Suitable for semi-permanent attachment to steel beams and acts as a lifting point for chain blocks, hoists and lifting tackle. The clamp may also be used for lifting and transfer of steel beams and as a pulling clamp. Low profile afforded by integral pivot/lifting point. Model No. BC2000. Weight 4.55kg. Adjustable Beam Width: 75-220mm. Capacity: 2000kg. Dimensions: (A) - 230mm, (B) - 180-360mm, (C) - 74mm, (D) - 6mm, (E) - 215mm, (F) - 102-155mm, (G) - 25mm, (H) - Ø22mm. Nett Weight: 4.35kg. Refer to catalogue for diagram.
This Sealey Beam Clamp (Model No. BC2000) is designed for professionals needing a secure lifting point on steel beams. Its key benefit is providing a versatile attachment for chain blocks, hoists, or lifting tackle, with a low-profile design for constrained spaces. A potential caveat is the need for careful consideration of beam width limitations during setup.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the maximum weight capacity of the Sealey BC2000?
The Sealey Beam Clamp BC2000 has a maximum weight capacity of 2 tonnes (2000kg).
What is the adjustable beam width range?
The clamp can be adjusted to fit steel beams with a width ranging from 75mm to 220mm.
Can this clamp be used for horizontal lifting?
This clamp is designed primarily for vertical lifting attachment points or for lifting/pulling steel beams themselves, not for suspending loads horizontally from a beam.
What is the weight of the beam clamp?
The net weight of the Sealey BC2000 beam clamp is 4.35kg.
What type of lifting tackle can be attached?
Standard chain blocks, hoists, and lifting tackle can be attached to the integral lifting point, which has a diameter of Ø22mm.
How do I ensure the clamp is fitted correctly?
Ensure the clamp is positioned on a suitable beam within the adjustable width range and tightened securely. The jaws should make firm contact with the beam flanges. Regular inspection after fitting is recommended.
Is this clamp suitable for permanent installation?
The description mentions 'semi-permanent attachment,' suggesting it is intended for repeated use over time but can be removed and repositioned. It is not designed for permanent structural integration.
Troubleshooting
Clamp slips on the beam
Ensure the beam is within the specified width range. Tighten the clamp mechanism more firmly. Inspect the beam and clamp jaws for any debris or damage that could prevent a secure grip.
Difficulty adjusting beam width
Clean any dirt or debris from the adjustment mechanism. Lubricate the threaded rod if necessary. Ensure the clamp is not fully loaded while adjusting.
Lifting point appears damaged
Immediately cease use and thoroughly inspect the lifting point for cracks, deformation, or excessive wear. Do not use if any damage is apparent; contact the manufacturer or a qualified inspector.
Rust or corrosion visible
Clean the affected area with a wire brush. Apply a rust inhibitor or lubricant to protect the metal. For significant corrosion, consult a professional for assessment.
Pros and Cons
Pros
High weight capacity (2000kg).
Wide adjustability for different beam sizes.
Multi-functional use cases.
Robust build quality.
Low-profile design conserves headroom.
Cons
Requires appropriate steel beam for attachment.
Maximum beam width limitation (220mm).
Weight of the clamp itself is 4.35kg, adding to the load considerations.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Inspect Beam: Ensure the steel beam is suitable for clamping and can support the intended load. Check for any damage or obstructions.
Adjust Width: Loosen the clamp mechanism and adjust the opening to match the width of the steel beam (75mm - 220mm).
Position Clamp: Place the clamp onto the beam, ensuring it is centered and securely positioned.
Tighten Securely: Tighten the clamp mechanism evenly until it is firmly gripped onto the beam. Do not overtighten, but ensure there is no slippage.
Attach Lifting Gear: Connect your chain block, hoist, or lifting tackle to the integral lifting point (Ø22mm).
Compatibility:
Compatible with standard I-beams and H-beams within the specified width range of 75mm to 220mm.
Suitable for use with standard chain blocks, hoists, and lifting slings.
Care:
Cleaning: After use, clean the clamp with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
Inspection: Regularly inspect the clamp for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion, particularly on the jaws and tightening mechanism.
Lubrication: Periodically lubricate the threaded tightening mechanism to ensure smooth operation.
Storage: Store in a dry environment when not in use to prevent rust and corrosion.
