Read through these user instructions carefully before using the beam
clamp. Improper operation may lead to hazardous situations!
The POWERTEX beam clamp is designed for mounting on the lower
flange of an I-beam for suspending a load or lifting device. The beam
clamp is fixed in position with a right-hand and left-hand threaded rod
in a scissor construction.
Safety rules
• The beam on which the clamp is to be mounted must be checked
by a competent person. This person must assess the beam’s load
bearing capacity and fixings and its suitability for the purpose.
• Check the beam clamp before use for function and any cracking,
deformation or wear.
• Load on the beam clamp must not exceed the maximum load indi-
cated on the rating plate.
• The beam clamp must only be used for beams with a flange width
within the range indicated on the rating plate.
• The clamp must be fixed to the beam above the load’s centre of
gravity.
• Dynamic stresses must be avoided.
• Inclined pulls are not permitted.
• Working temperature: -10°C to +50°C.

Mounting
Open the beam clamp by unscrewing the threaded rod with the handle
sufficiently to allow the clamp to enclose the beam. Screw up the
beam clamp centrally over the load’s centre of gravity. Make sure the
arms on the beam clamp have a secure grip on the beam flange. (See
dimensioned drawing).
The load or suspension hook on the lifting device must hang centrally
from the bowed centre of the suspension bolt.
Continuous maintenance - lubrication
Bearings and threaded sections and the surface of the suspension bolt
in contact with the load hook must be cleaned and lubricated as ne
-
cessary. Periodic checks must normally be carried out yearly to detect
and remedy any faults. Damaged parts must be replaced with original
POWERTEX parts. A set of threaded rods and nuts can be ordered
through your dealer.
Contact your dealer for spare parts in general.
Replacing the threaded rod.
1 Open the beam clamp as far as it will go.
2 Knock the locking pin out of the handle.
3 Completely unscrew the threaded rod.
4 Remove the old nuts by pressing them out of the beam clamp’s
arms. Dismantle and clean the spacers.
5 Mount the new nuts together with the spacers.
6 Oil and screw the new threaded rod into the nuts. Make sure both
threads go in simultaneously.
7 Screw up until the handle can be mounted and lock with the locking
pin.
8 Continue screwing to the desired position.
