The Machining & Welding Plate Clamp 1.5-3 IN Straight clamps onto plate stock in the 1.5 to 3 inch range, rated to 11,000 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.

Fast, tool-free attachment makes plate clamps a practical choice for shops moving plate stock throughout the day.

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.

Well-built rigging hardware holds its rated capacity through years of regular use, provided it is inspected and stored properly between jobs. A dry, organized storage area away from corrosive chemicals or extreme temperature swings goes a long way toward extending the service life of steel components.

Details on capacity, dimensions, and hardware are listed below for a quick comparison against your requirements.
