PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a clamping apparatus that eliminates a gap between the opposing ends of a belt-like material such as a rim before welding, that miniaturizes a transporting means to the next process, and that is free from deviation in the shape once formed, and also to provide manufacturing equipment having the clamping apparatus and the manufacturing method. SOLUTION: The clamping apparatus is equipped with a pair of clamping members 70 which are designed to clamp each end of a belt-like member 100 and which are symmetrical with each other. The clamping member is provided with a first and a second member 71, 72, which are movably structured so as to approach to and recede from each other and which are constituted adjustably in the width and thickness direction of the belt-like member. In addition, with the first and the second members close to each other, the pair of clamping members are designed to be movable in the direction of coming into contact with each other.
