Overview
ABLE SV Plus Vertical Lifting Clamp, 3,000 kg WLL (Model VLC3)
The ABLE VLC3 is a professional-grade vertical lifting clamp engineered for the vertical lifting, turning over and transfer of flat plates, sheet materials and shaped steels. Built from fully forged and heat-treated alloy steel (jaw and floor material: 20 CrMnTi), this clamp delivers outstanding strength, reliability and a long working life in demanding industrial environments.
A key safety feature is the integrated safety latch mechanism: the lock cannot disengage even if the lifting rope is slackened, protecting loads against ground-touching shocks. Each clamp carries an individual serial number and a permanent PI code for full traceability, and the product meets standard BS EN13155.
