Gibraltar SSE50 Sliding Arm Bar Clamp 4800 Lb 7 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSE50 is a heavy-duty sliding arm bar clamp designed for industrial and trade applications where consistent, high-force clamping is required. Part of the SSE series, it delivers 4,800 lb of clamping pressure through an alloy steel spindle driven by a T-handle, making it well-suited for metalworking, fabrication, and structural assembly work. The frame and pad are both forged steel, finished in nickel for corrosion resistance. The 7-inch throat depth accommodates a wide range of workpiece sizes, and the 40 mm x 20 mm rail provides a stable, rigid sliding action under load.

This clamp is used in metal fabrication shops, welding operations, millwright work, and industrial maintenance settings. It is appropriate for applications that demand repeatable clamping force on steel, iron, and other hard materials. The sliding arm design allows fast jaw positioning before final tightening, reducing setup time on repetitive jobs. It is suited for both bench use and in-position structural work.

Key Features

• 4,800 lb clamping pressure for high-force industrial applications
• 7-inch throat depth for deep-reach clamping on large workpieces
• Forged steel frame and pad for maximum durability under load
• Alloy steel spindle resists deformation during high-torque tightening
• T-handle provides positive grip and controlled force application
• Nickel finish for corrosion resistance in shop environments
• 40 mm x 20 mm rail delivers rigid, stable sliding arm travel

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use clamp within the GIBRALTAR SSE series for heavy-duty industrial clamping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation of high-force bar clamps should be performed by qualified fabricators or tradespeople familiar with proper clamping technique. Inspect the spindle, frame, and rail for cracks or deformation before each use. Never exceed the rated clamping pressure, and ensure the workpiece is fully seated against the pad before applying force. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when working with clamped assemblies under load.
