift various types of loads, such as steel plates, pipes, or other materials. These clamps are commonly used in industrial settings, construction sites, and material handling applications to facilitate the safe and efficient movement of heavy objects.

Permanent Magnetic Lifter

A permanent magnetic lifter is a specialized lifting device designed to move and transport ferrous (iron-containing) materials in a safe and efficient manner. Unlike traditional lifting equipment that relies on hooks, slings, or other mechanical means, permanent magnetic lifters use powerful permanent magnets to secure and lift heavy loads. They are commonly used in various industries, including manufacturing, construction, and metalworking.

Creeper Winch AS 1418.2-1997

A creeper winch, also known as a Griphoist, wire rope pulling hoist is a manual hand-operated winching device used for lifting, pulling, and positioning heavy loads. It is a versatile and portable tool widely used in various industries, including construction, forestry, mining, and rescue operations. The winch operates on a mechanical advantage principle, allowing users to multiply their input force to move or lift loads that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to manage manually.

Light Load Test of Hand Chain Blocks EN 13157

Light Load Test Hand chain blocks shall be subjected to a type test with a test load of between 2% and 10% of the rated capacity which shall be raised and lowered through a height of between 250 mm and 500 mm. When the hand chain is released at any point during raising and lowering cycle, the brake shall hold the load.

Endurance Test of Hand Chain Blocks EN 13157

With 110% of the rated capacity on the lower hook, operate the hand chain block for 1 500 cycles, over 300 mm lifting and lowering the load. The path of 300 mm ensures that all the component parts (e.g. gears, load wheel etc.) operate underload. At no time during the test shall the test load be set on to the floor. An automatic counting system shall be used to count the number of lifting and lowering cycles.

Jaw Winches EN 13157

Jaw winch is a device for lifting, lowering and holding a load by means of a rope, where the rope is gripped or moved by jaws using human effort on a lever or levers.
