Product Description

The DE-STA-CO 331-M-50 is a horizontal pull-action latch clamp rated for 719 lb (3200 N) of load capacity. Built from carbon steel with a straight red handle and flanged base, it is designed to secure workpieces or fixtures in industrial, manufacturing, and fabrication applications. The clamp draws the latch closed with 1.75 inches of drawing movement and spans 8.563 inches overall. It ships complete with a latch plate, threaded U-hook, patented thumb control lever, and Toggle Lock Plus mechanism, making it a ready-to-install clamping solution for production jigs, fixtures, and tooling setups.

This clamp is suited for horizontal clamping orientations on production lines, assembly fixtures, welding tables, and similar industrial workholding applications.
