Wielander & Schill Mity-Bite Clamp Large 5cm 511312

Mity-Bite Clamp Large — Heavy-Duty Panel Pulling with 100 kN Force

The Wielander & Schill Mity-Bite Clamp Large 5cm (511312) is the heavy-duty option in the W & S bite clamp range. With 100 kN of clamping force and a 55 mm jaw width, it grips firmly onto panels, flanges, and structural sections for demanding pulling tasks. Whether you are straightening a sill, pulling a quarter panel, or correcting structural misalignment, the Mity-Bite Large delivers the grip you need.

100 kN Clamping Force

At 100 kN, the Mity-Bite Large provides significantly more holding power than smaller pull clamps. This is essential for heavy pulls where the clamp must resist sustained force without slipping. The automatic self-tightening cone increases grip as pulling force rises, so the harder you pull, the tighter the clamp holds. As a result, you can apply full pulling force with complete confidence that the clamp will not release.

55 mm Jaw Width for Broader Grip

The 55 mm jaw width spreads clamping pressure across a wider area of the panel. This has two important benefits. First, it reduces the risk of the jaws cutting into or deforming thin sheet metal during heavy pulls. Second, it provides a more stable grip on wider panel sections, flanges, and folded edges. Consequently, you get cleaner pulls with less secondary damage to the surrounding panel area.

For comparison, the smaller Mini-Bite (511314) has a 30 mm jaw width for tight-access work. The Mity-Bite Large is the right choice when you have enough access space and need maximum grip strength on broader sections.

Self-Tightening Cone Mechanism

Like all W & S bite clamps, the Mity-Bite Large uses a cone-based self-tightening system. As you apply pulling force through the chain or lever, the cone drives the jaws progressively tighter onto the panel. This automatic action means the clamp cannot slip during use, even under the full 100 kN load. There is no need to stop and re-tighten mid-pull.

One-Handed Clamping

The hexagonal clamping screw is recessed within the clamp body and locked in position. Because of this, you can tighten the Mity-Bite securely with just one hand. Your other hand stays free to position the panel or manage the pulling setup. This is especially useful when working alone or in awkward positions under the vehicle.

Double Hook Adapter Connection

The Mity-Bite Large connects to pulling levers or chains via the double hook adapter (511310). The adapter slots between the two claws of the hook, providing a strong and reliable attachment point. This connection is quick to set up and compatible with standard pulling equipment on straightening benches and portable pulling systems.

Key Features

• 100 kN clamping force – heavy-duty grip for demanding structural and panel pulls.
• 55 mm jaw width – broad grip spreads pressure evenly and reduces panel deformation during heavy pulls.
• Automatic self-tightening cone – grip increases with pulling force for slip-free performance at full load.
• Recessed hexagonal clamping screw – locked within the clamp body for genuine one-handed clamping.
• Double hook compatible – connects to pulling levers or chains via the double hook adapter (511310).
• Steel construction – robust and built for daily professional use in collision repair.
• 160 mm body length – compact enough for most repair scenarios while delivering full pulling power.

Typical Applications

• Heavy panel pulling – grip wings, quarter panels, sills, and door skins for strong, controlled pulls on significant collision damage.
• Structural straightening – clamp onto structural members and reinforcements for pulls on straightening benches where high force is required.
• Flange and edge pulling – the 55 mm jaws grip wide flanges and folded panel edges securely for directional pulling.
• Chain pulling on benches – attach to pulling chains on straightening benches via the double hook for heavy structural corrections.
• Pulling lever work – connect to pulling levers for controlled, progressive force application on damaged panels.
• Sill and rocker panel repairs – grip sill sections firmly for lateral and downward pulls to correct side impact damage.

Technical Specifications

Choosing the Right Bite Clamp

Wielander & Schill offer a range of bite clamps for different access requirements and pulling demands. Here is how the Mity-Bite Large compares:

• Mini-Bite (511314) – 30 mm jaw width, 0.850 kg. Best for narrow, concealed spaces where access is severely limited.
• Mity-Bite Large (511312) – 55 mm jaw width, 100 kN, 2.500 kg. Best for heavy-duty pulls on broader panels and structural sections where maximum grip is needed.
• Corner Pull Clamp (511311) – 90° angular design. Best for pulling directly in corners and angular sections where straight clamps cannot reach.

For most workshops, having all three clamps covers virtually every pulling scenario — from tight concealed spaces to heavy structural work to angular corners.
