The type IPU10 vertical lifting clamp is used for lifting, turning (180°) and vertical transfer of steel plates and constructions. The hinged hoisting eye allows the user to place and lift the load from virtually any direction. All IPU10 clamps are built with a latch that locks in both the open and closed positions. This allows the operator to easily position the clamp, close the latch and move away from the load before the lift begins. IPU10 clamps with working load limits of 12 tons and up have special hook-up devices built in to assist in the placement of these large-sized clamps.

To avoid overloading your clamp, please refer to figures 1 and 2. Higher working load limits and different jaw apertures are available upon request. The new basic type IPU10 is an innovation based on the familiar ‘IPUZ’ lifting clamps. The new models have a larger jaw opening, which makes it possible to lift plates with very different thicknesses by using one and the same clamp.

Correct use 

Before using the clamp always read the Operator’s Manual supplied with the clamp. Do not UNDERLOAD the lifting clamp. The minimum working load must be at least 10% of the W.L.L.
with the clamp.
