Bessey 12-Inch Step-Over Heavy-Duty Steel Clamp (2,660 lbs Clamp Force) | Used, Excellent Condition | Industrial Step-Over Sliding Arm Welders Clamp
Brand: Bessey Tools
Condition: Used
Clamp over channel iron, angled flanges, and structural obstructions with massive holding pressure. Upgrade your shop rigging and fabrication setup with this used Bessey 12" Step-Over Steel Clamp.
When standard F-clamps and C-clamps hit structural obstructions, fabrication stops. Designed specifically for welding, bridge building, and structural steel fabrication, the Bessey 12" Step-Over Clamp features an angled throat profile that bridges over lip edges, T-profiles, and projecting ribs to apply direct force where standard flat-jaw clamps cannot reach.
This item is in excellent, fully functional used condition. The heavy-duty acme-threaded spindle turns smoothly with clean threads, the tommy-bar handle is straight, and the ball-joint clamping pad swivels freely. Built from cold-drawn profile steel with a high-strength drop-forged sliding arm, this clamp delivers up to 2,660 lbs of clamping force. It exhibits minor cosmetic shop wear—including light surface welding spatter, minor scuffs, and light finish patina from bench use—but retains absolute structural integrity with zero cracks or bent rails.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Step-Over Jaw Design: Angled rail-and-jaw design bridges over lip profiles, flange edges, and structural obstructions to clamp flat on hidden surfaces.
-
Massive 2,660 lbs Clamping Pressure: Heavy-duty steel rail and heat-treated spindle generate up to 2,660 lbs of continuous clamping force without flexing.
-
Heavy-Duty Acme-Threaded Spindle: Smooth-running acme thread spindle resists wear and prevents binding, even under high clamping torque.
-
Cold-Drawn & Forged Steel Frame: Heat-treated profile rail and drop-forged sliding arm absorb extreme vibration and resist twisting during heavy fabrication.
-
Swivel Pressure Pad: Ball-and-socket clamping shoe adjusts instantly to uneven metal surfaces to distribute holding pressure evenly.
