FAQ about this model
What is the maximum load capacity of this clamp?
The Bison HPG-3 is rated for 3 tons (6,000 lbs). This is the maximum working load and should not be exceeded regardless of plate size or shape, as long as the plate is steel and within the clamp's jaw range.
Can this clamp lift plates in a vertical orientation?
No, this model is designed strictly for horizontal lifting orientation. It is built to move steel plates while keeping them flat, not to lift them on edge. If you need vertical lifting, you would need a different clamp model.
What materials can this clamp handle?
The HPG-3 is designed specifically for steel plates. Its jaw mechanism and construction are matched to steel material properties, so it should not be used on other metals or materials outside this compatibility.
How does the clamp grip and lock onto the plate?
It uses a spring-loaded cam and pivot jaw mechanism combined with an integrated locking mechanism. This design allows the jaws to close and secure onto the plate edge, holding it in place during horizontal lifting.
Does this clamp meet any recognized safety standard?
Yes, it is built to ASME B30.20 (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), which governs below-the-hook lifting devices like plate clamps. This standard applies directly to the design and use of this equipment.
What is the clamp's headroom clearance like, and what warranty is included?
It has a low profile design for reduced headroom in tight lifting situations. The clamp is constructed from high-grade alloy steel and comes with a 12-month warranty from Bison Lifting.
