The I Beam Clamp gives you a fixing point for edge protection on steel beams where Web Fix and sockets are not suitable. It also works well on projects where edge protection requirements were not planned at an early stage. Some in the trade call this kind of fitting a girder clamp or an rsj clamp, but whatever term you use, it attaches barrier panels and support posts directly to a steel beam.
The clamp fits beam flanges from 15mm to 665mm, covering most steel beam sizes found on construction sites, including rolled steel joists, whatever section size you are working with.
Used together with barrier panels and support posts, the I Beam Clamp forms part of an edge protection system manufactured to BS EN 13374. This gives your site a recognised standard of protection at height, built from components designed to work as one system.
