Description
The Uru beam clamp came from a frustration whilst aid-climbing on the regular standard beam clamps. They’re just too heavy and therefore hard to install.
The Uru Beam Clamp solved the problem for rope access companies and that is that a regular beam clamp can only be used for fall arrest.
We borrowed the idea from big wall climbing, in which you have a multitude of choices for creating temporary anchor points, and then continued developing our new industrial rope access beam clamp, the first of its kind.
This particular model has a flange opening of 24 mm, which allows an I-beam flange of 13 mm – 1/2 inch to 24 mm – 1 inch to sit comfortably. We also have a version that has a flange opening of 14mm for beams with flanges up to 13 mm.
The Uru beam clamp has two anchor points that can be used simultaneously, although for rope access purposes it remains one system.
We also added M6 bolts that can be hand-tightened to help the beam clamp stay in place. It is not to be used separately from each other without the strap connecting them both. You can use the beam clamp with the bolts, and we suggest you take precautions not to drop the bolts by mistake if they are not being used. If this can happen, remove them before use.
The Uru beam clamp can also be used vertically; we suggest using a sling to tie into both anchor points if you are going to use the beam clamp for vertical lifeline systems. We do not recommend the beam clamp to be used for vertical aid climbing as this has not been tested.
