Riley Beam Clamps / Beam Trolleys

Beam clamps are primarily designed for vertical use and are rated at 0 degrees. We can however get beam clamps which are used at an angle, but they must be marked accordingly and then down rated to suit. The maximum angle that they can be used at is 45 degrees and down rated by 50% of the SWL.

Beam clamps stamped S1, S2 and S5 are only to be used in a vertical position.
