The "GX" clamp is entirely drop forged and heat treated and can be used for both vertical and horizontal-to-vertical lifting. Exclusive feature is a patented wear indicator system.When any of cam's straight line, convex teeth are flattened between unique wear indicator grooves, it is time to change the cam. NOTE: The pad should be replaced the same time as the cam.
(3) The SAC clamp is recommended for turning plates from horizontal to vertical as well as through a 180° arc. The convex, serrated cam of this clamp swivels on a ball joint so that the area of cam engagement increases as the load increases. The SAC clamp has a drop forged body and shackle. Wider grips and higher Working Load Limits (to 200 tons) are available on special order.
(2) The patented clamp offers the same superior gripping features as the SAC Plate Clamp with the added benefit of a swiveling pad. Thus, it can be used for a variety of lifting applications as illustrated. Both gripping surfaces of the swiveling pad are smooth and non- marring. Clamp is lightweight, has a large grip range and is easy to maintain.
