The range
of quality beam attachments you will find on this page includes a collection of
beam clamps for lifting and a wide array of RSJ beam trolley options including our own Lifting Gear Direct models for the lowest prices. You can use a beam clamp for static positioning
or a beam trolley for moving loads across the beam. Trolleys come in three
varieties; Push travel trolley, geared trolley, or electric trolley, each having
its own set of properties and benefits. So consider your options and choose
the best beam attachment to suit your lifting operation, then order online or
give us a call on 01384 76961.
Beam attachments for lifting applications typically come in two forms - beam clamps and beam trolleys. The main purpose of a beam clamp or trolley is to provide a strong and secure anchor point from which to attach other forms of lifting gear, like hoists, for example. Beam clamps, girder clamps, and beam trolleys are designed to fit onto a flanged steel beam, like the type you would likely see on a mobile lifting gantry, a Jib crane, or an overhead crane.
Some clamps will have a scissor type action, some will have bolt fixings and some may have a screw lock type of fitting. Most types of beam clamp will encompass a locking device to ensure it is locked safely onto the beam; some models come with a built in shackle already attached to facilitate even easier attachment of other lifting gear.
Certain types of these clamps are extra robust and will incorporate extra reinforced side plates and jaws for those demanding jobs. Commonly obtainable in lifting capacities up to 10000kg the beam clamp offers a lightweight, easy to install lifting point from which to suspend your chosen lifting appliance.
With a whole host of beam clamps available to buy here at Lifting Gear Direct, you will not be surprised to see that we stock lots of the biggest brands in this category.

The benefit of buying respected branded beam attachments is that you can be certain that you are getting the best in terms of quality, while also enjoying the benefit of our competitive prices.
You can also find lots more information about beam clamps over on our category page, including an instructional video that will demonstrate how to use this type of lifting equipment safely and with complete confidence every time.
A beam trolley is therefore a mobile anchoring point for other lifting devices such as a hoist. The machined steel wheels on these trolley systems allow it to be easily traversed across the beam, especially the geared models, where the wheels are mounted onto encapsulated and lubricated, ball bearings; they also enable accurate positioning of the trolley and therefore the load.
Beam trolleys, often seen on cranes are obtainable in a wide array of models and capacities, often up to 20000kg. Because a trolley is designed to move back and forth over a beam, locking devices can be added to secure it into a preferred position if necessary.
As with all of our beam attachments and our extensive lifting equipment line up, you can search for specific beam trolleys based not only on their performance capabilities but also on the manufacturers which designed and produced them. There are models from mainstream makers like Yale, Corso, Riley, and a host of similarly reputable organisations. Because they are all grouped together on our site, it is simple to compare and contrast the different models and ensure that you are making the right decision.
Sharing many of the same properties as beam clamps, our girder clamps and trolleys are distinguished because they can act not only as an anchor point but also as a means of lifting beams and girders in industrial operations. These powerful, adjustable attachments are vital and even come in double-ended designs for added convenience.
The easiest way to find out about the different beam attachments we stock and order a cost-effective bit of kit from this category is to contact Lifting Gear Direct to ask for help. Our sales hotline is 01384 76961 and we also have an email form that allows for speedy online communication.
There are two main types of beam attachments for use in common lifting applications. Beam clamps and beam trolleys.
A beam clamp creates a stationary anchor point on a steel beam from which a hoisting device can be attached. A beam trolley on the other hand creates an anchor point for hoists but also enables the hoist and load to travel across the length of the beam.
Push travel trolleys, geared travel trolleys and powered travel trolleys are all supplied at Lifting Gear Direct
Your choice of beam trolley will depend on your lifting set up and the type and frequency of lifting and beam travel needs. Push travel trolleys need to be manually pulled across the beam; geared travel models travel across faster and easier by pulling down on a chain to turn the gears so less physical effort is needed, this is the most popular type; lastly the powered travel trolley lifts and travels at the touch of a button and so is best for frequent lifting and moving tasks.
