Product Overview

The DLD universal lifting clamp is used for lifting and transporting steel plates and structures from all positions — horizontal, vertical and sidelong. Fitted with an articulated lifting shackle, it is manufactured from high-quality carbon steel. Available from DLD-0.8 at 0.8t up to DLD-16 at 16t, it is built for flexible multi-angle plate handling.

The clamp is equipped with a safety mechanism that ensures it does not slip when lifting force is applied and when the load is being lowered, and it is locked in closed as well as in open position. Jaw opening ranges from 0–15 mm on the DLD-0.8 up to 50–150 mm on the DLD-16, with net weight from 1.9 kg to 63.5 kg.


Key Features

01

Multi-Directional Lifting

02

Wide Capacity Range

Available in 0.8–16T WLL, with multiple models to meet different lifting requirements.

03

Reliable Safety Mechanism

Equipped with a safety mechanism to help prevent slipping when lifting force is applied or loads are lowered.

04

High-Quality Carbon Steel

Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel with an articulated lifting shackle for durable and flexible operation.

Why Choose a Universal Lifting Clamp?

Where a steel plate or structure must be picked up and transported horizontally, vertically or sidelong, a universal clamp follows the load instead of fighting it. The DLD is built for exactly that: an articulated lifting shackle that swivels with the pull, in high-quality carbon steel.


Which DLD model fits your job? For thin plates, the DLD-0.8 to DLD-3 (0.8–3t) cover jaw openings from 0–15 mm to 0–30 mm. For heavier or thicker plates, the DLD-5 to DLD-16 (5–16t) handle 0–50 mm up to 50–150 mm. All share the safety mechanism that prevents slipping under lifting force and while lowering, and the clamp locks in both closed and open position. Compare: DLD UNIVERSAL LIFTING CLAMP Compare: DVC VERTICAL LIFTING CLAMP

How to Select the Right DLD Lifting Clamp

01

Confirm you need multi-angle lifting, not a single-position clamp

If the plate or structure must be lifted horizontally, vertically or sidelong, the DLD universal clamp with its articulated lifting shackle is the right choice.

02

Match WLL to plate weight

Choose from 0.8t, 1t, 2t, 3t, 5t, 8t, 12t and 16t based on the heaviest plate load, plus safety margin.

03

Check jaw opening vs plate thickness

Confirm the jaw range matches your plate: 0–15 mm to 0–30 mm on the lighter models, 0–50 mm on the 5t, and 40–80 mm / 50–100 mm / 50–150 mm on the 8–16t units.

04

Confirm safety features

The clamp is equipped with a safety mechanism that prevents slipping under lifting force and while lowering, and is locked in both closed and open position — manufactured from high-quality carbon steel.
