Vertical plate clamps for lifting and turning steel plate from horizontal to vertical, gripping on the plate face. Camlok hinged, heavy-duty and twin-jaw models; for coated or polished plate, use non-marring plate clamps.
Vertical plate clamps grip steel plate for lifting in the vertical plane, using cam action driven by the load itself. Some models allow the plate to be turned through ninety degrees.
