TC17:

Using a single face clamp for carrying more than one roll (I'm assuming paper roll) simultaneously is considered an unsafe condition. One factor that determines lifting capacity of the paper roll clamp is the friction surface area of the clamp. Splitting the single clamp face between two rolls reduces the friction surface area per roll. This reduction could lead to a load slipping through the clamps with potential for damage/injury/death.

Split clamps should be used for carrying additional rolls. Each roll should have a clamp face fully engaged on the roll. The weight of the roll must not exceed the rated lifting capacity of the clamp attached to it. The total weight of the rolls being lifted cannot exceed the rated lifting capacity of the truck with attachment(s).

Many factors enter into recommended clamp placement. An excellent source of information are the Operator Guides published by Cascade (Cascorp) for their paper roll clamps (especially the Safety Rule and Roll Handling Basics sections of the guides).
