PULL ACTION

CLAMPS SECTION 4
Pull Action Clamps – The handle can be moved to
place the clamping pull bar (hook) around the opposing
latch and pressed down to reach the locked position.
Ideal for sealing chamber doors or mold closures, the
latch clamps provide a powerful closing force, positive
holding and convenient operation. Holding capacities
range up to 7,500 pounds, and threaded “hook” or
“U-bolt” type bars offer an adjustment feature.

STATUS OF HANDLE AND BAR

L = Locked O = Opened 1/2 = Intermediate Position

One hand is used to engage or disengage the latch

bar while the other moves the handle.
O

The “hook” or “U-bolt” type latch clamp operates the

same way but offers an adjustment feature because
of the threaded hook.

Application Note – For all pull action models, the latch

point must be below the centerline of the two pivot points
in the clamp assembly to allow proper toggle lock action.
