Challenger CGC101 Girder Clamp, 1 tonne (1,000kg), 80 to 240mm I-Beam

The Challenger Girder Clamp is a steel clamp for attaching and suspending loads from overhead beams or girders, listed in the Pacific Hoists catalogue in capacities from 1 tonne to 10 tonne (manufacturer-stated). This page lists 5 models, with a beam width range from 80mm to 350mm.

The catalogue lists an adjustable pin that fits various beam widths, jaws that clamp over the girder flanges, quick installation and repositioning for maintenance tasks, suitability for lifting I-beams, and steel construction with no aluminium (manufacturer-stated).

For each model the catalogue gives the rated capacity, beam width range and net weight. The beam width range is not the same on every size: 80 to 240mm on the 1 and 2 tonne, 90 to 330mm on the 3 and 5 tonne, and 90 to 350mm on the 10 tonne. The catalogue gives no angle derating for the Challenger clamp, so none is published here.

The catalogue lists this product against Australian Standard AS4991 (manufacturer-stated). No certificate or test report is shown on this page: if your site needs proof of compliance, ask for the maker's documents before you buy.

Common specifications

Key specifications

Figures are as printed in the Pacific Hoists catalogue (manufacturer-stated). Beam width range is in millimetres.

Selecting the right option

Match the clamp to your beam: check the beam flange width against the range for the size, then keep the load inside the rated capacity. Check the beam itself can carry the load. Lifting equipment must be used within its rated capacity, inspected before each use, and selected and used in line with your site lifting procedure and the applicable standards and regulations. Do not use it to lift or lower people. If you are unsure what suits your lift, speak to a qualified rigger before ordering.
