Sawyer’s Ratchet Cage Clamp
Model 255R
For fast, secure, and repeatable pipe alignment in the field, Sawyer’s External Ratchet Cage Clamp is built to perform. Engineered with a focus on speed and strength, this rugged alignment tool uses a powerful ratchet mechanism to quickly draw large-diameter pipe ends into precise alignment—saving time and effort without sacrificing accuracy.
Constructed from high-quality steel, the Ratchet Cage Clamp is built to withstand harsh jobsite conditions while delivering reliable fit-up performance over years of use. Its hinged design allows for quick and easy placement around the pipe, and each clamp is precision-sized to fit a specific pipe diameter. Available in sizes from 6″ to 60″, it’s the ideal solution for heavy-duty pipe-to-pipe alignment across a wide range of diameters and wall thicknesses—up to Schedule 80.
Users can choose between tack-style flat crossbars or no-tack arched bars based on their welding needs. The flat bars are flared to make pipe positioning easier and are removed after tack welding. The arched no-tack option allows for full 360-degree welding without having to remove the clamp, increasing efficiency and weld quality while reducing handling time.
The ratchet mechanism applies greater alignment force than traditional cage clamps, making it ideal for larger or heavier pipe sections where extra muscle is needed to bring ends together cleanly. A separately sold Ratchet Handle (Model 255RH) is used to engage the system. For added fit-up precision, the clamp is compatible with Sawyer’s Spacing Tools, Jack Screw Wedges, and Hi-Lo Wedges.
Built with the operator’s safety and jobsite durability in mind, the External Ratchet Cage Clamp delivers the speed, strength, and simplicity that pipeline professionals demand. It’s not intended to reform, lift, or move pipe, and should never be used with shims or cheaters—but when it comes to pure alignment power, it’s one of the most trusted clamps on the market.
When your pipe alignment needs are critical, trust Sawyer’s Ratchet Cage Clamp to keep your fit-ups fast, accurate, and field-ready—job after job.
