24″ Mega-Beam Clamp, 2 Ton, Black

Description

The Mega-Beam Clamp is a low profile sliding jaw design that allows you to secure your load as close to the I-Beam as possible. The 24″ model has a 2 ton rating. The two aircraft aluminum jaws are adjusted on the 3/4″-6″ tip Acme threaded shaft. The spring loaded handle locks after adjustment. Aluminum construction is half the weight of steel units and has a wider gripping range.

Fastens from 2 inch to 24 inch wide I-Beam flanges up to 1″ thick. Center hole is 1-1/2″

Optional Mega-Beam Clamp jaws can be added to any size Mega-Beam Clamp to fit up to 2″ thick beam flanges. Part # MBC2INCHJAWS

Key Features Of 24″ Mega Beam Clamp

• 2 ton rated capacity – this beam clamp is built to safely hold up to 2 tons, suited for hanging trussing, motors, or rigging points from steel I-beams.
• Wide flange range – the mega beam clamp fastens to I-beam flanges from 2 in. to 24 in. wide, up to 1 in. thick, covering most venue and warehouse steel.
• Low-profile sliding jaw design – keeps your load positioned close to the beam, reducing swing and unwanted leverage on the structure.
• Lightweight aluminum construction – the jaws are aircraft aluminum, cutting the weight roughly in half compared to a steel beam clamp of the same rating.
• Spring-loaded locking handle – locks the jaws in place automatically once adjusted, so the clamp won’t loosen or shift under load.
• 1-1/2″ center hole – standard sizing for attaching shackles, hooks, or other common rigging hardware.
• Expandable jaw capacity – optional wider jaws (Part # MBC2INCHJAWS) can be added to this beam clamp to fit flanges up to 2 in. thick.

How To Use The 24″ Mega Beam Clamp

1. Confirm the beam and load fit the rating. Check that your I-beam flange falls within the 2 in. to 24 in. width range and doesn’t exceed 1 in. thick (or 2 in. with the optional jaws), and that your load stays within the 2 ton limit.
2. Open the jaws. Turn the Acme threaded shaft to widen the sliding jaws enough to fit over the I-beam flange.
3. Position the clamp on the beam. Slide the mega beam clamp into place so the jaws sit flush against both sides of the flange, positioning your load point as close to the beam as the design allows.
4. Tighten and lock. Turn the shaft to close the jaws snugly against the flange, then let the spring-loaded handle lock the clamp in position.
5. Attach your rigging hardware. Use the 1-1/2″ center hole to connect a shackle, hook, or other rigging component to the beam clamp before adding your load.
6. Inspect before each use. Since this beam clamp gets reused across hangs, check the jaws, threaded shaft, and locking handle for wear or damage every time before trusting it with a new load.
