Product Description
AMH BC Beam Clamps – Fast, Reliable Hoist Attachment
The AMH BC Series Beam Clamps offer a quick and secure way to create a fixed rigging point on an overhead beam. Designed for vertical loads only, these clamps are ideal for suspending manual or powered hoists. The BC models feature a fixed central lifting eye and are available in capacities from 1 to 10 metric tons. Each clamp installs easily by hand—no tools required—and the compact, low-profile design helps preserve headroom in tight spaces. A durable matte black finish provides a clean, discreet look for both industrial and theatrical use.
