Product Information

Full details

The Draper Expert Beam Clamp (2 Tonne) is designed for professionals needing a secure, semi-permanent lifting point on steel RSJ beams. Its key benefit is providing a reliable anchor for chain blocks, hoists, and other lifting tackle, or for moving steel beams themselves. A potential limitation to consider is its specific application to RSJ beams only. This clamp offers versatility as both a lifting point and a pulling clamp, backed by a test certificate for assured performance.

FAQs

What is the weight capacity of this beam clamp?

The Draper Expert Beam Clamp has a maximum working load limit of 2 Tonne (2000kg).

Can this clamp be used on any type of steel beam?

No, this clamp is specifically designed for use on steel RSJ (Rolled Steel Joist) beams. It may not be compatible with other beam profiles like UB or UC.

What is the purpose of the test certificate?

The test certificate confirms that the beam clamp has undergone rigorous testing to meet specific safety and performance standards for its rated load capacity.

How should I attach lifting tackle to the clamp?

Attach your chain block, hoist, or other lifting tackle securely to the integrated lifting eye on the clamp, ensuring the connection is appropriate for the load.

Is this clamp suitable for permanent installations?

No, this clamp is designed for semi-permanent attachment, meaning it is intended to be attached and removed as needed for specific lifting operations, not for permanent fixture.

What are the packed dimensions and weight?

The clamp is carton packed with dimensions of 43.20cm x 18.20cm x 11.00cm and weighs approximately 5.12kg.

Troubleshooting

Clamp slips on the beam

Ensure the beam flange is clean and dry. Tighten the main screw mechanism further, ensuring even pressure. Verify the clamp is correctly sized for the beam.

Difficulty tightening the screw

Check for any debris or obstructions in the screw threads. Clean and lubricate the screw mechanism. Ensure the clamp is not being overtightened beyond its designed capacity.

Visible wear or damage

Immediately cease use. Inspect for cracks, bending, or excessive wear on the jaws or screw. Contact the manufacturer or a qualified professional for assessment or replacement.

Corrosion on the clamp

Gently clean the affected area with a wire brush. Apply a rust inhibitor or a suitable protective coating. Avoid abrasive cleaning that could damage the metal. If corrosion is deep, it may compromise safety.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a secure and reliable lifting point on RSJ beams.
  • Versatile use as a lifting, pulling, or transfer clamp.
  • Comes with a test certificate for assurance of quality and safety.
  • Durable construction suitable for professional use.
  • Easy to attach and remove for semi-permanent applications.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for use on steel RSJ beams only.
  • Requires appropriate training and adherence to safety regulations for operation.
  • Weight of 5.12kg may require careful handling during setup.
  • Not suitable for permanent fixture applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the clamp is compatible with the dimensions of the steel RSJ beam.
  2. Position the clamp onto the flange of the RSJ beam at the desired location.
  3. Tighten the main screw mechanism evenly to secure the clamp firmly to the beam. Ensure it is snug and does not slip.
  4. Attach your lifting equipment (chain block, hoist, etc.) to the designated lifting eye.

Compatibility:

  • This clamp is specifically designed for use with steel RSJ (Rolled Steel Joist) beams.
  • Ensure the beam's flange width and thickness are within the clamp's operational range (refer to manufacturer specifications if available).
  • Not compatible with universal beams (UB) or universal columns (UC) unless dimensions precisely match RSJ specifications.

Care:

  • Inspect the clamp regularly for any signs of wear, damage, or distortion before each use.
  • Keep the clamp clean and free from dirt, grease, and rust. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
  • Store the clamp in a dry environment when not in use to prevent corrosion.
  • Lubricate moving parts, such as the screw mechanism, periodically with a suitable industrial lubricant.
