Hydraulic Cage Clamp

When pipe diameter and wall thickness make manual clamping impractical, Technical Pipeline's Hydraulic Cage Clamp delivers strong, consistent clamping force with minimal operator effort. Built for cross-country pipeline construction and heavy industrial piping, it aligns large-diameter pipe quickly and holds it securely throughout the welding sequence. A wide bridge opening leaves up to 90% of the root pass accessible before the clamp needs to be repositioned, cutting downtime between joints. Integrated jackscrews and a beveled wedge system correct edge misalignment (Hi-Lo) and fine-tune the root gap, while the hydraulic cylinder — rated for the full diameter range — provides even clamping force in any working position, including vertical and overhead fit-ups. The range is available in thirty-nine standard models covering 10" to 120" (273–3048 mm), with a recommended wall thickness of 1–19 mm across the range. Once welding is complete, the hydraulic release mechanism allows fast, low-effort removal, keeping crews moving between joints on tight construction schedules.
