Beam Clamp with Large Shackle BCL type

Name: Beam Clamp with Large Shackle BCL type
Brand: H-Lift Industries Co Ltd
SKU: 1503
Availability: InStock
Rating: 5 (1 reviews)

No.1503

The BCL Type Beam Clamp with Large Shackle is a specialized, robust lifting accessory designed to provide a secure attachment point on steel I-beams and girders for suspending heavy loads, slings, or hoists in rigging and construction environments.

Large Shackle Connection: Features an oversized connecting point specifically designed to easily accommodate larger slings, chains, wire ropes, and hoists.
Safe Side-Loading Capability: Engineered to handle oblique forces safely. The Working Load Limit (WLL) derates predictably: no reduction at vertical, 17% reduction at 15°, 34% reduction at 30°, and 50% reduction at 45°.
Heavy-Duty Durability: Manufactured from high-quality forged steel to ensure maximum strength and reliability, with models handling capacities from 1 tonne upward.
Versatile Rigging Solution: Creates a temporary, repositionable anchor point on beam flanges, eliminating the need for permanently welded or bolted lugs.

Technical Data
Safe Use of Beam Clamp

*Side Loading: Capable of handling angled loads up to 45° (see WLL reduction table).

Product Features

Large Shackle Opening: Designed with an oversized shackle to easily accommodate large crane hooks, heavy-duty wire rope slings, and synthetic slings that struggle to fit into standard clamp eyes.
Side Loading Capability: Unlike standard clamps restricted to vertical lifts, the BCL type is engineered to handle angled loads up to 45° from the vertical (with WLL reduction).
Heavy Duty Capacity: Available in capacities from 2 tonnes up to 15 tonnes, suitable for extreme industrial lifting applications.
Secure Gusseted Jaws: Reinforced jaws maximize contact area with the beam flange, ensuring a superior grip and reduced stress.
Wide Beam Compatibility: Adjustable threaded spindle fits I-beam and H-beam widths up to 610mm (on large models).

⚠️ Important Safety Info: Side Loading WLL Reduction

When loading at an angle, the Working Load Limit (WLL) must be reduced as per the table below:

Angle from Vertical	0° (Vertical)	0° to 15°	15° to 30°	30° to 45°
Reduction Factor	Nil (100% WLL)	17% Reduction	34% Reduction	50% Reduction
Example (10T Model)	10T	8.3T	6.6T	5.0T

What is a Beam Clamp?

A beam clamp is a lifting accessory designed to attach to the flange of a steel beam (I-beam or H-beam) to create a semi-permanent lifting point. It serves as an anchor for hoists, pulleys, or other lifting devices. Proper selection and use are critical to ensure the safety of the load and the integrity of the beam structure.

Safety Guidelines

Always

Store and handle beam clamps correctly in a clean, dry place.
Inspect beam clamps and accessories before every use.
Ensure the supporting structure (beam) is adequate for the full load imposed.
Check the clamp is the correct profile and size for the beam width and seats correctly on the flange.
Ensure the clamp is rated strong enough for the load.
Position the clamp directly over the center of gravity of the load.

Never

Use unidentified or uncertified clamps for lifting applications.
Replace bolts, shackles, or pins without consulting the supplier.
Throw or drop beam clamps.
Use clamps on damaged or distorted beams.
Force or wedge lifting hooks into the attachment eye/shackle.
Obliquely load beam clamps without authorization (side loading can cause slippage).

Selection & Operation Guide

Selecting the Correct Clamp

Beam clamps vary in capacity and design (adjustable/non-adjustable, scissor, screw, or bolt action). Consider:

Type of clamp mechanism.
Capacity relative to the load.
Beam flange width range.
Suitability for temporary vs. permanent application.

NOTE: Most beam clamps are intended for overhead suspension. Consult the supplier if attaching to the load itself.

Using Beam Clamps Safely

Ensure the lifting appliance (hoist) is compatible with the clamp. The load must not swing, as this imposes dangerous oblique loading. If using two clamps in tandem (e.g., with a spreader beam), ensure neither clamp exceeds its Safe Working Load (SWL).

In-service Inspection

Regularly clean and lubricate moving parts. Inspect for wear, distortion, cracks, insecure bolts, corrosion, or illegible markings. If defects are found, refer the clamp to a Competent Person immediately.
