Description
Renfroe Model RSC 00.50-A Screw Clamp
The Renfroe Model RSC 00.50-A Screw Clamp is a lightweight clamp designed for vertical lifting and handling of steel plates, particularly in bench work or warehousing scenarios. Manufactured by J.C. Renfroe & Sons, Inc., this model has a rated capacity of 0.5 tons (1,000 pounds). It is intended for plates weighing less than 1,000 pounds, though it can handle larger thicknesses effectively due to its screw mechanism.
This clamp features a locking screw design, which requires manual adjustment to secure the plate. The screw mechanism ensures a firm grip by applying pressure directly to the material. It includes a swivel jaw that adapts to the plate’s surface for a reliable hold. Unlike some other Renfroe models with spring-loaded or pivoting cams, the RSC relies on the operator to set and release the clamp, offering simplicity and control for lighter, controlled lifts.
The RSC 00.50-A is compact and durable, with a focus on ease of use in environments where heavy-duty automation isn’t needed. This model is a practical choice for smaller-scale steel handling where precision and operator oversight are prioritized over high-capacity automation.
Features include:
-
Pivoting Shackle: Allows side loading at angles:
- 100% of rated capacity (1,000 lb) from vertical to 30 degrees.
- 75% (750 lb) from 30 to 45 degrees.

The Renfroe Model RSC 00.50-A Screw Clamp handles plates from 0 to 3 inches thick. Constructed from high-strength steel, it adheres to ANSI B30.20 safety standards, offering durability and ease of maintenance.
