The forged fixed bracket made from a single piece, with a shaped pressure plate, is tempered and galvanized, making it highly load-bearing and torsionally rigid. The optimized profile shape allows for greater extension while maintaining stability. The handle is located behind the rail of the clamp and is specifically designed for tensioning and spreading hard-to-reach workpieces. The heat-resistant special pressure plate can be tilted up to 35° and is replaceable. It has an extremely long service life due to the excellent sliding and emergency running properties of the hardened and oil-impregnated sintered steel insert. The end stop is removable, allowing for quick repositioning of the sliding bracket for spreading functionality.
