Bessey LC12 Lever Welding Clamp 12 Inch 1200 Lb

Product Description

The BESSEY LC12 is a rapid-action lever-style bar clamp built for welding, fabrication, and heavy-duty assembly work. It delivers 1200 pounds of clamping force through a secure ratchet mechanism and a patented rail profile that maximizes force transmission along a straight line. The steel bar measures 1-3/32 x 7/16 inches at the nominal rail, and the clamp face measures 1-1/4 x 2-1/2 inches with a pivoting swivel pad for consistent contact on irregular surfaces. A powder-coated finish resists corrosion in shop environments. Licensed welders, metal fabricators, and ironworkers are the primary installers and users of this clamp.

The LC12 suits residential and commercial fabrication shops, welding tables, and structural assembly setups where reliable, repeatable clamping is required. The 12-inch clamping capacity and 5-1/2-inch throat depth accommodate a wide range of workpiece thicknesses and profiles. The ergonomic 6-inch steel handle reduces hand fatigue during extended use, and the trigger-guard design limits accidental finger pinching during one-handed operation. This clamp is suited to applications where repeated opening and closing speed is a priority.

Installation Notes

This clamp is used by welders, fabricators, and metalworkers in shop and field environments. Inspect the ratchet mechanism and swivel pad for wear before each use. Do not exceed the rated 1200 lb clamping force, as overloading can damage the rail or sliding arm. Keep the rail clean and free of weld spatter to maintain smooth operation.
