The Machining & Welding Plate Clamp 1-1.5 IN Hinged clamps onto plate stock in the 1 to 1.5 inch range, rated to 1,100 pounds.

Plate clamps like this are a standard tool in fabrication shops and steel yards for moving sheet and plate stock quickly between cutting, welding, and storage.

The clamp body is forged steel with a serrated or hardened jaw, engineered to grip within its rated thickness range without slipping.

A clamp rated to the correct thickness range grips more securely than one sized for a different plate gauge.

This type of lifting equipment is common in facilities that move machinery, structural steel, crates, or bulky components as part of daily operations. Rather than treating each lift as a one-off problem, a dedicated piece of equipment turns it into a routine, repeatable task that any trained operator can complete quickly and safely.

Rated capacity should always be treated as a hard limit, not a target, and a quick visual inspection before each lift is one of the simplest ways to keep a lifting operation safe. Make sure your operators are trained on the specific rigging setup this equipment requires, and confirm that anyone signing off on a lift understands how to read the working load limit and match it against the actual load being moved.

Properly rated hardware, stored and maintained correctly, tends to outlast the equipment it gets paired with. Building a simple habit of checking condition before each use costs very little time and pays off in fewer surprises when a piece of rigging hardware is actually under load.

Full specifications are listed below so you can confirm fit against your current rigging before it ships.
