Abstract:
An opposable clamp arm of a load handling device such as a lift truck attachment. An upper clamp pad portion may have a generally planar plate as a main member and may have a load-gripping face layer. A lower clamp pad assembly has a plurality of separately replaceable wear-compensating load-contacting elements mounted interchangeably on a backing plate attached to a stabilizer member of the clamp arm. The load-contacting elements may be secured to the backing plate by retainer bars fastened to the backing plate with flanges of the retainer bars overlapping margins of the load contact elements.

Claim (Index 12):
A lift truck attachment including a pair of opposable clamp arms, one of the clamp arms comprising:\n (a) a clamp pad having a width and an upper clamp pad portion including a main body plate member having a first load-grasping face; (b) a lower clamp pad assembly, the lower clamp pad assembly being smaller in height than the upper clamp pad portion and including a wear-compensating load-contacting assembly, the lower clamp pad assembly including a second load-grasping face; and (c) the wear-compensating load-contacting assembly including:\n (i) a backing plate and a plurality of load-contact elements mounted on the backing plate alongside one another along the width of the clamp pad; and \n (ii) a plurality of separate individual retainer bars and a plurality of fasteners, a respective one of the fasteners connecting each of the separate individual retainer bars to the backing plate, respective ones of the separate individual retainer bars being located between ones of the load-contact elements and having respective flanges overlapping respective portions of respective adjacent ones of the load-contact elements, thereby attaching each of the load-contact elements to the backing plate.
