BEAM CLAMPS
15.1
General
A beam clamp is an item of portable lifting equipment used to attach a hoist or similar
portable lifting equipment to a structural beam capable of sustaining a load. Homemade beam clamps shall not be allowed. At present no standards exist to govern beam
clamp design or manufacture, but the onshore/offshore industry generally uses the
type that clamps onto and grips the beam by means of a threaded adjusting bar. They
are designed for vertical lifts only and should not be subjected to side loading. Where
some side loading is expected to occur in a beam clamp lifting operation, a beam
clamp specially designed for side loading should be used.
15.2
Testing
The test load for a beam clamp is 150% of the working load limit, prior to being put
in use for the first time.
15.3
Pre-Use Inspection
All beam clamps shall be inspected prior to use. These inspections shall be performed
by ADMA-OPCO approved personnel prior to each occasion the beam clamp is used

BEAM TROLLEYS
16.1
General
16.1.1 A beam trolley is a type of portable lifting equipment used to attach a hoist or similar
portable lifting equipment to a structural beam capable of sustaining the load to be
lifted. It also facilitates horizontal movement of the load along the beam. Beam
trolleys have no lifting mechanisms.
16.1.2 There are two main types:
a. Push type trolleys are generally suited to low suspension levels, light loads
(usually 2T maximum) and infrequent use.
b. Gear-type trolleys are usually preferred when loads in excess of 2T are handled
and/or accurate positioning of the load is required. They are usually traversed by
an endless hand chain and are more suited to high suspension levels (long falls)
and regular use.
16.2
Testing
All new beam trolleys shall be proof tested to 150% of the working load limit prior to
being put into use and following any significant repairs or modifications. They shall

removed and stored in an area that is covered, dry or otherwise protected from the
environment.
16.5
Operations
Beam trolleys shall be used according to this section, the manufacturers
recommendations, or other book (e.g., The International Rigging and Lifting
Handbook), etc. They should only be used on structural beams that have been
designed, tested and marked with a working load limit. They may be used on a beam
forming part of a structure (i.e., not a designated lifting point) only where a specific
design/engineering check for this purpose has been made. In addition, the following
are recommended practices that should be adopted, as a minimum:
a. Beam trolleys are designed for vertical load handling only and are not suitable for
side loading.
b. Beam end stops (to prevent the trolley running off the beam) must be present on
any beam where a trolley is used.
c. The installation or plant structure must not be used to limit trolley travel.
d. End stops must contact the trolley body.
e. To prevent the trolley moving under gravity, the beam on which the trolley is
used must be horizontally level under all loading conditions.
f. Never stand beneath a suspended load.

selected.
17.4.2 Caution: Do not use plate clamps for the purpose of transferring steel plate around the
installation / plant. The use of this type of lifting appliance is restricted to situations
where plate is being removed from a racking system, or is being moved short
distances where the lift can be retained just above deck / ground level.
18.
General
18.1.1 Sheave (snatch) blocks are used when it is necessary to change the direction of the
pull (single sheave block), or reduce the necessary pull on the lead wire/rope to lift
the load (multi-sheave block). A sheave block can be a single or multi-sheave block
that has an opening side plate to allow a wire/rope to be placed over the sheave
pulley, thus eliminating the need for the wire/rope to be threaded through the block.
This is particularly useful where end fittings would hinder / prevent a wire/rope from
being threaded through a block. Where an anchored sheave block is used to change
the direction of a line pull, the resultant stress on the anchor point depends on the
angle between the 'load' line and the 'pull'. This should be considered when selecting
a sheave block and the anchor point.
18.1.2 This section does not apply to drilling derrick main block sheaves.
18.2
Testing
Sheave blocks shall be proof tested in accordance with the manufacturers
recommendations or international standards prior to being put into use and following
any significant repairs or modifications. They shall be permanently marked or
stamped on the body with the working load limit, and a test certificate should be
readily available.
18.3
Pre-Use Inspections
All sheave blocks shall be inspected prior to use by ADMA-OPCO approved
Personnel. These inspections shall be performed prior to each occasion the sheave
