18-inch cross-over clamp for industrial clamping
This Bessey bar clamp delivers 1,100 lb of clamping force across an 18-inch capacity with a 4 3/4-inch throat depth. The steel bar and spindle handle heavy-duty workholding in fabrication and assembly tasks. An ergonomic grip on the 4-inch steel handle reduces fatigue during repeated tightening. It suits tradespeople who need strong, repeatable pressure on wide workpieces.
Steel bar construction with antivibe ergonomic grip
The bar is made from steel for rigidity, while the handle uses steel fitted with an ergonomic grip designed to dampen vibration. Standard jaw pads measuring 1 1/2 inches wide distribute force evenly across the contact surface. A 3/4-inch spindle diameter and bar-slide mechanism allow smooth jaw adjustment without play. The 5.15-unit weight reflects the solid steel build.
Replaces lighter bar clamps when force
Step up from clamps with lower force ratings or shorter capacity when joints require 1,100 lb across 18 inches. The deeper throat reaches past obstructions that block shallow clamps. The antivibe grip pays off during long glue-ups or welding setups where many cycles are needed. If the job stays within smaller spans or lighter loads, a compact clamp remains the practical choice.

Questions about this item
How much clamping force does the 18 in capacity bar clamp deliver?
The clamp provides 1,100 lb of clamping force across its full 18 in capacity, suited for industrial holding tasks.
What clearance and mounting area do the jaws and bar require on the workpiece?
The jaws are 1 1/2 in wide with a 4 3/4 in throat depth, and the steel bar slides through a 3/4 in spindle, so allow that space around the joint.
What is the correct way to position the ergonomic handle when tightening?
Turn the 4 in steel handle clockwise to advance the sliding bar; applying force on the ergonomic grip rather than the bar end prevents misalignment.
