Beam Clamps for Stage Rigging, Theatre and Live Events

Beam clamps create certified attachment and suspension points on structural steel I-beams and H-beams without drilling or welding. Used across permanent theatre grids, TV studios, exhibition halls and temporary event structures, they are the standard solution for suspending lighting rigs, speaker systems and scenic elements from existing structural steelwork.

Doughty Beam Clamps

Doughty Engineering produces a comprehensive range of I beam clamps for entertainment rigging applications. The Lindapter Girder Clamp combines two Lindapter flange clamps with an adjustable steel frame for stud drop and wire rope suspension points on I-beams from 75mm to 300mm flange width. The Lindapter Flange Clamp provides a single precision fixing point for flanges up to 23mm thick. The Doughty Heavy Duty Beam Clamp offers higher load capacity for more demanding overhead rigging installations. All Doughty beam clamps are TÜV certified and stamped with their Safe Working Load.

Yale and CM Beam Clamps

The Yale YC Beam Clamp range covers industrial-rated beam clamps from 1 ton to 10 ton WLL for heavy lifting and load transfer applications. The Yale Trolley Clamp CTP provides a travelling suspension point along a beam for loads from 1000kg to 3000kg. The CM Screwlok Beam Clamp from Columbus McKinnon covers beams from 3 to 12 inches in capacities from 1 to 3 ton. Both the Yale and CM ranges are certified for industrial rigging and lifting applications where higher load ratings are required beyond the Doughty entertainment rigging range.

What to Look For

  • Beam flange width: always verify the flange width of your beam before selecting a clamp. Doughty Lindapter Girder Clamps cover 75mm to 300mm flange width in two sizes.
  • SWL / WLL: match the clamp rated load to your total suspended load including fixtures, cable and all attached equipment with an appropriate safety margin.
  • Application type: Doughty beam clamps are designed for entertainment rigging and stage lighting. Yale and CM clamps are designed for industrial lifting and load transfer.
  • Certifications: all beam clamps in this range are independently certified. Always inspect before use and never use at an angle without manufacturer approval.

Pair with Doughty hook clamps and half couplers, safety bonds and our full rigging hardware range for a complete solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doughty beam clamps are used to create certified suspension and rigging points on structural steel I-beams and H-beams without drilling. In stage rigging they are used to suspend lighting rigs, speaker systems, truss and scenic elements from existing structural steelwork in theatres, TV studios and exhibition halls. All Doughty beam clamps are TÜV certified and stamped with their Safe Working Load.
A Doughty Lindapter flange clamp is a single precision fixing point that grips one flange of an I-beam up to 23mm thick. A Doughty Lindapter girder clamp combines two flange clamps with an adjustable steel frame to create a complete suspension point across the full beam width, suitable for stud drops and wire rope suspension in theatre and studio installations.
Doughty Lindapter Girder Clamps are available in two sizes covering beam flange widths from 75mm to 150mm and 150mm to 300mm. The Doughty Adjustable Girder Clamp covers a wider range of flange widths in a single adjustable unit. Always measure your beam flange width before ordering a Doughty beam clamp.
No. Doughty beam clamps must only be used for inline vertical loads directly below the beam. Using a Doughty beam clamp at an angle without the manufacturer's explicit approval can cause the clamp to slip or fail. Always verify your installation geometry before use and inspect the clamp before every rigging session.
SWL ratings vary by model across the Doughty beam clamp range. The Doughty Lindapter Girder Clamp is rated for entertainment rigging applications including lighting and speaker suspension. For heavier industrial loads up to 3000kg, the Yale beam clamp range is available alongside the Doughty products. Always check the SWL stamped on the individual Doughty clamp and ensure it exceeds your total suspended load.
