Vestil Manufacturing LPC-60 Vertical Plate Clamp 6000 Lb

Product Description

The VESTIL MANUFACTURING LPC-60 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 delivers durability and long service life in demanding industrial and construction environments. It handles materials with a surface hardness up to 30 RC (300 HB) and carries a rated capacity of 6000 pounds. A durable powder coat finish in blue protects against wear and corrosion. This clamp is installed and operated by riggers, millwrights, and industrial maintenance professionals working with overhead lifting equipment.

The LPC-60 is suited for industrial lifting applications where steel plate and sheet stock must be moved in the vertical orientation. Typical install scenarios include steel fabrication shops, structural steel erection, and heavy manufacturing facilities. The locking mechanism allows the operator to secure the load and release material with a simple pull of the ring, reducing handling risk during vertical lifts. This clamp is not designed for use on stainless steel or aluminum plates.

Compatibility

Designed for use with steel plate and sheet materials having a surface hardness up to 30 RC (300 HB). Not compatible with stainless steel or aluminum plates. Intended for use as a below-the-hook lifting attachment with compatible overhead hoists, cranes, and lifting equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified riggers or personnel trained in below-the-hook lifting per ASME B30.20. Inspect the clamp jaws, locking mechanism, and load ring before each use and remove from service if wear or damage is found. Always de-energize and clear the lifting path before attaching or releasing a load. Do not exceed the rated capacity of 6000 pounds.
