Beam clamps are rigging devices used to attach lifting equipment to a structural beam or other overhead structures, providing a secure lifting point. They are often used in construction, industrial, and rigging applications where overhead support is required. Beam clamps are typically made of high-strength steel and can be adjusted to fit different beam sizes. They are designed to be simple to install and remove, making them an excellent choice for temporary or mobile lifting applications. These clamps meet safety standards such as ASME B30.20 and SASO 1300 to ensure they are safe and reliable for use in critical lifting operations.
