HOME >> PRODUCTS >> LIFTING CLAMP
A heavy-duty horizontal lifting clamp that securely grips flat steel plates for horizontal lifting and transport — built for steel warehouses, metal fabrication workshops and construction sites that need efficient plate handling, not just fixed vertical hoisting.
The DHK/DHKS horizontal lifting clamp pairs a compact, lightweight structure with high lifting performance, purpose-built for the horizontal lifting and transporting of steel plates. Its compact form factor and relatively low self-weight allow for convenient on-site operation and handling, while delivering reliable, heavy-duty lifting capacity.
Available in working load limits (WLL) from 0.5 t to 10.0 t per pair, with jaw opening options of 0–35 mm, 0–60 mm and 0–100 mm, these clamps are engineered for steel warehouses, metal fabrication workshops, construction sites and processing lines where flat steel plates require stable horizontal lifting and transfer.
DHK/DHKS lifting clamps must always be used in pairs (or multiples thereof) to ensure safe lifting operations. The DHKS series is fitted with standard jaw openings, while the DHK series features an enlarged jaw opening to accommodate thicker steel plates — refer to the specification table below to confirm which model matches your application requirements.
Purpose-built for horizontal lifting and transporting of steel plates, ideal for steel warehouses, fabrication workshops and construction sites.
Compact structure and low self-weight for easy on-site handling, with a Working Load Limit (WLL) from 0.5 t to 10.0 t per pair for reliable heavy-duty lifting.
Must be used in pairs (or multiples thereof). Symmetrical clamping ensures even load distribution and stable lifting for maximum operational safety.
Available in DHKS standard series (0–35 mm / 0–60 mm jaw opening) and DHK enlarged-opening series (0–100 mm), fitting steel plates of various thicknesses.
Not every steel plate lifting job requires heavy-duty vertical clamps or custom spreader solutions. Where flat steel plates need to be lifted and transported horizontally in steel yards, metal fabrication workshops or construction sites, DHK/DHKS clamps deliver secure, stable clamping with simpler operation and better cost efficiency than specialized lifting fixtures. They are built for exactly that: dependable, horizontal steel plate handling.
Which DHK/DHKS model fits your job? If you work with standard-thickness steel plates and prefer a lightweight, compact solution, the DHKS series with standard jaw openings (0–35 mm / 0–60 mm) is the practical, economical choice. If you handle thicker steel plates that need a wider clamping range, the DHK series with an enlarged jaw opening (0–100 mm) offers extended thickness compatibility. All DHK/DHKS lifting clamps must always be used in pairs (or multiples thereof) for safe and balanced lifting.

If you only lift standard-thickness steel plates, the DHKS series with 0–35/0–60 mm jaw opening is the simpler, more cost-effective choice. For thicker plates, the DHK series with 0–100 mm enlarged jaw opening provides a wider clamping range.
Choose from 0.5 t to 10.0 t WLL per pair based on your heaviest steel plate weight, plus an appropriate safety margin.
Confirm your steel plate thickness falls within the selected model's jaw opening range before placing an order.
All DHK/DHKS clamps must always be used in pairs (or multiples thereof). Arrange clamp quantity according to your plate length and lifting points.
Engineered exclusively for horizontal steel plate lifting and transport, providing secure, slip-free clamping for flat steel workpieces.
Low self-weight for easy on-site handling, with a Working Load Limit from 0.5 t to 10.0 t per pair for reliable heavy-duty lifting.
Two series available: DHKS with standard 0–35/0–60 mm openings, and DHK with enlarged 0–100 mm openings to suit varied plate thicknesses.
Mandatory use in pairs (or multiples thereof) ensures even load distribution and stable, balanced lifting for maximum operational safety.
Built with high-strength steel for durability in harsh industrial environments, requiring minimal maintenance over a long service life.
Ideal for steel warehouses, fabrication workshops, construction sites and processing lines, fitting diverse horizontal plate lifting scenarios.
From what lifting scenarios can the DHK/DHKS clamps work?
They are used for horizontal lifting and transporting of steel plates in various working scenarios — steel warehouses, metal fabrication workshops, steel structure construction sites, shipyards and plate processing lines, paired with overhead cranes or hoisting equipment.
What capacities does it come in?
The DHK/DHKS series covers a Working Load Limit (WLL) from 0.5t to 10.0t per pair. Multiple pairs can be used together for longer and heavier steel plates.
How does the safety mechanism work?
The clamps feature a self-tightening jaw design — the heavier the load, the stronger the clamping force to prevent slipping. They must be used in pairs (or multiples thereof) to ensure even load distribution and stable lifting. All structural parts are made of high-strength steel for heavy-duty reliability.
What jaw openings are available?
The DHKS series offers standard jaw openings of 0–35mm and 0–60mm for regular-thickness plates. The DHK series features an enlarged jaw opening of 0–100mm to accommodate thicker steel plates.
What standards does it comply with?
It is manufactured to EN 13157 standard with a 4:1 safety factor, suitable for industrial heavy-duty horizontal steel plate lifting operations.
