Gibraltar CCM00397-2-ORN C-clamp 6 in Forged Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR CCM00397-2-ORN is a heavy-duty C-clamp built for regular-duty industrial and trade applications where a secure, adjustable grip is required. Constructed from forged steel with a black oxide screw finish, this clamp features a 6-inch maximum opening capacity and a deep throat depth of 3.25 inches, allowing it to reach further into workpieces than standard-throat designs. The copper-plated anvil and spindle resist galling and provide smooth, consistent clamping force up to 6,600 pounds load capacity. It is sized for fabrication shops, construction sites, and mechanical trade work where reliable material holding is essential.

This C-clamp suits a wide range of trade and industrial applications including metal fabrication, structural steel work, woodworking setups, and general mechanical assembly. The deep-throat configuration makes it well suited for clamping operations that require clearance beyond the edge of a workpiece. It is appropriate for use by ironworkers, pipefitters, millwrights, and general tradespeople who need a reliable manual clamping solution for positioning, welding, or fastening tasks.

Key Features

• Forged steel body and clamp material for high strength and durability under load
• 6,600-pound load capacity rated for regular-duty applications
• Deep throat depth of 3.25 inches for extended reach into workpieces
• Copper-plated anvil and spindle reduce friction and prevent galling during tightening
• Black oxide screw finish provides corrosion resistance in shop and field environments
• 0 to 6-inch opening range with a 0.75-inch diameter screw for controlled clamping force

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or direct-use C-clamp for regular-duty clamping applications requiring a 6-inch maximum opening and deep-throat clearance.

Installation Notes

C-clamps of this type are installed and operated by hand using the threaded spindle; no power tools are required for standard use. Before applying clamping force, verify that the workpiece and any protective pads or fixtures are properly aligned to prevent slippage or marring. Do not exceed the rated 6,600-pound load capacity, and inspect the forged body and spindle threads for cracks or damage before each use. Follow applicable shop safety standards and personal protective equipment requirements when using clamps in welding or fabrication environments.
