Beam Clamps

Beam clamps are designed to provide steel-to-steel connections between structural beams, eliminating the requirement for drilling, welding or other attachment techniques. Used across construction, electrical installation and heavy industry, beam clamps offer a fast, reliable method of attaching pipework, conduit, cable trays and rigging equipment to structural steelwork.

RS Australia stocks a wide range of beam clamps from leading brands like nVent CADDY, Unistrut and our own RS PRO. You can find I-beam clamps, structural beam clamps, universal beam clamps, stainless steel beam clamps and electrical beam clamps in our catalogue.

Key Uses of Beam Clamps

• Secure Structural Attachment: Clamps onto I-beams, universal beams and steel beams without drilling or welding, saving time and preserving structural integrity.
• Cable and Pipe Suspension: I-beam clamps for hanging pipework, cable trays and electrical conduit from structural steelwork in commercial and industrial buildings.
• Versatile Compatibility: Universal beam clamps and angle beam clamps fit a wide range of flange widths and beam profiles.
• Safe Load Transfer: Structural beam clamps and beam lifting clamps rated for heavy-duty load bearing in industrial and construction environments.

Beam clamps can be made from carbon steel, stainless steel, malleable iron and forged steel, and are available in configurations suited to structural support, lifting, electrical installation and corrosive environments.

Universal Beam Clamps

Universal beam clamps are designed to accommodate hook-mounted hoist or load block loads and are ideal for lifting, holding and positioning steel beams for construction. These beam clamps have adjustable jaws which are clamped around the beam and secured using a central threaded spindle. A locking device ensures a secure and safe connection. The design of universal beam clamps helps reduce flange stress by applying the load inside of the flange edge. The wide jaws enable them to fit a wide range of flange widths and beams.

C-Channel Beam Clamps

C-clamp beam clamps consist of a robust C-shaped metal bracket with a metal set screw running down the centre. The bracket is fitted around the beam and secured by tightening a set-screw or lock nut between the jaw base and the beam flange.

C-clamps are available in a range of sizes and can be attached to the top or bottom of metal beams, purlins, channel or angle iron. C-channel beam clamps are well suited to industrial racking, support systems and construction site applications where performance and positional flexibility are required.

Stainless Steel Beam Clamps

Stainless steel beam clamps are constructed for use in corrosive, outdoor and washdown environments where standard carbon steel would degrade over time. Their corrosion-resistant construction makes them the preferred choice for mining, coastal construction, chemical plant installations and any application where long-term durability in harsh conditions is a priority.

How to Choose the Right Beam Clamp

• Beam type and flange width: Match the clamp to the beam profile, whether that is I-beam, universal beam or C-channel, and confirm flange thickness compatibility before ordering.
• Load capacity: Select structural beam clamps or beam lifting clamps rated to the required safe working load (SWL/WLL) for the application.
• Material: Choose stainless steel beam clamps for corrosive or outdoor environments and standard steel beam clamps for indoor structural use.
• Application type: Choose electrical beam clamps for cable and conduit runs, angle beam clamps for perpendicular attachment and I-beam clamps for hanging threaded rods or pipework.
• Compliance: Ensure clamps meet relevant Australian standards for structural and lifting applications.

Common Industry Applications

• Construction and Structural Engineering: Securing pipe hangers, cable trays and supports to I-beams and structural steelwork on commercial and industrial builds.
• Electrical and Data Installations: Electrical beam clamps and I-beam clamps for hanging conduit, cable ladder and trunking from structural beams.
• HVAC and Plumbing: Attaching ductwork, pipework and services to universal beams and C-channel profiles in mechanical plant rooms.
• Manufacturing and Heavy Industry: Beam lifting clamps for safely moving and positioning steel beams during fabrication and assembly.
• Mining and Resources: Stainless steel beam clamps and angle beam clamps in harsh or corrosive environments.
• Infrastructure and Civil Projects: C-channel beam clamps and structural beam clamps for support systems in bridges, tunnels and industrial facilities.
