Designed to lift and turn loads through 180°, it is particularly suited to the handling of thick steel plates, ship sections and pile sheets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe clamp's hinged hoisting eye rotates freely in all directions, allowing the operator to approach and lift from any angle. Special hook-up facilities make horizontal fitment straightforward, while an enlarged jaw aperture accommodates plates of varying thickness within a single clamp, reducing the need for multiple tools on site.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSafety is built in at every level: a double-locking safety latch retains the load positively in both the open and closed jaw positions, and a pre-load is automatically applied to the material being lifted. The fully forged structure offers complete traceability and is rated to a safety factor of 6 × WLL.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking Load Limit (WLL): 8.0 tonnes (8,000 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest Load: 16.0 tonnes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJaw opening (dimension D): 40–80 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for surface hardnesses up to 37 Rc (345 HB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJaw and floor material: 20 CrMnTi forged steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets standard BS EN 13155\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet weight: 32.0 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Yellow powder coat body, black hoisting eye and latch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eModel: PLC80 | Manufacturer: Ableforge Manufacturing Inc (ABLE)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ABLE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57559982801227,"sku":"PLC80","price":433.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1056\/9351\/2011\/files\/plc80.jpg?v=1781215045","url":"https:\/\/www.theratchetshop.com\/products\/8000kg-plate-lifting-clamp","provider":"TheRatchetShop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
