Beaver CQ Horizontal Plate Clamps, Pair, 1.5 t WLL, 0-50 mm Jaw (250150A)

Beaver CQ horizontal plate clamps are heavy duty, all steel clamps with a baked enamel finish, sold in pairs for lifting non-flexing steel plates in a flat plane (manufacturer-stated). The working load limit (WLL) is given per pair. This listing carries three codes: 1.5 t (250150A), 3 t (250300A) and 5 t (250500A).

Beaver states the clamps comply with AS 4991 (manufacturer-stated). Beaver states the clamp is to be used only on steel with a hardness of 37 HRC (345 Brinell) (manufacturer-stated). Beaver says the clamps are proof load tested at manufacture (manufacturer-stated). Beaver lists the plate thickness range as 0-60 mm in its feature list and 0-50 mm, 0-50 mm and 0-60 mm as the jaw opening for the three codes, so use the jaw opening for your code. Beaver publishes no limits for plate size, angle or number of pairs. Lifting equipment must be used within its marked working load limit (WLL), inspected before each use, and selected and used in line with your site lifting procedure and the relevant Australian Standards. If you are unsure what suits your lift, contact AIMS or a qualified rigger before ordering.

Steel hardness

Beaver states the clamp is to be used only on steel with a hardness of 37 HRC (345 Brinell) (manufacturer-stated).

Key specifications

Figures are from Beaver's data sheet, Materials Handling Technical Manual (Vol. 4) and website, which agree. Beaver does not define dimensions B to E on its web page. Beaver's range also lists a horizontal drum lifting clamp (261500), which AIMS does not carry.

Selecting the right option

Choose the code by the plate thickness it has to grip and the weight of the plate, remembering the WLL is per pair and the plate must be non-flexing. If you are unsure whether a pair suits your lift, ask AIMS or a qualified rigger before ordering.
