Vestil Manufacturing LPC-20 Vertical Plate Clamp 2000 Lb

Product Description

The VESTIL MANUFACTURING LPC-20 is a locking vertical plate clamp designed to safely lift plate and sheet material in the vertical position. Built with a forged steel head and gear and hardened steel serrated jaws, this clamp is rated for a 2000-pound lifting capacity. The locking mechanism engages automatically and releases with a simple pull of the ring, reducing the risk of accidental load drop during rigging operations. Licensed riggers and industrial maintenance personnel are the primary installers and operators. The durable powder coat finish in blue resists wear in demanding shop and jobsite environments.

This clamp is intended for use on carbon steel plate and sheet material with a surface hardness not exceeding 30 RC (300 HB). It is not rated for use on stainless steel or aluminum plates. Typical applications include steel fabrication shops, structural steel erection, machine shops, and industrial warehouses where vertical lifting of flat plate stock is a routine task. The unit ships as a single clamp and is ready for immediate use with a compatible overhead lifting device such as a hoist or crane hook.

Key Features

• 2000 lb rated lifting capacity for vertical plate and sheet material
• Locking mechanism with pull-ring release for controlled, safe material handling
• Forged steel head and gear for structural integrity under load
• Hardened steel serrated jaws grip securely and provide long service life
• Durable powder coat finish in blue resists corrosion and wear

Compatibility

Designed for use on carbon steel plate and sheet material with surface hardness up to 30 RC (300 HB). Not compatible with stainless steel or aluminum plate. Attaches to any standard crane hook, hoist, or overhead lifting system rated for the applied load.

Installation Notes

This clamp must be installed and operated by qualified personnel familiar with below-the-hook rigging per ASME B30.20. Before attaching to a load, verify that the jaw opening is correctly set for the material thickness and that the locking mechanism is fully engaged. Never exceed the rated capacity of the clamp or the supporting lifting equipment. Inspect the clamp for wear, jaw damage, or deformation before each use.
