Overview
Able PLC05 Plate Lifting Clamp, 500 kg WLL
The Able PLC05 is a universal vertical plate lifting clamp engineered for the safe lifting and 180° turning of steel plates, ship sections, and pile sheets. Manufactured from fully forged alloy steel parts (jaw and floor material: 20 CrMnTi), it delivers a compact overall footprint with a relatively high working load limit of 0.5 tonnes, tested to 1.0 tonne, and meets standard BS EN13155.
The hinged hoisting eye rotates freely in all directions, allowing the operator to approach and lift the load from any angle. Special hook-up facilities enable easy fitment in the horizontal position, while the expanded jaw aperture (0-15 mm) accommodates plates of varying thickness without needing to change clamps.
- Universal vertical PLC design, lifts and turns loads through 180° while positively retaining the load at all times
- Double-locking safety latch secures the clamp in both the open and closed positions and guarantees a pre-load on the material being lifted
- Suitable for surface hardnesses up to 37 Rc (345 HB)
- Overall forged structure with full traceability and a safety factor of 6 × WLL
- Compact dimensions: A 30 mm, B 43 mm, C 34.5 mm, D 0-15 mm (jaw opening), E 103 mm, F 10 mm, G 212 mm, H 36 mm
Supplied in high-visibility yellow and black finish. Net weight: 1.8 kg.
