Lift Attachments

Vertical-Lift with 180° Flip Plate-Lifting Clamps

Nonmarring Vertical-Lift with
180° Flip Plate-Lifting Clamps

Pads on these clamps prevent the grip from biting into the load.

Vertical-Lift Plate-Lifting Clamps

Use these clamps to raise a metal plate straight up from its original vertical position.

Nonmarring Vertical-Lift Plate-Lifting Clamps

Pads on these clamps prevent the grip from biting into the load.

Horizontal-Lift Plate-Lifting Clamps

Use in pairs with a two-leg sling to transfer metal plates in a horizontal position. Unlike other plate-lifting clamps, these can pick up multiple plates at the same time.

Vertical-Lift with 90° Tilt Plate-Lifting Clamps

Clamps can take a metal plate that is stacked horizontally and tilt it up 90° to lift vertically. After lifting, clamps can place the plate back down in the original position (plate can not be flipped over).

Beam-Lifting Tongs

These tongs firmly grab flat and tapered beams.

Long-Arm Lifting Tongs

Also known as die-lifting tongs, use these tongs to lift tall objects and reach into machinery.

Hand-Held Vertical-Lift Plate-Lifting Clamps

Lift metal plates by hand by gripping the edge.

Beam Clamps

Beam Clamps for Hooks and Hangers

Clamp to both sides of a beam to add an anchor point for hoists and other overhead equipment.

Perpendicular Beam-to-Beam Clamps

Add a crossbeam for hanging lifting equipment, creating overhead conveyor systems, and supporting structural applications.

Parallel Beam-to-Beam Clamps

Join two beams in a straight line.

Beam Clamps for Threaded Rod

Attach these clamps to the flange of an beam, then hang a threaded rod from the threaded hole.

Sloped Beam Clamps for Threaded Rod

These clamps rotate 360° and pivot 45° to ensure the rod hangs straight, even on sloped beams.

Angled Beam Clamps for Threaded Rod

Also known as purlin clamps, these clamps are shaped to fit around beams that have a 45° or 90° lip.

Press-Fit Beam Clamps for Threaded Rod

A toothed clip secures these clamps to the beam—no fasteners required.

Center-Mount Beam Clamps for Threaded Rod

For centered load distribution, these clamps grip both sides of the beam and hang threaded rod from the middle.

Angle Iron Clamps for Threaded Rod

A secure way to hang threaded rod from a pair of angles, such as those used in ceiling joists, without the need to drill or weld. These clamps are commonly used to suspend HVAC, conveyor, and other overhead systems.

Easy-Position Beam Clamps
for Pipe, Tube, and Conduit

Suspend material at any angle from the beam. Clamps have a fixed jaw that secures to the beam and a hanger that swivels 360° to position material and accommodate for misalignment.

Beam Clamps for Pipe, Tube, and Conduit

These clamps have a fixed hanger for rigid connections.

Beam Clamps for Strut Channel

Support strut channel at a right angle to the beam.

Beam Clamps with Tie Wire Hanger

Attach these light duty hangers to beams and other structural elements. They include a stiff wire for supporting ceilings, lighting fixtures, and other lightweight material.
