FAQ about this model

What is the maximum load this clamp can lift?

The Bison UPG-5 has a rated capacity of 5 tons (10,000 lbs / 4536 kg). It's proof tested at 200% of rated working load limit (10 tons / 20,000 lbs) and built with a minimum safety factor of 4:1.

What plate thicknesses will this clamp fit?

The jaw opening range is 0 to 2.5 inches (0 - 63mm), so it will grip plates anywhere within that thickness range. Check your material's exact thickness against this range before ordering.

Can this clamp be used for both vertical and horizontal lifting?

Yes, the UPG-5 is a universal clamp rated for vertical, horizontal, and turning orientations. It uses a 360-degree swivel shackle, which allows the clamp to rotate as needed during these different lifting positions.

How much does the clamp itself weigh, and what is it made of?

The clamp weighs approximately 35 lbs (15.9 kg) and is constructed from high-strength forged alloy steel. This is worth factoring in if you're calculating total rigging weight alongside your load.

Does this clamp meet any lifting standards?

Yes, it complies with ASME B30.20 (below-the-hook lifting devices) and OSHA 1910.184 (slings), both of which govern this type of lifting equipment. It also carries a 12-month warranty from Bison Lifting.
