Effortless Lifting of Heavy Drums, Barrels and Rolls and other Cylindrical Loads

The Manual Linear Clamp (MLC) is designed for manual clamping of loads using various lifting arms and grippers depending on the load type.

The MLC can be combined with tipping or rotation units depending on the application and handling requirements. It is commonly used for handling drums, barrels, rolls, and similar loads.

The MLC consists of a self-locking worm gear system that drives the carriages via manual operation of the handwheel. The mechanical design enables controlled clamping and maintains grip during lifting and handling operations.

Key characteristics:

• Manual self-locking worm gear system with handwheel-operated carriages 
  
• Controlled and stable clamping during lifting and handling operations 
  
• Maximum clamping force of approximately 7500 N 
  
• Compatible with various manipulation tools, including rotation units such as Electric Rotation Unit (ERU) and Manual Rotation Unit (MRU) and tipping units such as Electric Tipping Unit (ETU) and Manual Tipping Unit (MTU)
  
• Supports point grip, plate grip, and belt grip configurations
  
• Suitable for rolls, drums, barrels and similar loads
