Instructions For The Safe Use of Beam Clamps
Using beam clamps safely
- Ensure that the beam clamp is of the correct capacity for the load being lifted and that the beam will not be damaged by localised overloading.
- Ensure that the clamp is fitted correctly over the centre of gravity of the item being lifted and will not be subjected to side loading.
- Before lifting a load, ensure that the clamp has been tightened and that the lifting appliance is fitted correctly into the eye of the clamp.
In-service inspection and maintenance
- Ensure that beam clamps are kept clean and moving parts are lubricated.
- Regularly inspect beam clamps for wear, damage, distortion, cracks or other defects likely to cause a danger.
- If any of the above defects are found, remove the beam clamp from service and report it to a competent person.
