If two clamps are to be used in tandem the use of ancillary equipment may also be necessary, eg spreader beam. The clamp must be positioned directly over the centre of gravity of the load and the load must not be allowed to swing or impose an oblique loading. It must not cause localised overloading.Įnsure the lifting appliance is compatible with the clamp and that hooks or other attachments fit freely into the eye, shackle etc of the clamp. If any doubt exists consult a Competent Person to confirm suitability.Įnsure the clamp is suitable for the application, correct size and profile for the beam and seats correctly.

The safe use of beam clamps will largely be governed by the requirements for the lifting appliance with which it is to be used but should take the following matters into account:ĭo not use defective beam clamps, lifting appliances or accessories.Įnsure the structure from which the clamp is to be suspended is undamaged and is adequate for the full load that will be imposed. Where necessary fasteners should be reassembled immediately after removal from the beam.īeam clamps should not be dropped or thrown down.
They should be dry, clean and protected from corrosion. Never return damaged beam clamps to storage. The supplier should be consulted for such applications which are excluded from these instructions. Some designs are suitable for attachment to the load to provide a lifting point. NOTE: Beam clamps are generally intended for attachment to overhead beams to act as suspension points for liftingĪppliances. If application is temporary or permanent. Type of clamp - adjustable/non-adjustable - scissor, screw or bolt action.Ĭapacity and beam size or range of beam sizes. Select the beam clamp to be used and plan the lift taking the following into account: They may be adjustable or of fixed size, have scissor action, screw locking or bolt clamp fixing and be suitable for temporary or permanent applications.
Ensure the beam clamp is strong enough for the full load that will be imposed.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 supporting structure is adequate for the full load that will be imposed and suitable for the application.Inspect beam clamps and accessories before use and before placing into storage.Store and handle beam clamps correctly.Universal beam clamp, beam clamp, lifting beam clamp, tiger universal beam clamp, lifting equipment Model Warning: do not exceed working load limits or use this equipment for lifting flat plate sections.Complies with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.Lightweight design allowing for quick clamping and unclamping.Built-in suspension point for low headroom design.Fitted with an adjustable locking mechanism, ensuring secure clamping to the beam.It can be loaded at any angle and eliminates the use of spreader beams in various lifting operations.It has been designed not only for vertical use, but also for side load applications, where conventional clamps are not suitable.BCU type universal beam clamp is highly flexible in application and can be used for lifting, pulling or as a semi-permanent anchor point.H-Lift Universal Beam Clamp, BCU type features:
