Bessey KLI3.004 Ratchet Bar Clamp 4 in 260 Lb

Product Description

The BESSEY KLI3.004 is a ratchet-style bar clamp built for trade and industrial applications where controlled, repeatable clamping force is required. It delivers up to 260 pounds of clamping pressure across a 4-inch maximum capacity, with a 3-inch throat depth that allows it to reach past workpiece edges and flanges. The overall length is 10 inches. The ratchet mechanism allows the operator to apply and hold consistent pressure without slippage, making it well suited for glue-ups, assembly work, and holding pipe or structural members during fabrication or installation tasks.

This clamp is used across a wide range of trade and shop settings including plumbing rough-in, HVAC duct and equipment assembly, electrical panel and conduit staging, and general fabrication. The 4-inch opening accommodates standard framing members, pipe bundles, and sheet stock. The compact 10-inch overall length makes it practical in confined spaces where larger bar clamps would be awkward to position or adjust.

Key Features

• Ratchet clamping mechanism holds pressure without manual slippage
• 260 pounds of clamping pressure for secure workpiece hold
• 4-inch maximum jaw capacity handles common trade materials and members
• 3-inch throat depth provides clearance past edges and flanges
• 10-inch overall length suits confined or tight work areas

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose ratchet bar clamp suitable for trade and shop use wherever a 4-inch capacity, 3-inch throat depth clamp is required.

Installation Notes

Bar clamps should be inspected before each use for jaw wear, ratchet mechanism integrity, and frame cracks. Always ensure clamping pressure is applied perpendicular to the workpiece surface to prevent slippage or workpiece damage. Do not exceed the rated 260-pound clamping pressure. Release pressure fully before repositioning the clamp.
