3000kg Horizontal Lifting Clamp

Able HLC3 Horizontal Lifting Clamp, 3 Tonne WLL

The Able HLC3 is a professional-grade horizontal lifting clamp built for the safe horizontal lifting, transfer, and positioning of steel plates and sheet material. Engineered from fully forged and heat-treated alloy steel, this clamp delivers outstanding strength and durability without sacrificing portability, weighing just 8.4 kg despite its 3-tonne working load limit (per pair).

The specially designed thin ground plate and buffer cams allow easy insertion and removal beneath the plate being lifted, making the HLC3 particularly well-suited to plate-lifting operations in tight conditions. A built-in pretension mechanism keeps the clamp securely on the plate even when unloaded, improving safety and handling efficiency on site.

The HLC3 can also be used hanging vertically beneath a spreader beam, for turning beams from the H to I position, and for handling steel beams and sagging plates across a wide range of industrial applications.
