A load-handling clamp mountable on a lift truck is capable of clamping a load between respective opposed clamp arms each capable of hydraulic movement selectively toward or away from each other. One of the clamp arms is preferably substantially incapable of movement toward the other clamp arm unless actuated independently of the other clamp arm. One of the clamp arms also preferably has a lesser maximum range of hydraulic movement than the other of the clamp arms and is hydraulically movable at a maximum hydraulic pressure greater than that of the other clamp arm.
