    Perpendicular Beam-to-Beam Clamps

    Image of Product. Bottom orientation. Beam Clamps. 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.

    B

    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.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
    Automatic Close and Manual Open—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.
    Style B—Style B can lift I-beams.
    Rigid—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.
