What Are Manual Clamp Grippers?

Manual clamp grippers are a type of below-the-hook lifting device. They require no power or air supply and are manually activated.

Grippers are important attachments that facilitate the efficient and safe transportation of various types of loads. Manual clamp grippers offer a safer, faster, and simpler alternative to powered clamps. This makes them a cost-effective solution to manual handling problems.

They can be supplied as part of a full turnkey solution. Manual clamp grippers integrate well with hoists, light crane systems, and industrial manipulators.

Almost all powered grippers can be converted to manual operation, using linkage and latching systems to provide a single, safe point of operation.

For your tricky lifting and handling application and to find out if a manual clamp gripper is the right solution for you, contact us today for a detailed assessment to help you solve your material handling problem.

Why Are Manual Clamp Grippers Used?

Manual clamp grippers increase the versatility of traditional overhead cranes. In low speed cycle, work for gripping and rotating various loads. They are a low-cost approach to achieving the required result.

Traditional rigging slings and hardware do not offer the same security and longevity as manual clamp grippers. The solid design and single operator control provide a safe lifting experience.

This also allows below-the-hook lifting devices to have a variety of safe working loads. They can lift loads that are too heavy for a worker to handle, reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.

This manual clamp gripper can lift loads up to 65kg. This customer was looking for an easy way to lift and move various coil sizes, using the overhead crane they already had.

Manual control was chosen, so that operation remained simple but time efficient. It involves a latching system that is triggered when a lever is pulled. This lever unlocks a pin, allowing the gripper legs to change position. The left leg mirrors the motion of the right leg via a rack and pinion arrangement.

Index plungers allow the legs to be rotated so that inside or outside of a coil can be gripped. This allows the manual clamp gripper to adapt to different sized components.

The manual clamp gripper removed the need for workers to manually lift loads, reducing the risk of workplace injuries. It also provided a low-cost, reliable solution to the manual handling needs of the business.
