Built to handle plate from 1 to 2 inches, the Machining & Welding Plate Clamp 1-2 IN Hinged carries a 4,400 pound working load limit.

The clamp jaw grips the edge of a steel plate, letting a crane or hoist lift and position it vertically without drilling holes or welding lift points.

A durable forged body and a jaw matched to its rated thickness range keep this clamp dependable through daily plate handling.

Plate clamps avoid the need to drill or weld temporary lift points onto stock that will be cut or machined later.

Equipment like this shows up across a wide range of industries, from steel fabrication and machine shops to warehousing, construction, and vehicle service centers. Anywhere crews need to move a load overhead in a controlled, repeatable way, a purpose-built lift beam or crane keeps the job safer and faster than improvised rigging. Once a facility standardizes on the right lifting equipment for its typical loads, operators spend less time rigging and more time actually getting work done.

As with any lifting equipment, never exceed the rated working load limit, and inspect slings, hooks, shackles, and connection points before every use. Confirm compatibility with your hoist, crane, or trolley system before placing an order, and follow your facility's rigging and lockout procedures for every lift. A few minutes spent checking hardware condition and load balance up front is far cheaper than dealing with a dropped or shifted load later, and it keeps your team's daily routine consistent from one job to the next.

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.
