Raymond Mounting Clamp Plate – RA1019878

A mounting clamp plate holds a component to the truck by drawing down against it, and this Raymond plate is the flat steel member that uses its bolt holes and machined face to press a part firmly into position. Rather than relying on a single fastener, it spreads the clamping load across a broad surface, holding the part securely without concentrating force at one point.

A clamp plate loses its grip when it warps, when its face wears, or when its bolt holes elongate, letting the clamped part shift under load and vibration. Its thickness governs how much clamping force it can carry without flexing, so a thinner substitute can bow under the same torque. A sound plate restores even, secure clamping across the joint.

Match the plate by its bolt pattern, its thickness, and its overall footprint to the one being replaced, since those features set what it clamps and how it mounts.
