Girder Threaded Rod Clamps

Hanger rods are attached to structures and objects with girder clamps (also known as beam clamps) that eliminate drilling or welding. Passing the rods (wires, cords, and cables) through the clamps contains adjustment pins with single or multiple threads. These clamps are strong and resistant to corrosion. They're mostly galvanized and made of materials like carbon or stainless steel and electrostatically finished. These clamps are designed to fit a wide range of applications and, in most cases, eliminate the need to drill structures on-site, lowering installation costs.

Types of Girder Clamps

• Weight-bearing capacity, multiple threads (openings), and hole diameters classify girder clamps.
• The standard clamp, plain, and geared beam trolley are the most common versions. Depending on what you need to do with it will likely impact the decision of which design you purchase.
• The position-fixing process is simple, consisting of a set of jaws that open and close using a threaded handle. The jaws are designed to fit around a beam and tighten to the beam, creating a stationary attachment point for lifting or suspending objects.
• The plain version is flexible, allowing you to move them freely along the beam. As a result, the load is easy to shift along the beam.
• Geared beam trolleys are comparable to the basic type above, including gears and a chain on the wheels. This allows the operator to transfer the load more precisely along the beam, making the procedure easier.

Safety Requirements for Girder Clamps

The following safety requirements should not be limited:

• Do not lift loads that exceed the clamp's Working Load Limit (WLL).
• Always check that the identification plate is clear and accessible.
• Do not pull ordinary girder clamps out of a plane from the side.
• Inspect the hinge points to ensure that they are secure and can move freely.
• Ensure the beam or structure to which the clamp is attached has enough WLL or strength to support the anticipated load.
• Look for symptoms of distortion, cracking, and excessive wear or corrosion in the beam clamp. Carefully inspect all attached hardware, including the hoists, for flaws.
• Always check that the clamp is secure, including any associated hardware, and that the safety catches are working properly.
• Please make sure the beam clamp is aligned with the payload's center of gravity to prevent it from swinging or being thrown.
• Always consult the manufacturer's user guide.

Applications of Girder Clamps

Girder threaded rod clamps have a variety of applications given as under:

• Girder threaded rods serve as anchor points for heavy loads being lifted or pulled onto trusses and beams. Permanent shackles are connected to some of these rods to provide safer fixing methods.
• They're used in the construction industry to attach large objects and equipment to I-beams, channels, and flange girders.
• They are usually applied in constructing bar hoists underneath a structure's roof.
• They're also employed to secure scaffolding to structural elements such as beams and columns.
• Beam Fixtures, wires, threaded rods, and other hardware are suspended or secured to beam flanges using girder clamps. 
• They include clamps for usage on pitched beams and secure fixing without the need for welding or drilling.

Conclusion

We provide a variety of steel-type girder threaded rod clamps designed for suspending and hoisting equipment with different weight ranges. However, you should be aware that there is a limit that should not exceed when lifting a load.
