Empire 150G0108 Center Beam Clamp 1000 Lb 8 in Flange

Product Description

The EMPIRE 150G0108 is a center beam clamp designed for overhead lifting and rigging applications. It attaches directly to the bottom flange of a structural I-beam or wide-flange beam, providing a secure anchor point for hoists, chain falls, trolleys, or lifting blocks. Constructed from carbon steel, this clamp carries a rated load capacity of 1,000 pounds. It accommodates beam flanges up to 8 inches wide. Installation requires no welding or drilling into the beam, making it a preferred choice for temporary or permanent rigging setups in industrial and commercial environments.

This center beam clamp is suited for use in manufacturing facilities, warehouses, construction sites, and mechanical rooms where a portable or semi-permanent lifting point is needed on an existing structural beam. Typical users include millwrights, ironworkers, and maintenance mechanics who need to position a hoist or block-and-tackle along a beam without modifying the structure. The clamp is sold individually.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use center beam clamp suitable for I-beams and wide-flange structural beams with a maximum flange width of 8 inches and overhead load requirements up to 1,000 pounds.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified millwright, ironworker, or rigging professional. Before installing, verify the structural beam is rated to support the intended load, including dynamic and shock loads that may exceed the static weight being lifted. Inspect the clamp for cracks, deformation, or thread damage before each use, and never exceed the rated working load limit. Follow applicable ASME B30 rigging standards and site-specific safety protocols when using overhead lifting equipment.
