Able HLC1 1-Tonne Horizontal Lifting Clamp (WLL 1T/Pair) – BS EN13155

Able HLC1 Horizontal Lifting Clamp, 1 Tonne WLL (Per Pair)

The Able HLC1 is a professional-grade horizontal lifting clamp engineered for the safe horizontal lifting and transfer of steel plates in construction, shipbuilding, and metal fabrication environments. Its specially thin ground plate and buffer cams allow easy insertion and removal beneath the plate being lifted, while the built-in pretension keeps the clamp securely attached even when unloaded.

This clamp can also be used hanging vertically under a spreader, making it highly versatile across a range of rigging configurations. It is equally suitable for turning steel beams from the H to the I position. All load-bearing parts are fully forged and heat treated, delivering the high strength and durability demanded in heavy industrial applications.
