Can you side load a beam trolley?

There is not a trolley on the market that is suitable for side-loading. Overloading the Trolley: Another common way to misuse this type of equipment would be to overload it.

How do I select Beam Trolley?

Be sure to check the width of the beam before making your beam clamp or beam trolley selection. Always take into consideration the load capacity of the beam and any other lifting devices used in your application. Never attach a beam clamp or trolley to a beam that is fixed at an angle.

Can you use beam clamps for lifting?

Beam clamps, also known as girder clamps, are used for lifting and suspending heavy items.

What is hoist beam?

Hoist beams provide an attachment point for lifting motors, an elevator car, rails, or other components during initial installation and later if required for equipment repairs. Elevator contractors provide a recommendation for beam capacity with their equipment submittals.

Are beam clamps safe?

Ensure that you have the right clamp for the job. All beam clamps have a different Working Load Limit (WLL) so if you are lifting a load that is 3.1 Tonnes you will need to purchase a 5 Tonne beam clamp. Localised Overloading is extremely dangerous, this could cause the beam clamp to break and cause accidents.

How does a beam clamp work?

Beam clamps are devices that clamp onto a structural steel beam for support, lifting, and rigging applications. They connect components to the structural steel without drilling or welding, which could change the integrity of the materials.

What is a crane beam?

Crane lifting beams are a type of below-the-hook device used to balance and support a load during an overhead lift. The main function of the device is to keep the lifting slings below the beam at, or close to, a 90° angle.

What is the difference between lift and hoist?

In simple terms, a hoist is a construction device that typically uses a pulley system to raise objects upward while a construction lift typically includes an aerial platform maintained by a specific form of extension and fitted on a vehicle.

Can you lift a beam with a beam clamp?

Beam clamps provide a simple and portable means of attaching a hoist to a runway or lifting beam.

Can you side pull a beam clamp?

Ensure that the beam or structure that the clamp is attaching to is of sufficient WLL or strength to handle the intended loading. Always make sure that the I.D. plate is legible and traceable. Do not side pull standard girder clamps out of plane.
