A rotatable load-handling clamp assembly has a rotation-stopping triggering assembly for automatically stopping clamp rotation at one or more predetermined stop positions. A hydraulic motor rotates a rotatable frame having clamp arms thereon with respect to a base. A hydraulic motor control system includes a switch and a set of triggering devices mounted in mutual opposition on the frame and base. The triggering devices are positioned to actuate the switch at the predetermined stop positions, and thereby automatically stop rotation of the hydraulic motor at such positions.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 16, 1998 and granted January 9, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 16, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 16, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
