Lifting Bars — Two-Plate & Three-Plate
Select compatible lifting bar for two-plate or three-plate injection molds. Secure handling for heavy molds.
Two-Plate vs Three-Plate Lifting Bar Selection
| Factor | Two-Plate Mold Lifting Bar | Three-Plate Mold Lifting Bar |
|---|---|---|
| Plates to Lock | 2 (fixed half + moving half) | 3 (runner plate + cavity plate + core plate) |
| Separation Risk | Low (2 plates self-close under gravity) | High (runner plate can separate and fall) |
| Bar Configuration | Single bar across parting line | Bar must clamp all 3 plates together |
| Clamp Travel Required | Equal to mold height (2 plates) | Greater clamp travel (3 plates stacked) |
| Safety Priority | Standard | Critical (falling runner plate = severe hazard) |
| Recommended For | Standard two-plate injection molds | Three-plate cold runner molds, stack molds |
Application Scenarios
Mold Change on Production Floor
Pain point: Quick mold changes require safe, fast transport between the storage area and the injection molding machine.
Why it fits: Lifting bars with quick-clamp mechanisms allow operators to secure and release the mold in under 30 seconds, reducing changeover time while maintaining safety.
Recommended: Lifting Bar matched to mold width and weight class
