Plate lifting dogs are designed for lifting sheets of metal and similar loads. Made from robust and durable steel, this lifting tool allows operators to lift a plate on an edge.
Each type of lifting dog has a flange or lip where the steel or other plate material sits. The top edge of the dogs are fitted to a lifting sling. When the loaded dogs are lifted the forces imposed from the angles and weight will ensure the plate dogs close around the plate and holds firmly until set down again.
