Thank you for purchasing a Beam Clamp (“beam clamp” or
simply “clamp”) made by Vestil Manufacturing Corporation
(“Vestil”). Our beam clamps are durable, high-quality products
that combine safety features and superior lifting capabilities.
Despite the clamp’s ease of use, all personnel must familiarize
themselves with the safe operation instructions provided in this
manual.
We produce 4 types of clamp, the BC-2, BC-4, BC-6, and BC-8. Each
clamp is constructed from steel and has a paint finish. The four models are
distinguishable by lifting capacity: 2’s are rated for loads of up to 2,000 pounds,
4’s are rated for loads that do not exceed 4,000 pounds, 6’s can handle loads
weighing as much as 6,000 pounds, and 8’s have a load rating of 8,000 pounds.
All models incorporate a heavy duty formed shackle for easy use with overhead
hoists.
Vestil Manufacturing Corp. created this manual to acquaint owners and
users of our clamps with safe use and maintenance procedures. Employers are
responsible for instructing employees to use the product properly.
Employees and any other persons, who might foreseeably use, install, or
perform maintenance on the clamp, must read and understand every
instruction before using the device. Persons who use the clamp should
have access to the manual at all times, and in particular should consult the
directions before each use. Contact Vestil for answers to any question you
have after reading the entire manual.
Although Vestil strives to identify foreseeable hazardous situations that
could arise during use, this manual cannot address every conceivable danger.
The end-user is responsible for exercising sound judgment at all times.
