Universal Screw Cam Clamp SCC type

No.1608

The Universal Screw Cam Clamp is a highly versatile lifting device designed to securely grip a wide variety of steel shapes for lifting, hanging, turning, and pulling operations.

  • Multi-Purpose Lifting: Ideal for safely lifting, suspending, lateral pulling, and turning over steel plates and structures.
  • Versatile Gripping: Securely holds various steel profiles, including flat plates, structural beams, curved, and spherical sections.
  • Secure Mechanism: Combines a screw tightening mechanism with a specialized cam system for a reliable, adjustable clamping force.
  • Wide Application: Widely utilized across civil engineering, construction, manufacturing, shipbuilding, and steelworking industries.
  • Technical Data

  • Safe Use of Lifting Clamp

H-Lift Screw Cam Clamp SCC Type
*Multi-Directional Eye: Allows lifting, pulling, and turning from any angle.

Product Features

  • Truly Universal Application: Designed for versatile operations including lifting, lateral pulling, turning over, and suspending steel plates and structures in any direction.
  • No Minimum Load Required: Unlike standard cam clamps, the SCC screw mechanism provides a positive grip that does not require a minimum load to maintain safety, making it ideal for light loads or vibration-prone environments.
  • Multi-Directional Lifting Eye: Features a fully articulated universal shackle that allows the clamp to be loaded from any angle without compromising grip.
  • Powerful Screw Locking: The threaded spindle with a moveable cam generates a high clamping force, ensuring the clamp stays securely locked even when lifting force is released.
  • Wide Capacity Range: Available in capacities from 0.5 Ton up to 6 Ton, with jaw openings accommodating plates up to 75mm thick.
  • Temporary Lifting Point: Can be attached upside down or to the side of beams to serve as a reliable temporary anchor point for rigging.
  • Durable & Replaceable: Constructed with a tough drop-forged body and maintenance-friendly parts (cam and screw).

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.
