What is a universal beam clamp?

Universal Beam Clamps are a type of lifting equipment that is specially designed to distribute the load away from the flange edge of an I-Beam, thus reducing flange stress. Universal Beam Clamps are ideal for lifting, holding and positioning steel beams, such as RSJ, for construction.

How much weight will an I beam support?

When used with the Jervis Webb 10711 hand push I-beam trolley, this S4 x 7.7 beam can support a weight of 1,500 pounds when supported at 8 foot centers. When using 10 foot or longer spans, be sure to support the beam or track at closer centers or reduce the load.

What is the use of beam clamp?

NOTE: Beam clamps are generally intended for attachment to overhead beams to act as suspension points for lifting appliances. Some designs are suitable for attachment to the load to provide a lifting point.

Can beam clamps be used for lifting?

20 Lifting Device the Tandemloc Beam Clamp is suitable for lifting and moving I shaped structural members and fabrications. Using a Tandemloc Beam Clamp as a temporary attachment point for manual or powered hook-suspended hoists is limited to vertical (90°) lifting.

What are beam clamps?

Beam Clamps or girder clamps are used to suspend or secure fixtures, wires, threaded rod and other hardware to beam flanges. They offer secure fixing without the need for welding and drilling, as well as clamps suitable for use on pitched beams.

How do you hang an I beam?

Instructions

  1. Center your ladder under your I-beam.
  2. Take your first carabiner and clip it onto the I-beam bag hanger.
  3. Secure your first gymnastic ring strap to the carabiner hanging from your heavy duty bag hanger.
  4. Repeat the same process with your second heavy duty bag hanger, carabiner, and gymnastic ring strap.

When to use two clamps on a beam?

The clamp must be positioned directly over he centre of gravity t of the load and the load must not be allowed to swing or impose an oblique loading. If two clamps are to be used in tandem the use of ancillary equipment may also be necessary, eg spreader beam. Care must be taken to ensure mp takes more than its no one cla SWL.

How to use a beam clamp safely-safetyliftingear?

Do not force safety hooks into the eye of your beam clamp as this could damage your beam clamp and accessories. Ensure that the beam is positioned over the centre of gravity of the hoisted load. And ensure that the load is not swinging or at an angle to the beam clamp.

What can a tiger beam clamp be used for?

The Tiger Universal Beam Clamp Model No BCU has been designed not only for vertical use, but also for side load applications, where conventional clamps are not suitable. This clamp is highly flexible in application and can be used for lifting, pulling or as a semi-permanent anchor point.

Can a beam be fixed at an angle?

Always take into consideration the load capacity of the beam and any other lifting devices used in your application. Never attach a beam clamp or trolley to a beam that is fixed at an angle. beam clamps, plain beam trolleys, and geared beam trolleys .

Can beam clamps be side loaded?

The capacity indicated on the beam clamp is the maximum Safe Working Load (SWL) which must not be exceeded. Do not use the clamp for the transportation of people. Avoid side pull, i.e.: side load on either clevis load bar or side plates. Welding on beam clamp is strictly forbidden.

What is the beam clamp used for?

This temporary fixing solution, which are also known as girder clamps, is used to suspend or secure fixtures, wires, threaded rods, and other hardware. It provides a simple and portable means of attaching a hoist to a runway or lifting beam.

How do you attach a clamp to a beam?

Open the jaws of the clamp, so that they are wide enough to fit over the beam flange. Once the jaws of the clamp have fit over the beam flange, use the screw handle to tighten the clamp firmly onto the beam. Be sure that the beam flange is seated properly within the jaws before attaching any type of lifting devices or loads to the clamp.

How to check a beam clamp for safety?

• Check the clamp is of the correct profile and size, or correctly adjusted, for the beam width and that it seats correctly on the beam flange. • Ensure the beam clamp is strong enough for the full load that will be imposed. • Check that the clamp is directly over the centre of gravity of the load. NEVER:

What are the jaws of a beam clamp?

Beam clamps are fairly simple in design. They are composed of a set of jaws that open and close by the operation of a threaded handle. The jaws are designed to fit around and onto the flange of a beam. Once tightened to the beam, it will serve as a stationary attachment point for lifting or suspending devices.

Can a beam clamp break on a hoist?

Localised Overloading is extremely dangerous, this could cause the beam clamp to break and cause accidents. Make sure the beam clamp that you are using is compatible with the hoist that you are using. By this we mean, making sure that the safety hook fits correctly into the eye of the beam clamp.
