Tractel TOPAL NK Multi-position Self-locking Plate Clamps - Range from 1500kg to 7500kg

Lifting and revolving of plates, profiles, fabricated assemblies, steel frames.

Clamps fitted with a safety spring mechanism for a permanent contact of the cam onto the piece to be lifted, even when it is being put down. This model also offers an automatic grasping mechanism, ensuring the clamp’s locking when the plate is correctly positioned ie. at the back of the clamp’s throat. The locking lever does not stick out so that the clamp may be used on the bare ground. The chain enables the revolving and makes the clamp’s positioning easier. The corrugated cam only marks one side of the load.

Functioning

So as to open the clamp’s cam, push the locking lever downwards, until the trigger activates; the lever remains in a down position. When the load is driven home at the back of the clamp’s throat, the trigger activates and the clamp locks itself automatically.

The corrugated cam penetrates into the load’s material. Lifting ensures proportional clamping, thus avoiding marking the load excessively. To release the clamp, push down the locking lever completely, until it locks in the open position. The clamp may also be used without the  automatism being activated. To do so, use the manual opening and closing thanks to the lever without bringing it to its limit stop (trigger not activated). Loads may be grasped horizontally or vertically and revolved in inverse position (90 or 180°).
