UNSPSC 24101648: Plate lifting clamp

Clamp manufactured to transport mainly plate type objects by picking up or hanging them horizontally or vertically.

UNSPSC 24101648 Plate lifting clamp (Commodity) is a narrow product code whose nominal scope—individual clamping hardware—does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged to it. The recent opportunities posted under this code solicited portable construction equipment, aerial lift inspections, vehicle lift maintenance and repairs, and warehouse material handling equipment—none of which center on plate lifting clamps as individual products. The activity appears to reflect miscoding by issuing bodies rather than authentic market demand for the specific hardware this code describes.

Geographic and issuing-body activity across the mislabeled opportunities spans Texas (Educational Service District 564), Florida (City of Ocala Fleet Management Department), North Carolina (Charlotte Area Transit System Bus Operations Division), and California (Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles). Recent opportunities include Educational Service District 564's IFB for portable construction and maintenance equipment due November 19, 2026; the City of Ocala's ITB for aerial lift inspection services (posted March 9, 2026, bid due March 5, 2026); Charlotte Area Transit System's request for proposals on portable lift repairs for Stertil Koni equipment (due July 8, 2026); and Los Angeles Superior Court's IFB for warehouse material handling equipment including electric reach trucks, sit-down forklifts, and pallet jacks (due May 23, 2026). The code shows no current market activity in plate lifting clamps themselves; vendors pursuing opportunities tagged to this code should verify the issuing body's actual procurement need before responding, as the posted scope typically falls under higher-tier material handling or equipment maintenance families rather than fastening hardware.
