RED MASTER CLAMP

The Hercules Red Master Clamp is a revolutionary internal hydraulic line up clamp for the smaller pipe ranges for on and offshore applications. The clamp combines pneumatic with hydraulic force which generates excellent capacities for heavy wall thickness pipes. Its solid housing and superb material treatment the clamp can withstand major forces. The clamping force is adjustable up to 44 tons whoch allows a precise alignment of the welding joint. It eliminates any miss match for heavy wall small bore pipes and is especially suitable for s- and j-lay systems. The support rollers have easy acces and less adjustment time by using a centre screw. The red Master Clamp can be expanded with several options such as a drop fail protection module, copper shoes module, motorization module and/ or backing oxygen module.
