A bale clamp comprises at least one actuator. The bale clamp also comprises at least two clamp members and at least one protruding portion extending from each clamp member. At least one of the protruding portions is configured such that, in use, it may be inserted into a bale. At least one of the clamp members can be caused by the actuator to move relatively towards the other clamp member(s) such that at least part of the bale can be secured between the protruding portions of the clamp members. Existing bale handling equipment can lack versatility and, for example, can require bales to be tied while handled. The presently described bale clamp may allow untied bales to be handled, whilst also allowing tied bales to be handled in the same manner as existing equipment.
