OZ Lifting Launches Hoist Clamp

Winona, Minnesota-based OZ Lifting Products LLC has launched a clamp for connecting hoists to its mounting arms. The hoist clamp presents a quick, easy, and safe way to hang any of the company’s electric chain or manual hoists, under 0.5-ton capacity, to its pipe- and wall-mounted arms with the required hardware. The user is able to mount the hoist clamp anywhere along the mounting arm at full rated capacity of 1,000 lbs.

The clamps are sold separately if users already have a mounting arm, but they can be sourced with the pipe- (model OBH230) or wall-mounted (OBH230-WALL) arms. The OBH230 was originally developed for the construction industry, mainly on jobsites with scaffolding; it is sized for scaffolding pipe diameter. The OBH230-WALL, meanwhile, has wider application uses.

The mounting arm — tested to a minimum safety factor of 3:1 — is essentially a mini jib crane and can be installed in either ‘upright’ or ‘reversed’ orientation, depending on the needs of the customer and application. When the mounting arm is in the upright position, the hoist clamp may be attached to the outermost horizontal pipe; when the arm is in the reversed position, the clamp may be attached anywhere along the horizontal pipe.

End use applications will be varied and widespread; the mounting arm is already utilized in many industries and environments. It is suitable in the construction and manufacturing sectors but also in many other vertical markets.

The OZ Lifting hoist clamp features steel construction and a long-lasting powder coat finish for added durability. It is in stock and ready for distribution to the manufacturer’s extensive dealer network.
