BESSEY 2400S-24 High-Performance 24″ Clamp with 5-1/2″ Throat Depth

Heavy-Duty Welding & Fabrication F-Style Clamp with MorPad and Grip Handle

The BESSEY 2400S-24 is a professional-grade, 24-inch bar clamp engineered for heavy-duty clamping applications in welding, metal fabrication, and industrial assembly environments. With a 5-1/2″ throat depth and up to 2,800 lbs of clamping force, this clamp is part of BESSEY’s all-steel line of F-style clamps, trusted for their power, precision, and reliability.

This clamp is designed for high-performance use with faster setup and higher holding strength than traditional C-clamps—achieving up to 20% more clamping force per spindle turn. The patented MorPad tilts up to 35°, evenly distributing pressure and reducing internal friction, which extends both pad and screw life under heavy load. The sliding arm, made from drop-forged, tempered steel, is engineered to transfer force more efficiently, offering straight-line clamping pressure and improved stability.

Ideal for welding tables, steel fabrication, and shop fixtures, the 2400S-24 works nine times faster than conventional clamps and is built to withstand repeated, high-torque applications. Manufactured in Germany from BESSEY’s own cold-drawn, heat-treated steel, this clamp is built for long-lasting, heavy use in demanding trades.
