An Ultimate Guide To Beam Clamps

Beam clamps are a common type of lifting device, and can be used to secure a beam in place. To be effective, they need to be designed to provide sufficient bulk strength between the two support structures. They must also have sufficient strength to prevent sideways slippage. Typically, beam clamps are used for general-purpose lifting applications, such as pulling equipment, holding items, or tensioning loads. Here, we will talk about the different types and safety considerations of beam clamp lifting.

Common types:

Beam clamps have a variety of uses and functions. They are used to secure beams and other structures that must be lifted, tensioned and held in place. Typically, beam clamps have a range of load ratings, from 2 to 15 tons. They can fit a wide variety of beam widths, from 76mm to 610mm. A common design of a beam clamp includes a shackle at the bottom, which allows you to adjust the clamping force.

Typical beam clamps are made of steel, and some are made to accommodate special materials. Some beam clamps are made from a special alloy that makes them resistant to corrosion.

Safety considerations:

Before using a beam clamp, it’s important to know the safety rules and make sure the clamp fits the type of hoist you are using. If you have any doubts, contact your supervisor or manager. When using a beam clamp, make sure you place it over the center of gravity of the load that you intend to lift. This prevents localized overloading, which can lead to a breakdown or accident.

Another safety consideration is to always follow the correct bolt installation instructions and not install new bolts without consulting your supplier. This is because incorrect bolt installation can cause an accident and damage the clamp.

Available in different capacities:

Beam clamps are used to connect the Unistrut channel to structural beam supports. They are available in different capacities and can accommodate six-ton loads. This type of connection is common in many industries and requires no welding or drilling. You can also use several beam clamp units at different points.

They come in a wide variety of sizes:

Beam clamps come in a wide variety of sizes and are available in many different brands. They are manufactured from different materials, and they come in different colors. Some clamps are made from steel while others are made from cast iron. Some of these clamps can be used for high-voltage electrical connections, low-voltage data communications, HVAC systems, and plumbing.
