Challenger CCL124 Horizontal Plate Clamps, Pair, 9 tonne

Challenger Horizontal Plate Clamps are steel clamps that grip the edge or surface of a metal plate or sheet for horizontal lifting, sold as a pair (manufacturer-stated). The catalogue lists capacities from 1.5 tonne to 9 tonne per pair, with jaws that accommodate material up to 100mm thick on the largest size (manufacturer-stated). This page lists 3 of the 4 catalogue sizes.

The rated capacity in the catalogue is for the pair, not for a single clamp. The net weight is given per unit, so a pair weighs twice the figure shown. The catalogue gives the jaw range as 0 to 50mm on the 1.5 and 3 tonne pairs, 0 to 60mm on the 5 tonne pair and 0 to 100mm on the 9 tonne pair. It lists steel construction with no aluminium (manufacturer-stated).

The 5 tonne pair (CCL123) is in the catalogue and is not part of this listing. The catalogue lists this product against Australian Standard AS4991 (manufacturer-stated). No certificate or test report is shown on this page: if your site needs proof of compliance, ask for the maker's documents before you buy.

Common specifications

Key specifications

Figures are as printed in the Pacific Hoists catalogue (manufacturer-stated). Jaw range is in millimetres. Rated capacity is per pair and net weight is per clamp.

Selecting the right option

Check the plate thickness against the jaw range for the size. The rating is for the pair, so keep the total load inside the per-pair capacity and check the lift is set up so both clamps carry the load. Lifting equipment must be used within its rated capacity, inspected before each use, and selected and used in line with your site lifting procedure and the applicable standards and regulations. Do not use it to lift or lower people. If you are unsure what suits your lift, speak to a qualified rigger before ordering.
