Introducing the Renfroe Plate Clamp Buyers Kit

All Caldwell Products meet or exceed ASME standards

Why You Can Count on Caldwell and Renfroe

Renfroe plate clamps are the only choice for steel lifts that meet your superior standards ... and ours.
 
You already know that handling sheet steel is no easy task. 

Sometimes you need a horizontal pull to lift. Sometimes vertical. Or vertical plus 90  or 180. Large capacities or small. 

When you need a plate clamp, there really is only one choice.
