Beam Clamps for Hooks and Hangers
Clamp to both sides of a beam to add an anchor point for hoists and other overhead equipment.
Style A clamps fit in low-headroom areas. Two bolts with spacers grip each side of the beam. Note: Capacity applies only to vertical loads.
Style B clamps have a T-handle for quick and easy attachment and removal. To use, attach hooks to the mounting bar at the bottom of the clamp. Note: Capacity applies only to vertical loads.
Style C clamps have a T-handle for quick and easy attachment and removal. Note: Capacity applies only to vertical loads.
Style D clamps grip the sides and center of the beam for securely hanging equipment such as chain hoists and slings. They have a T-handle for quick and easy attachment and removal. Note: Capacity applies to loads 0° to 90° from vertical.

Perpendicular Beam-to-Beam Clamps
Add a crossbeam for hanging lifting equipment, creating overhead conveyor systems, and supporting structural applications—no drilling or welding required. Clamps grip the flanges of two beams for a secure connection at a variety of angles. Clamps are zinc-plated steel for good corrosion resistance.

Beam-Lifting Tongs
Apply tension to the lifting eye and the scissor-action grip firmly grabs flat and tapered beams. As the tongs lift, the grip increases.
Warning: Never use to lift items over people.

Vertical-Lift with 180° Flip Plate-Lifting Clamps
Take the strain out of manually standing up stacked plates before lifting them—these clamps have a full 180° range of motion. They can raise the plate from stacked to standing, then lift it vertically, so you can move the plate where you need it. When you're ready to put the plate down again, they can place it on its opposite side.
To make sure the grip is secure for safe lifting, only use these clamps within their weight capacity range.
Automatic close and manual open are quick and easy to use because they don’t have a locking mechanism, but they are less secure than clamps with a lock. These clamps close under their own weight—as the load increases, so does the grip. To open, first set your plate down. Then, press down on the shackle until the cam retracts and remove the plate.
Rigid clamps lift vertical plates straight up and down but lose their grip when angled. Make sure your plate is fully vertical, and the bottom edge is resting on the ground, before lifting.
Style B can also lift I-beams. Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
