The ideal clamping solution for panels, stair components, rails, posts and architectural millwork.
The Doucet SRX Hydraulic Clamp Carrier is an industrial clamp carrier that is available in working lengths from 6 ½’ to 24 ½’ and with 6 to 80 sections (clamping layers). The powerful hydraulic power unit is used for rotating the clamp to the next section and on request is also used for tightening. Available with standard acme screw or rapid change clamps from 2 ½” or 3 ½” with 32” to 52” maximum opening. For thicker material, the clamps can be outfitted with 4” or 6” clamp extenders making it ideal for clamping posts or beams.
All Doucet SRX clamp carriers come with heavy-duty panel clamps, the heaviest and sturdiest in the industry. The “U-shaped” notched bar never bows improving clamp life. The notches on the clamp allow a rapid positioning of the movable jaw and a gain in efficiency. Clamps are designed to deliver the highest clamping force up to 5000 lb. The torque ratio is infinitely adjustable and capable to reach the perfect pressure at the glue joint. The fixed position 8’’ wide jaw, for high volume applications, increases the productivity by 15 to 20% by removing the non-value-added tasks of the operators to move clamps between panel length changes.
