Camlok Non Marking Clamp 180kg-1500kg/0-20mm

Camlok LJ 1500-L is a purpose-built non-marking plate clamp engineered for lifting, turning, and transporting plate stock without leaving marks, dents, or surface damage. Designed for a wide range of materials—from structural steel and stainless to timber and aluminium—this clamp protects pristine finishes while delivering dependable, friction-based clamping performance.

Key features that protect finishes and boost productivity

• Friction-based, non-marking grip: Unlike toothed clamps, this design uses surface friction with leather-padded contact to hold plates securely without indentations or scratching—ideal for Hardox or other tough surfaces.
• Leather-padded contact surfaces: Securely fitted leather pads distribute clamping pressure evenly across the plate, reducing localized wear and preserving edge quality.
• Broad capacity and thickness range: 180 kg–1500 kg capacity and 0–20 mm plate thickness coverage handle a wide spectrum of fabrication and production tasks.
• Material versatility: Suitable for structural steel plates, stainless steel, iron, timber and aluminium, including plates with challenging finishes.
• Water-jet friendly: Well-suited for plates cut by water-jet processes; designed to avoid submersion and minimize surface impact during handling.

Why this clamp matters in real-world workflows

In workshops where high-value plates travel between machines and assembly lines, maintaining surface integrity is as important as the lift itself. The Camlok LJ 1500-L delivers reliable friction-based clamping that protects finishes, reduces subsequent surface prep, and streamlines handling—from stock preparation to final assembly.

Ideal use cases

• Moving stainless steel and structural steel plates between workstations without leaving marks.
• Handling aluminum and timber panels during fabrication, machining, or assembly processes.
• Turning, rotating, and staging plates during welding, grinding, or finishing operations where surface quality matters.
• Managing high-value, precision plates in environments that demand gentle yet secure grip.

Operational guidelines and best practices

1. Operate only within the specified range: 180–1500 kg and 0–20 mm plate thickness to maintain safe, stable lifting.
2. Inspect leather pads regularly for wear and replace as needed to preserve non-marking performance.
3. Align clamps to distribute load evenly; avoid burrs or sharp edges that could damage pads or affect grip.
4. For very hard or specialty plates, rely on the friction-based grip to minimize surface markings, and avoid submerging the clamp during use.

Maintenance and care

Keep clamping surfaces clean and free of debris that could affect friction performance. Schedule periodic inspections of the leather pads and replace components at the first sign of wear to ensure consistent, damage-free handling over time.

Brand trust and spec highlights
