CY Hinged Vertical Plate Clamps

The CY plate clamps with hinged hook rings can be used for the safe handling
of plate at various angles. It can lift plate from the horizontal and put it down in
the vertical. The hinged hook ring ensures adequate gripping pressure in every
position, but the load capacity reduces. See the diagram below showing the
load / force capacities.

The main benefit of the CY hinged plate clamps is that longer plates can be
lifted or handled, using two clamps on a two legged chain sling (as shown in
illustration), thus eliminating the need for a spreader beam.
