Details

Beam Clamps are designed to be used as a temporary or permanent fixed position lifting point for overhead rigging without drilling or welding. Beam Clamps are designed also to reduce the I-beam flange stress by distributing loads away from the flange edges during overhead lifting applications.

Using beam clamps safely

• Ensure that the beam clamp is of correct capacity for the load being lifted and that the beam will not be damaged by localized overloading.
• Ensure that the clamp is fitted correctly over the center of gravity of the item being lifted and will not be subjected to side loading.
• Before lifting a load, ensure that the clamp has been tightened and that the lifting appliance is fitted correctly into the eye of the clamp.

In-service inspection and maintenance

• Ensure that beam clamps are kept clean and moving parts are lubricated.
• Regularly inspect beam clamps for wear, damage, distortion, cracks, and any defects likely to cause danger.
• If any of the above defects are found, remove the beam clamp from service and refer to a competent professional.
