Selecting the right lifting clamp is essential for safe operations. Consider the following factors:
Material Type and Shape: Is it steel plate, coil, or profile? Understand the physical characteristics of the object being lifted.
Lifting Method: Vertical, horizontal, or tilting? Different lifting methods require different lifting clamps.
Load Capacity: Select a lifting clamp with a rated lifting capacity greater than or equal to the actual load. Overloading is strictly prohibited.
Jaw Opening: Ensure the maximum and minimum opening sizes of the lifting clamp are appropriate for the thickness or diameter of the material.
Operating Environment: Consider specific environmental factors such as temperature and corrosiveness, and select a lifting clamp with the appropriate material (e.g., alloy steel, stainless steel) and construction.
