BEAM CLAMPS
Beam clamps are devices that are used to lift or move heavy beams and other load-bearing structures. They are typically made of steel and can be attached to beams of various sizes and shapes. Beam clamps for lifting are designed to be used with a crane or other lifting device and can be used to safely move loads that weigh up to several tons. These clamps are often used in construction and heavy industrial applications.
How does a beam clamp work?
Beam clamps for lifting, in practical use, provide a movable connection between beams and a steel structure.
Using a scissor mechanism, the clamp is attached to the beam and tightened firmly to secure the load. The beam clamp is then secured to a lifting device, like a crane, sling or hoist, via a spool or lifting eye.
Operation is generally straightforward, but beam clamps must always be used by competent, trained individuals who know how to correctly engage the clamp and ensure the beam has enough supporting structure at all times.

How much weight will a beam clamp hold?
Beam clamps are typically used to lift or move heavy beams and other loads, making them a vital part of any lifting operation. But how much weight can a beam clamp actually hold? The answer depends on the specific beam clamp being used. Some models are designed for lighter loads, while others can handle much heavier weights. The size and type of clamp also play a role in how much weight it can support.
In general, beam clamps can hold anywhere from a few hundred kilograms to several tons. The exact amount of weight each clamp can support will be listed on the product specifications. When in doubt, it is always best to err on the side of caution and use a clamp that is rated for a higher weight capacity than what you anticipate lifting.
What is a beam clamp used for?
Beam clamps are an essential piece of equipment for many lifting and construction projects. They are used to attach a beam or other heavy object to a crane or other lifting device and can also be used to secure a beam in place during construction.
How do you attach a beam clamp?
Here’s a quick step-by-step guide on how to attach a beam clamp:
- Open the jaws wide enough to accommodate the beam flange.
- Once over the flange, use the lead screw to tighten the clamp to the beam.
- Ensure the flange is fitted properly inside the jaw mechanism before attaching lifting devices or loads.
Can you side-load a beam clamp?
Yes and no. There are beam clamps that can be side-loaded, and others that cannot.
