Lifting Accessories — Clamps and Lifting Gear: Function, Use Cases and Selection
This guide explains the role of clamps and related lifting accessories in industrial hoisting, and outlines practical selection criteria for procurement and project planning. Content highlights Changsha Jieding Lifting Machinery Co., Ltd.’s steel plate clamps — a self-locking solution designed for steel mills, shipyards and logistics operations.
What are lifting clamps?
Lifting clamps are mechanical accessories used to grip and lift plate-like materials safely by the crane hook. They are a component of broader lifting gear and are specified by their gripping mechanism, jaw treatment, compatibility with hoisting equipment and intended application (e.g., single-sheet handling vs. multi-plate bundles).
Proper selection balances safety (anti-slip, locking), material handling efficiency (multi-clamp operation), and compliance with applicable international standards and on-site requirements.
Product Focus — Steel Plate Clamps (Self-locking)
Changsha Jieding’s steel plate clamps are engineered for industrial hoisting scenarios where reliable automatic locking and durable gripping are essential. The following characteristics are based on the product specification and field usage patterns:
Model / Product
Steel plate clamps (self-locking)

Key features
Self-locking mechanism; heat-treated jaws (HRC58–62) for wear resistance; compact, lightweight structure; supports series/multi-clamp lifting; customizable size and material.
Material / Treatment
Hardened steel jaws; heat-treated to HRC58–62
Standards & Quality
ISO9001 quality management and international standard compliance
Typical applications
Steel mills, shipyards, warehouse/logistics yards, plate fabricating shops, port operations
When to choose steel plate clamps
Handling individual steel sheets where positive locking avoids slippage during vertical lifts.
Operations requiring series-connected clamps to lift wide or multiple-plate loads in a single lift.
Environments that demand high jaw wear resistance (e.g., abrasive or heavy repeated handling).
Projects where customization (size/material) and international compliance are procurement requirements.
Selection checklist for procurement and engineering
Verify functional requirements: single-sheet vs. bundle lifting, lifting angles, and need for multi-clamp synchronization.
Match mechanical compatibility: hook size, crane type (bridge/girder/gantry), and mounting accessories for series use.
Confirm material & wear spec: jaw hardness (HRC58–62) for durability; request material certificates if required by project QA.
Check certifications & documentation: ISO9001 evidence, inspection reports, and recommended maintenance intervals for compliance and handover.
Ask about customization & testing: sizes, lifting point layout, and factory acceptance or third-party inspection options where applicable.
Operation & safety reminders
Always inspect clamps and jaws before use for wear, deformation or damage.
Ensure correct seating on the plate and that the self-locking mechanism fully engages.
Use rated lifting gear and follow the crane manufacturer’s recommendations for tandem lifts and multi-clamp arrangements.
Implement routine maintenance per supplier guidance and keep traceable inspection records for project compliance.
