Product Identity
The Renfroe JPA-00.50-A is a steel plate clamp rated for a 1000 lb working load limit. It handles vertical lifting and a 180 degree flip for plates up to 5/8 in thick. The clamp uses a pivoting shackle and a toothed grip to secure material during overhead moves. It suits riggers and fabricators positioning flat steel stock.
Deciding Specification
The maximum material thickness of 5/8 in is the single limit that decides fit. The jaw opens from 0 to 5/8 in and locks manually when closed. If your plate exceeds that thickness the clamp cannot close and the load will not hold. Always verify plate gauge before selecting this model.
Accessory Impact
The pivoting shackle with a 2 3/8 in attachment diameter connects directly to a hook or sling. No extra rigging hardware is bundled so you must supply compatible connections. The manual open and close with lock mechanism requires operator action for each lift cycle. No powered actuation or remote release is included.

Questions about this item
What does the 1000 lb Working Load Limit mean when the clamp is mounted on a hoist?
It is the maximum load the clamp may lift vertically when the shackle is correctly seated and the plate thickness is within the 0 to 5/8 in range.
How does the pivoting shackle with a 2 3/8 in attachment diameter limit the rigging hardware I can use?
The shackle pin hole accepts hooks or links up to 2 3/8 in diameter; larger fittings will not pass through the pivoting eye.
Will the clamp fit a 5/8 in thick steel plate that is only 3 in wide?
The jaw opens to a maximum of 5/8 in and the clamp body is 3 1/4 in wide, so a 3 in wide plate leaves minimal side clearance but will fit.
