Beam clamps, also known as girder clamps, are primarily used for suspending and securing objects like hoists and pipes to steel beams and other overhead structures in industrial settings. Beam clamps are typically made of durable steel and feature a clamping mechanism (either screw-based or spring-loaded) that grips the flange of a beam securely.
This blog will provide a breakdown of the pivotal role beam clamps play in construction and industrial settings – let’s dive in!
Lifting and Rigging
Beam clamps are designed to securely attach to the flanges of steel beams, creating a temporary lifting point for heavy loads like hoists, pulleys and other materials. This lifting point is essential for safely raising and lowering materials overhead in industrial settings.
The temporary and non-destructive nature of these clamps also makes them ideal for use in movable installations such as scaffolding supports, event rigging and temporary lighting.
Secure Attachment
Another benefit of beam clamps is that they can be used to securely attach various items to beams without needing to permanently modify any structures. These items can include electrical boxes and fixtures, cameras and surveillance equipment, robotic arms and machinery, cables and a wide range of other hardware.
Beam clamps also prevent objects from moving while they are being repaired or supported, eliminating the need for drilling, welding or other attachment techniques.
So, beam clamps may not be the most glamourous tool on the job site, but they are definitely a versatile and essential piece of kit for a wide range of construction tasks.
