A DLC horizontal lifting clamp constructed from die‑forged special alloy steel with optimal tempering, that performs secure horizontal lifting of H, T and L shaped structural steel with a mechanically optimized compact, lightweight design for easy operation. With working load limits from 1t to 3t per pair and jaw openings ranging from 1–13mm to 12–35mm across models, it’s built for convenient horizontal handling of profiled steel sections, not just standard flat plate lifting clamps.
The DLC horizontal lifting clamp is designed for horizontal lifting of "H", "T" and "L" shaped structural steel. From a mechanical point of view, these clamps have an ideal design — compact, light weight and easy to use. With a working load limit from 1t to 3t per pair, it is built for convenient horizontal handling of shaped steel sections.
The main body and parts are made from die-forged special alloy steels, optimally tempered for maximum strength and durability. Jaw opening ranges from 1–13 mm on the DLC-1 to 3–22 mm on the DLC-2 and 12–35 mm on the DLC-3, with net weight from just 2.1 kg up to 8.5 kg.
Specially designed for horizontal lifting of H-beams, I-beams, T-beams, L-beams, and other structural steel sections.
Compact structure, lightweight design, and easy operation make the clamp convenient for installation, handling, and daily use.
The main body and key components are made from special alloy steel die forgings and optimally heat-treated for high strength and excellent durability.
WLL 1–3 Ton/Pair, with a jaw opening of 1–35 mm, suitable for secure clamping and horizontal lifting of steel materials with different thicknesses.
Where an "H", "T" or "L" shaped structural steel section must be picked up and moved horizontally, a dedicated horizontal clamp grips the member directly. The DLC is built for exactly that: an ideal, compact and light-weight design that is easy to use on the shop floor.
Which DLC model fits your job? For thin sections, the DLC-1 (1t per pair) covers a 1–13 mm jaw. For medium sections, the DLC-2 (2t per pair) covers 3–22 mm. For thicker sections, the DLC-3 (3t per pair) covers 12–35 mm. All share a die-forged special-alloy-steel body optimally tempered for maximum strength and durability, with net weight from just 2.1 kg up to 8.5 kg.

If an "H", "T" or "L" shaped structural steel section must be lifted horizontally, the DLC clamp is the right choice — compact, light weight and easy to use.
Choose from 1t, 2t and 3t per pair based on the heaviest section load, plus safety margin.
Confirm the jaw range matches your material: 1–13 mm on the DLC-1, 3–22 mm on the DLC-2, and 12–35 mm on the DLC-3.
The main body and parts are made from die-forged special alloy steels, optimally tempered for maximum strength and durability.
Suitable for horizontal lifting of H-shaped, I-shaped, T-shaped, and L-shaped structural steel.
Compact design with low weight, making it easy to carry, install, and operate on site.
Simple and practical design allows quick clamping and lifting, improving work efficiency.
The main body and key components are made from die-forged special alloy steel for excellent strength and durability.
Key components are specially heat-treated to enhance strength, wear resistance, and service life.
Stable and secure clamping structure provides reliable performance for horizontal lifting of structural steel and shaped steel.
What applications is the DLC horizontal clamp designed for?
The DLC is purpose-engineered for the horizontal lifting and transverse handling of "H", "T" and "L" type structural steel sections, where a controlled edge grip is required.
What working load limits are available?
The range provides a per-pair WLL of 1t, 2t and 3t (DLC-1, DLC-2 and DLC-3), covering light to medium structural-steel lifting duties.
What is the jaw opening capacity?
The DLC-1 accommodates a 1–13 mm jaw opening, the DLC-2 3–22 mm, and the DLC-3 12–35 mm, allowing selection to match the flange or plate thickness being lifted.
What material is the clamp body?
The main body and load-bearing components are die-forged from special alloy steels and optimally heat-treated to deliver maximum strength and structural durability under repeated lifting cycles.
How does it perform in service?
Mechanically it represents an optimised, compact design — low self-weight (2.1 kg to 8.5 kg) and straightforward operation, enabling rapid engagement and release in repetitive shop-floor lifting tasks.
