Round Steel Lifting Clamp RLC type

No.1611

The Round Steel Lifting Clamp (RLC Type) is a specialized handling tool designed for the safe horizontal lifting and transporting of cylindrical objects. It provides a secure and balanced grip for heavy round profiles.

  • Horizontal Transport: Engineered specifically for the safe horizontal lifting and moving of round loads.
  • Versatile Usage: Ideal for handling solid round steel, tubes, pipes, tube bundles, and rolls.
  • Secure Grip: The jaw design firmly clamps cylindrical objects to prevent slipping during operation.
  • Durable Build: Manufactured from high-strength steel to ensure maximum reliability and safety.
  • Technical Data

  • Safe Use of Lifting Clamp

H-Lift Round Steel Lifting Clamp
*Auto-Lock Mechanism: Clamp locks open for easy positioning and grips automatically upon lifting.

Product Features

  • Designed for Round Stock: Specifically engineered for the horizontal lifting and transporting of tubes, pipes, tube bundles, rolls, and solid round bars.
  • Automatic Locking System: The clamp is locked in the open position for easy placement. To lift, the operator activates the handle; the clamp automatically locks open again when the load is set down.
  • User-Friendly Design: Lightweight and easy to handle, reducing operator fatigue during repetitive tasks.
  • Robust Construction: Features a tough quality body built to withstand industrial environments.
  • Versatile Capacity: Available in capacities from 0.5 Ton up to 5 Ton to suit various pipe sizes and weights.

Selecting the Correct Lifting Clamp

Lifting clamps utilize various mechanisms (lever, cam, roller, or screw) to provide a friction grip on the plate. When selecting a clamp, consider:

  • Type of Action: Lever, cam, roller, or screw.
  • Capacity & Thickness: Ensure the clamp is rated for the weight and the plate thickness.
  • Rigging: Determine if a pendant chain sling is required to provide articulation.

IMPORTANT: Minimum Load Requirement
Some clamps (especially cam action types) rely on a minimum load to engage the gripping force safely. Unless specified otherwise by the manufacturer:
• The load should not be less than 20% of the Safe Working Load (SWL).
• The plate thickness should not be less than 20% of the maximum jaw opening.

Safety Guidelines

Always

  • Inspect clamps and accessories before use and before storage.
  • Ensure the clamp is seated fully onto the plate (as far as it will go).
  • Position the clamp directly over the center of gravity of the load.
  • Ensure the locking mechanism is fully engaged/tightened before lifting.
  • Ensure the plate is fully supported and stable before releasing the clamp.
  • Store clamps in a dry, clean place protected from corrosion.

Never

  • Never use clamps on hard or polished plates unless specifically designed for them.
  • Never put packing/shims between the plate and the jaws.
  • Never lift more than one plate at a time in a single clamp.
  • Never lower from vertical to horizontal (or vice-versa) unless the clamp is designed for it.
  • Never obliquely side load a vertical clamp.
  • Never force or wedge the hoist hook into the eye of the clamp.

Operation & Maintenance

Using Clamps Safely

Do not use defective clamps. Place the clamp over the load center. If the plate is long and tends to bend, use two clamps with a spreader beam to prevent the clamps from twisting. Keep oil, grease, and contaminants away from the gripping jaws.

In-service Inspection

Regularly inspect for:

  • Wear, damage, or distortion to fixed and moving jaws.
  • Cracks in the frame or opening out of the body.
  • Insecure, worn, or bent pins and bolts.
  • Worn friction grip material (teeth).
  • Damaged locking levers or tight threads.
⚠️ WARNING: Teeth of jaws must NOT be re-sharpened or re-cut unless specifically approved by the manufacturer.
