FIELD: transport.
SUBSTANCE: claimed is the set of inventions: clamp for stacker tower, stacker and method of stacking with the help of stacking ship. Clamp 9, 10 comprises support frame 12, 14 and at least two clamps 13 arranged for simultaneous gripping and releasing of long element 2. Every said clamp 13 has at least two opposed clamping device 15 and self-adjusting mechanisms 19, each being arranged between appropriate clamping device 15 and frame 12, 14. Said stacker comprises stacker tower 4, first and second clamps 9, 10 connected with said tower. Method of stacking consists in clamping of long element 2 by clamp 9, 10 sliding along stacker tower 4 and performing correction motion in direction parallel with axis A of clamp 10 relative to clamp 9 at simultaneous grip of continuous long element 2 by clamps 9, 10.
EFFECT: reliable retention of long elements without slip.
