The 92 series of plate clamps can be used on all hot rolled structural steel plates and sections up to a surface hardness of 300 Brinell (32HRc). They can be used to lift plate from the horizontal to vertical position and vice versa through 180º. This series is fitted with a hold open and lock closed device. To initiate the self actuating force, a spring is incorporated into the clamp to give an initial bite on the material. If the plate should start to slip during lifting, the cam shape of the jaw turns with the material and increases the gripping force. The cam handle has been ergonomically designed with a flat surface to allow ease of operation while wearing protective gloves. The cam handle connects to the cam via a robust square drive. Unlike other clamps, Camlok plate clamps are designed with a sloping slot, which increases the grip on the load when the clamp is in the horizontal position.
