NTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Vertical Plate Clamp (“plate
clamp” or simply “clamp”) made by Vestil Manufacturing
Corporation (“Vestil”). Our plate clamps are durable, high-quality
products that combine safety features and superior lifting
capabilities. Despite the clamp’s relatively simple mechanisms,
all personnel must familiarize themselves with the safe operation
instructions provided in this manual.
We produce 4 types of vertical plate clamp with chain, the CPC-10, CPC-20,
CPC-40, and the CPC-80. Each clamp is constructed from steel and has a
powder coat finish. All models incorporate a heavy duty formed shackle for easy
use with overhead hoists. The three models are distinguishable by lifting
capacity, maximum thickness of the sheet material to be lifted, and the bale
diameter (point of connection with the hoist) as indicated in the following table:
Maximum Plate Maximum Rated Shackle Opening
Model Thickness (inches) Load (Pounds) (inches)
CPC-10 0.6 1,000 2-1/4
CPC-20 0.8 2,000 3
CPC-40 1 4,000 3-3/4
CPC-80 1-3/16 6,600 5-1/4
Vestil Manufacturing Corp. created this manual to acquaint owners and
users of our clamps with safe use and maintenance procedures. Employers are
responsible for instructing employees to use the product properly.
Employees and any other persons, who might foreseeably use, install, or
perform maintenance on the clamp, must read and understand every
instruction before using the device. Persons who use the clamp should
have access to the manual at all times, and in particular should consult the
directions before each use. Contact Vestil for answers to any question you
have after reading the entire manual.
Although we strive to identify the foreseeable hazardous situations that
could arise during use, this manual cannot address every conceivable danger.
The end-user is ultimately responsible for exercising sound judgment at all times.
