Frequently Asked Questions

Does the brand offer horizontal hold down clamps in other base mounting styles?

Yes, in addition to this carbon steel variant, Destaco also offers stainless steel (Destaco 309-USS & Destaco 307-USS) horizontal clamps.

What is a horizontal hold down clamp?

Destaco horizontal hold down clamps are designed for keeping a workpiece stationary against a flat surface / workbench, for various industrial applications like metalworking and woodworking.

How do horizontal hold down clamps work?

Some U bar style clamping arm clamps feature a hex head stainless steel spindle that is manually operated using a handle / lever. This handle movement pushes the spindle against the workpiece and prevents it from moving mid operation, thereby ensuring secure clamping.

What does holding capacity mean in terms of clamps?

The holding force or the holding capacity depicts the clamp's capability to hold down sheet metal or equipment on assembly lines or during manufacturing processes.

What is the difference between a vertical & horizontal toggle clamp?

The difference lies in the orientation of the handle when the clamp is in the locked position. A vertical clamp handle is positioned vertically (perpendicular to the base) when in locked position, while in the case of a horizontal toggle clamp, it is positioned horizontally (parallel to the base).

Which grease is recommended for use with Destaco clamps when rebuilding?

For ensuring smooth operation & durability of mechanical clamps, it is recommended to use a coupling grease like Mobil XTC.

What does the red colour of the handle of Destaco clamps mean?

The red coloured handles on Destaco clamps just denote a recognisable area. This is done to alert the worker / operator where the operating handle is and where he should grab it. Its colour has no additional significance to the working of the clamp.
