Clamping with leverage Speed, safety and strength The original BESSEY lever clamps are lightweight, easy to handle, dimensionally stable, and torsion resistant. And the best thing is: they can clamp up to 5x faster than conventional clamps. This is because they use the natural force of the lever, meaning that with just a small amount of effort they can quickly produce large clamping pressures. This is particularly valuable in situations where many clamps have to be applied in a short time, with no risk of loosening due to vibrations. Try it out! The lever clamp GH allows you to clamp up to 5 x faster than with conventional clamps. Rapid - Up to 5 x faster than conventional clampsSecure - Unaffected by vibrationsStrong - High clamping forceYour benefits at a glance: Secure ratchet mechanismThe ratchet mechanism ensures rapid, controlled, vibration free clamping. Hardened cam at the end of the lever ensures a long service life. Extremely sturdyFixed bracket and pressure plate are produced and tempered from a single piece, thus very torsion-resistant. This guarantees you maximum tensile strength and sturdiness. Forged sliding armThe sliding arm is serrated and made from tempered, drop-forged steel. For an extremely long service life. Ergonomically shaped clamping leverThe powder-coated clamping lever and the plastic-coated release lever are also remarkably ergonomic.The Bessey GH16 Lever Clamp has the following specification: Clamping Force: up to 8,000N.Opening: 160mm.Throat Depth: 80mm.Rail: 16 x 7.5mm.Weight: 0.64kg.
