Beam Clamp
   BeamClamp™ is an engineered clamping system for securing structural steel. This product is used to connect structural members on site with no welding or drilling needed. You are assured of quick, safe, and secure connections for beams, channels or angles. BeamClamp products offer both cost and time savings over traditional connection methods.

The BeamClamp product line also features BoxBolt™, an expansion anchor for connecting structural steel. BeamClamp also provides easy floor fasteners. The Grating Clip secures steel grating and the Floorfix is used for raised pattern flooring.

The Grating Clip by BeamClamp is a cost effective method of securing steel grating to existing structural steel members. Clamping the grating eliminates costly welding and drilling.
No access below the grating is required, resulting in a quick and simple installation. Suits grating bar widths from 1-3/16'' to 1-5/8'' and grating bar depths up to 2'' deep to ensure fit for most standard grating.
Body: Mild steel strip to ASTM A366.
Finish: Spun galvanized to ASTM A153.

The Floorfix by BeamClamp is designed for positioning raised pattern floor plates without the need for welding or drilling of the supporting steelwork. The Floorfix can be installed by one person working from above and eliminates the need for access to the underside of the floor plate. Using simple hand tools, the floor plate can be secured quickly and easily and likewise removed or repositioned with equal ease.
Body: SG Iron to ASTM A536:Grade 65-45-12. Finish: Hot dip galvanized to ASTM A123/A123M.

BoxBolt is an expansion anchor for steel that can be used to make connections to structural tube sections. BoxBolt is suitable for use with rectangular, square and circular sections, or other types of steelwork where access is restricted to one side only. The shoulder of the BoxBolt is hexagonal. This allows it to be held in position with an open ended wrench while a torque wrench is used to tighten the core bolt. As the core bolt is tightened the threaded wedge is drawn up inside the body, the fins expand, and a secure connection is made. 5:1 Factor of Safety---Hot Dip Galvanized for corrosion protection---Available in zinc plate finish---Available in stainless steel---Large combined material clamping range

BeamClamp Type BK1 Adjustable Clamp
The Type BK1 is a self adjusting clamp consisting of two parts. The body has a spherical seat cast into it to allow a hemispherical washer to sit in and rotate. This allows the body to adjust to any clamping thickness while providing a flat surface for a nut or bolt to be tightened down onto it. This product is ideal for applications where the flange thickness cannot easily be measured or where the flange thickness may vary throughout a project. Due to its clamping action, it is also suitable for clamping tapered flanges and rails up to 15 degrees.

All sizes of BK1 have a wide back tail section to allow the clamp to bridge the gap of a slotted hole and also to connect to the open face of metal framing strut channel. The 5/16'', 3/8'' and 1/2'' products have an additional cut out in the tail to provide a tab that fits inside the open face of the strut.
