Vulcan vaults to new heights: Vertical lifting clamps set standards for dependability

Nova and Super lifting clamps by Vulcan

Dobco Equipment Ltd. supplies a wide variety of lifting and hoisting solutions among its wide selection of industrial products – including numerous options by Vulcan Hoist. For example, the distributor carries Vulcan’s Nova and Super brands of vertical lifting clamps. These lifting accessories are designed to last while offering reliable performance every time.

The Nova vertical CDE clamp (NVC) and the Super vertical lifting clamp with stopper (SVC) are two of the most acclaimed models among these Vulcan vertical hoist clamps.

With heavy-duty industrial plate clamp

Available with a one-year warranty, the Nova vertical CDE hoisting clamp is an economical solution with all-steel robust construction, a heavy-duty industrial plate clamp, latch locks in closed and opened positions for easy positioning of the unit, and sideways articulation. Another key feature is the eye hinge, which enables both pulling and lifting. The Nova CDE is available from Dobco in five models, with a capacity of 4/5, one, two, 3.2, or five metric tons.

Among the technical specifications for the Nova CDE, depending on the model: maximum opening ranges from 3/5 to two inches; test load runs from 3,527 to 22,046 pounds (lbs); net weight goes from four to 46 lbs; and length ranges from 8.7 to 17.2 inches.

The Super vertical lifting clamp with stopper is tested by the Vulcan team at 300 per cent of the rated load to ensure safe, reliable performance, and its structural parts are die-forged. This vertical lifting clamp meets the strict requirements of several safety standards, including ASME B30.20, ASME BTH-1 Design Category A, and ASME BTH-1 Service Class 0.

Recommended for hoisting steel plates and steel structures, the Super vertical lifting clamp with stopper is easy to operate, with all major components within the body and no external projection. When the user sets the stopper mechanism, the cam will be locked in an open position, making it simple to set the clamp onto the workpiece. The piece cannot be lifted when the clamp is unlocked, which can be confirmed visually, and the clamping force increases in proportion to the load weight.
