Gibraltar CCM00397-2 C-clamp 6600 Lb 6 in Forged Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR CCM00397-2 is a regular-duty standard C-clamp built for industrial and trade applications where reliable clamping force is required. Forged steel construction gives this clamp the structural integrity to handle loads up to 6,600 pounds. The maximum jaw opening measures 6 inches, with a minimum opening of 0 inches, making it suitable for clamping thin stock as well as thicker workpieces. The deep throat design provides 4-1/8 inches of throat depth, allowing access to material set back from the workpiece edge. A copper-plated screw reduces galling and ensures smooth operation under load. Machinists, ironworkers, fabricators, and pipefitters commonly use this type of clamp for fixturing, welding, and assembly tasks.

This clamp is suited for regular-duty shop and field use across metalworking, fabrication, and general trade applications. The deep throat configuration makes it practical for welding fixtures, structural steel alignment, and clamping operations where standard shallow-throat clamps cannot reach. It is appropriate for both bench and on-site use. The forged steel body holds up to repeated use in demanding environments. This clamp ships as a single unit and is intended for professional tradespeople who need a dependable, full-opening C-clamp with extended throat reach.

Key Features

• 6,600 pound clamping capacity for regular-duty industrial and trade use
• 6 inch maximum jaw opening accommodates a wide range of workpiece thicknesses
• 4-1/8 inch deep throat depth allows clamping well back from the workpiece edge
• Forged steel body provides high strength and resistance to deformation under load
• Copper-plated screw reduces friction and prevents galling during tightening
• Minimum opening of 0 inches allows clamping of thin-section stock

Compatibility

Designed as a standard C-clamp for general-purpose use in metalworking, fabrication, welding, and structural assembly applications where a regular-duty forged steel clamp with deep throat reach is required.

Installation Notes

Inspect the clamp body and screw threads for damage before each use. Apply even torque to the screw handle and avoid using extension pipes on the handle, as overloading can exceed rated capacity. Keep clamping surfaces clean and free of debris to ensure full contact with the workpiece. Do not use this clamp to suspend loads overhead unless it is rated and rigged for that purpose in accordance with applicable safety standards.
