Bessey Tools 12 in. Deep Reach Heavy-Duty Steel Bar Clamp, 5-1/2 in. Throat Depth, 2,400 lb Clamping Force SG5-DR

The Bessey SG5-DR is a 12 in. deep-reach heavy-duty all-steel bar clamp designed for metal fabrication, welding, and structural assembly requiring extended reach past workpiece obstacles. Featuring an extended 5-1/2 in. throat depth, this clamp reaches deep into workpieces while maintaining up to 2,400 lbs. of clamping force.

Built with an oversized cold-drawn steel rail and reinforced drop-forged sliding arm, the SG5-DR minimizes arm deflection even when clamping at maximum throat reach. The MorPad ball swivel pressure pad self-adjusts to maintain flat contact across uneven or angled faces, while rolled spindle threads deliver smooth tightening and long-term thread durability under demanding shop conditions.

Features & Benefits

• 5-1/2 in. Deep Reach Throat Depth: Allows clamping far beyond standard 4-3/4 in. reach limits to bypass edges, flanges, and obstacles.
• 2,400 lb Clamping Force: Secures thick steel plates and structural frames without movement or slippage.
• 12 in. Clamping Capacity: Provides versatile opening width for medium-to-large metal fabrications.
• Cold-Drawn Steel Rail: Maintains rigid alignment and structural integrity under maximum clamping force.
• Drop-Forged Sliding Arm: Engineered to handle extreme bending moments generated by extended throat reach.
• MorPad Ball Swivel Pad: Self-aligns to out-of-square surfaces for uniform load distribution.

What's Included

• (1) Bessey SG5-DR 12 in. Deep Reach Heavy-Duty Steel Bar Clamp
