Collection: BESSEY lever clamps GRA, GRA-12 and GRD, pressure plate pivots up to 30° for difficult clamping tasks

BESSEY Gripping Clamps

Special design for particularly difficult clamping tasks. BESSEY gripping clamps with a tilting pressure plate (up to 35°) allow flexible clamping even with unusual workpiece geometries.

The flexible pressure plate adapts to the workpiece and guarantees a secure hold even on inclined surfaces. Can also be used as a spreading clamp by repositioning the sliding arm – one tool for two functions.

Why BESSEY Gripping Clamps?

Tilting pressure plate up to 35°

The flexible pressure plate adapts to inclined workpiece surfaces – perfect for clamping tasks where conventional clamps fail.

Clamping and spreading in one tool

By simply repositioning the sliding arm with the GRD pressure pad, the clamp becomes a spreading clamp – versatile and space-saving.

External tommy bar handle

Protected from weld spatter behind the rail – free access to the working area during welding.

Clamping force up to 7,500 N

Forged fixed jaw from a single piece for maximum stability and durability even with intensive use.

Areas of application for gripping clamps

Welding and metal construction: External tommy bar handle protects against weld spatter
