The Camlok HG500 is a compact 500 kg WLL vertical plate clamp engineered for lighter-duty plate and sheet handling where the larger CX or CZ ranges are excessive. It uses the same self-locking cam mechanism as the heavier series but in a more compact, lighter package suitable for one-person attachment and rapid cycling.
Key Features
- 500 kg WLL — sized for light- to medium-duty vertical plate handling.
- Compact and lightweight — easier to handle than the larger CX/CZ series — ideal for frequent attachment cycles.
- Self-locking cam action — gripping force increases with load for secure attachment.
- Forged steel construction — built for daily use in fabrication shops.
- Vertical-only lifting — designed for true vertical plate lifts.
CE Marked, UKCA Compliant & LOLER Ready
The Camlok HG500 is CE marked, UKCA compliant, and supplied with certification. Fully compatible with LOLER 1998 and PUWER 1998 when used within rated capacity.
Suitable Applications
Light fabrication, sheet metal shops, sign-making, and general plate handling at the 500 kg WLL range. Ideal for repeat lifts of moderate-weight stock where the larger CX series is unnecessary.
Inspection and Maintenance
A visual inspection is required before every use. A thorough examination by a qualified engineer is required at least every 6 months in regular use, in accordance with LOLER 1998. Records of examination must be kept.
