Jacks with Lifting Claws (Type C)
Claws are supplied as an accessory to provide a low height
lifting point. The recess in the head of the claw fits around the
ram top, and the heel of the claw rests against the front face
of the jack. Ensure the claw is seated properly before use and
also that the toe is as far under the load as possible.

Claw Loads
The “Claw Load” is marked on the jack nameplate. Do not
exceed this load on the claw of the jack. If the claw is
overloaded it could snap and put the operator in danger.
Claws must only be used for vertical movements of loads.
