Abstract
The toe member of a low-profile toe clamp is advanced down an incline at the working end of the clamp by a pair of horizontal hydraulic pistons, one on each side of the hold-down slot of the clamp. The toe member is provided with transverse pins which are overridenly engaged by inclined faces on the pistons, so that the horizontal movement of the pistons is translated to the inclined movement of the toe member and so that a stopping action is provided by eventual engagement of the pistons with the toe member.
