WDS hook clamps offer high force with rapid adjustment

A new range of hook clamps with collars has been released by WDS Component Parts, which it says delivers extremely high clamping forces, along with rapid engagement and disengagement for ultimate flexibility in use.

The new range has been designed to complement the company's existing product catalogue; offering simple installation and quick clamping and unclamping for applications that require rapid adjustment. They apply direct, downwards force whilst retaining a low profile, which is ideal for confined spaces. Chris Putman, WDS sales and marketing director, said: "We are always careful that, when adding new product lines, we introduce a range that our existing customers will find useful. The new hook clamps with collars have been developed following first hand feedback from our customers, and the range fits perfectly with our existing clamping products." Standard hook clamps are available in a range of sizes with maximum clamping forces between 7.9 and 13.5kN, while CAM hook clamps are available with a clamping force of 10kN. The clamps are constructed from heat treated steel and supplied in a chemical black finish.
