PDB Lifting Clamp

Product Overview

Our steel plate lifting clamps provide practical solutions for lifting and transporting steel plates in manufacturing, construction, warehousing, shipbuilding, and steel-processing applications.

PDB and CDH clamps are intended for vertical plate handling, while LC and HLC forged clamps are suitable for horizontal lifting. Different capacities and jaw openings are available to match a wide range of plate dimensions and working requirements.

Always confirm that the selected clamp capacity and jaw-opening range match the plate being handled. Inspect the clamp and gripping components before every lifting operation.

Steel plate lifting clamps are designed for the safe lifting, turning, positioning, and horizontal transportation of steel plates and structural materials. The product range includes PDB, CDH, LC, and HLC series clamps for different lifting directions, plate thicknesses, and load capacities.

  • PDB and CDH series clamps are suitable for lifting and handling steel plates in vertical applications.
  • LC and HLC series clamps are designed for horizontal steel plate lifting and transportation.
  • Strong alloy-steel construction provides reliable performance and long service life.
  • Hardened gripping jaws provide secure contact with the steel plate surface.
  • Multiple rated capacities and jaw-opening ranges are available for different plate thicknesses.
  • Compact construction allows convenient installation, handling, and storage.
  • Suitable for factories, warehouses, shipyards, steel fabrication plants, and construction sites.
  • Clamps should be selected according to the plate weight, thickness, lifting direction, and operating conditions.

Available Models: PDB, CDH, LC and HLC series.

Description

PDB LIFTING CLAMP

PDB Lifting Clamp for Horizontal Steel Plate Handling

The PDB Lifting Clamp is designed for the
horizontal lifting and transport of steel plates, structural
sections and profiled materials in industrial handling applications.

Its compact clamp body combines a durable steel structure,
serviceable gripping components and a safety mechanism for
practical plate handling in workshops, fabrication facilities
and construction environments.

The current KKV specification range covers
1T to 30T, with jaw-opening options selected
according to plate thickness and rated capacity.

DETAIL PRESENTATION

Key PDB Lifting Clamp Construction Details

The PDB combines a compact steel body, lifting connection,
gripping mechanism and safety components in one plate-handling
clamp assembly.

PDB Lifting Clamp Overall Structure

Compact Clamp Structure

The compact clamp body is designed for practical
horizontal lifting and transfer of steel plates
and structural materials.

PDB Lifting Clamp Safety and Gripping Structure

Safety & Gripping Structure

The gripping and safety components work together
to support correct plate engagement during
horizontal handling.

PDB Lifting Clamp Steel Body and Jaw Detail

Steel Body & Jaw Detail

The steel body, jaw and lifting connection form
the main load path between the rigging system
and the gripped plate.

PLATE HANDLING

Designed for Horizontal Lifting and Transfer

Select the clamp according to the load weight and actual
plate thickness, then position the gripping area correctly
before applying lifting force.

Confirm Rated Capacity

Never exceed the rated capacity listed for
the selected clamp size.
Check Plate Thickness

Confirm that the plate fits within the applicable
jaw-opening range.
Avoid Shock Loading

Apply load smoothly and avoid snatch or impact
loading during operation.
Check Clamp Engagement

Verify that the clamp is correctly positioned
before the load is raised.

APPLICATIONS

PDB Lifting Clamp Applications

Steel Fabrication

Horizontal handling of plates and fabricated
steel components.

Construction

Plate and profiled-material handling during
structural work.

Workshop Handling

Positioning and transferring steel materials
in production areas.

Material Storage

Controlled movement of suitable steel plates
during loading and storage.

SELECTION GUIDE

How to Select a PDB Lifting Clamp

01

Determine Load Weight

Select a rated capacity suitable for the
maximum intended load.

02

Measure Plate Thickness

Match the plate thickness to the listed
jaw-opening range.

03

Confirm Lifting Direction

Use the PDB only for an arrangement suitable
for its horizontal plate-clamp design.

04

Check Rigging Connection

Confirm that the lifting eye and connected
rigging are suitable for the complete system.

05

Review Plate Surface

Inspect the contact area and confirm the clamp
can engage the plate correctly.

INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE

Inspect the PDB Clamp Before Every Lift

Inspect the clamp body and lifting eye for deformation,
cracks or visible damage.
Check the gripping surface and serviceable wear parts
for abnormal wear.
Verify that the safety mechanism moves freely
and functions correctly.
Confirm that fasteners, pins and moving components
are secure.
Keep gripping surfaces free from contamination
that could reduce effective contact.
Remove the clamp from service if damage or abnormal
wear is found.
