For more variants related to Destaco 6001-M clamp, refer to Destaco 6001 Series Clamps page on our website.

Q. What does holding capacity signify in terms of clamps?

A. The term "holding capacity" or the holding force shows the capability of the clamp to hold down an equipment, workpiece or a sheet metal on the assembly line. It also denotes the maximum external force that a clamp in a locked position can resist safely without getting deformed permanently.

Q. Does Destaco sell manual clamps in handle colours other than red?

A. Yes, Destaco can supply manual clamps in a wide range of coloured handles according to customer requirements. Destaco also offers special grips without Destaco logo upon request.

Q. Are Destaco clamps corrosion resistant?

A. All of the Destaco carbon steel clamps are zinc plated to resist wear & tear due to harsh industrial environments and provide rust resistance. Destaco also supplies stainless steel clamps for outdoor applications requiring clamping operation.

Q. How does a straight line action clamp work?

A. A straight line action clamp is manually operated using a lever or handle for pushing a clamp plunger against the workpiece and holding it securely. The handle is generally rotated upwards or downwards for pushing or pulling the clamp plunger.

Q. Can Destaco clamps be used for hoisting or lifting applications?

A. No, Destaco clamps are load-rated only for clamping applications. They are not designed for use in lifting or hoisting applications.
