SCHAEFER SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL
LNA worked with Schaefer’s design team and supplied our Self Adjustable BK Type BeamClamp product allowing them to easily tie into the existing structure and maintain a clean manufacturing facility by eliminating the need for welding.

FEDEX DISTRIBUTION CENTER
FedEx facilities have long been specified with Lindapter GirderClamps to secure some of the steel members. Over the course of the past few years however, LNA Solutions worked with Western Industrial Contractors to design a new system using the BeamClamp that is both more structurally effective and cost efficient while providing superior service.

What are Beam Clamps?
BeamClamp® products are structural clamps designed to secure steel to steel connections without the need for onsite drilling or welding. All BeamClamp® products are available as single products or as full steel connection solutions. BeamClamp® assembly typically consists of BeamClamps, hardware, and/or location plates.

<h3 itemprop="name" style="margin:0 0 8px;">What are beam clamps used for?</h3>
<div itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<p itemprop="text" style="margin:0;">
Beam clamps are used to attach steel, threaded rod, fixtures, pipe supports, equipment supports, and other hardware to structural beams without drilling or welding. They are commonly used for steel-to-steel connections, overhead supports, retrofit work, and applications where modifying the existing beam is not practical.

<h3 itemprop="name" style="margin:0 0 8px;">Why use beam clamps instead of welding or drilling?</h3>
<div itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<p itemprop="text" style="margin:0;">
Beam clamps can reduce installation time and avoid many of the issues that come with field welding or drilling. They do not require hot work, they help preserve existing coatings or galvanizing, and they avoid weakening the steel with drilled holes. They are also adjustable during installation, which can be helpful when working with existing steel or field conditions that are not perfectly aligned.

<h3 itemprop="name" style="margin:0 0 8px;">Can beam clamps be used on sloped or tapered flanges?</h3>
<div itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<p itemprop="text" style="margin:0;">
Yes, certain BeamClamp products are designed for sloped or tapered beam flanges. The right option depends on the beam shape, flange thickness, connection angle, and load requirements. Tanner offers BeamClamp components for flat, sloped, and tapered steel conditions.

<div itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<p itemprop="text" style="margin:0;">
Packing pieces help adjust the clamp position for the thickness of the steel flange. They support the clamp so it can seat correctly and maintain the proper clamping range. They are often required when building a complete BeamClamp assembly.

<h3 itemprop="name" style="margin:0 0 8px;">Why are location plates used in BeamClamp assemblies?</h3>
<div itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<p itemprop="text" style="margin:0;">
A location plate helps position the clamps correctly against the steel members being connected. It also provides a reaction point for the clamp tail. In many steel-to-steel connections, the location plate is an important part of keeping the BeamClamp assembly aligned and properly supported.

<h3 itemprop="name" style="margin:0 0 8px;">Do beam clamps need to match the beam flange thickness exactly?</h3>
<div itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<p itemprop="text" style="margin:0;">
The clamp, tail length, and packing pieces should be selected so the clamp sits as close to the correct angle as possible against the flange. In many BeamClamp assemblies, packing pieces or shims are used to help match the clamp to the flange thickness and maintain proper contact.

<h3 itemprop="name" style="margin:0 0 8px;">Are beam clamps corrosion resistant?</h3>
<div itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<p itemprop="text" style="margin:0;">
Many BeamClamp components are available with protective finishes such as hot-dip galvanizing, but corrosion performance depends on the environment. Dry indoor steel conditions are very different from humid, chemical, coastal, or exterior environments. For harsh conditions, confirm the proper finish or material before ordering.

<div itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<p itemprop="text" style="margin:0;">
Start with the type of connection, beam shape, flange thickness, load requirement, and whether the flange is flat, sloped, or tapered. You may also need packing pieces, shims, bolts, nuts, or a location plate. If you are unsure which BeamClamp assembly is right for your job, Tanner can help you identify the correct components.
