My table has a 4.5" lip, can the clamps go wide enough to get past it?

You may be able to, my mother-in-law's table had a lip about 4" and we were able to angle the chair/clamps to get past the lip and secure to the actual table and it was fine.

The clamps will open fully about 3 1/4 inches. If your overhang is about 4 inches before the lip you would be fine.

Our rail is 3.5" and they fit snugly. Anything narrower would be loose. If you could think of a way to widen the rail with a 2 x 4 it might work.

"C" clamps should work well. There is a side lip to get under to clamp from above and below table's surface.

Sorry for the delay. I do not think it will work. The clamp only opens to about 4". Clamping on 3/4" is no problem. If you can't find anything else that will work, you could consider cutting a notch in the front lip just large enough to allow the clamp. However, do you have to clamp from the front? Is it possible to clamp from the back?

The width of the base piece is 3 5/8". The maximum width that that clamp can open is 4". I hope I answered your question appropriately. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thank you, Taylor W. VIVO

For a secure fit you can get by if the flat U shaped underside clamp plate is fully underneath and that's 1.75"w by 4" long. If your desk lip underside is only 1.75" you'll have a little difficulty turning the knob to tighten it but I was able to get it done.

It looks like you need at least 2 inches. It is very adjustable to table thickness but not depth. The two clamp rods have disks at their ends that are just under 2 inches wide. You could try cutting a small hole in the side of the desk and sliding the clamp in?

I think they will. I meant to check them out last night but forgot. I believe my shelves are 3/4" and that there is still room for the clamp to expand.

If your desk has any backing that is less than 2.5" from the lip, this clamp will not fit. The bottom of the clamp extends 2.5" inward. I had to remove the backing from a desk in order to install this mount.

The center of the clamp screw on the bottom is about 1 1/2" in from the inside of the back of the clamp. The top post starts 1" in from the edge of the back of the clamp. If you have a beveled edge, you might consider a sturdy piece of wood on top of the table to clamp the stand to should keep it from wobbling. The total depth of the clamp is 3 3/4". The height can be adjust quite a bit, so thickness shouldn't be an issue. Hope that helps.

If the back handles of the clamps are inserted to the table the max is 10". Otherwise, it is possible to utilize 12" when not inserted fully.

I'm assuming you mean the table top is one inch thick - if yes then yes the "chop clip" style clamp will open that wide... I love this tray btw!!!

As the owner of one of these mounts, the answer is "Yes, the mount will clamp on a 2" thick table."

I have three of them for my pontoon boat which has 1" wide rails. The clamp at it's maximum opening is 1 3/4" inch. Hope that helps.

Hello Raymond,I would recommend at least 2" to secure the clamp.Thank you for your question.Taylor W.VIVO

When locked together the clamps is 4 inches long. I would assume 4 inches is the minimum this piece could clamp.

They should work fine. It's not the length of the table that matters. It's how thick the tabletop is. These clamps will fit up to a 1-3/4" thick tabletop.
