The Flexible Solution for Efficient Roll, Drum and Barrel Handling 

The Electric Clamp (EC) is a versatile lifting tool designed for handling cylindrical loads such as rolls, drums, and barrels.

Built on a modular concept, the EC can be fitted with interchangeable lifting arms and grippers, allowing it to be quickly adapted to different load types (even boxes) within the same workspace by simply removing two locking pins. The tool can be mounted directly on a lifter or combined with manipulation units such as the Electric Rotation Unit (ERU), enabling loads to be lifted, rotated, repositioned, or emptied. This makes the EC ideal for applications such as emptying drums or positioning rolls onto mandrels.

Powered by an electric actuator, the EC generates a smooth and controlled clamping motion. Different lifting arms and grippers allow the tool to be configured for a wide range of load dimensions and surfaces, while the clamping force can be adjusted through the selected arm configuration and electronically limited to suit specific applications.

An integrated electronic overload sensor automatically stops the clamping movement when the preset force is reached, and a green status indicator confirms when the load has been securely clamped. A remote control enables safe and convenient operation from a distance.

Key characteristics:

• Electronic overload protection 
  
• Remote-controlled operation
• Visual confirmation of secure clamping
• Maximum clamping force: 4500 N
• Compatible with various manipulation tools, including rotation units such as the Electric Rotation Unit (ERU)
• Supports point grip, plate grip, and belt grip configurations
• Suitable for rolls, drums, barrels and similar loads
