Campbell Lifting Clamps

Campbell clamps are known and used throughout the world for lifting, conveying and positioning of sheet, plate, weldments and structurals. The heavier the load, the tighter they grip. Parts are drop forged for strength, dependability and long life, and all clamps are individually proof tested. Replacement parts are available when needed. If you have any doubts as to the clamp best suited to your application, contact your Apex Tool Group salesman.

Inspection, Maintenance & Repair

It is important to establish a regular procedure for clamp inspection. Frequency of inspection will depend upon the amount of use the clamp receives. Campbell clamps are built to withstand rough treatment, however, grit, dirt, sludge and mud should be removed. This may be done easily by immersing the entire clamp in a can of degreaser and leaving it there overnight. Also, periodic oiling of all pins and rivets will improve performance and help to extend the life of the clamp. You may wish to maintain a written record, indicating inspection dates, condition of the clamp on each of those dates, and any repairs made. Inspection records should be reviewed periodically.
