Lifting Clamps

A lifting clamp’s gripping mechanism attaches to the load, and then a hoist or crane is used to raise and move it. The clamp’s jaws or claws are pressed against the load by its weight.
Types
There are many types of lifting clamps, including vertical, horizontal, beam, plate, and drum clamps. Each type is suited for specific lifting tasks and load types.
Connection
Lifting clamps can have either a mechanical or magnetic connection. Mechanical clamps have serrated jaws that cam in when a load is applied. Magnetic clamps can quickly attach to and detach from steel objects without leaving marks.
Safety features
Some lifting clamps have safety features like LED status indicators, fail-safe designs, and automatic release.
Uses
In wind and solar energy projects, plate clamps are used to transport and install heavy components like wind turbine blades and solar panels.
