If you work in the steel construction industry, you may have the need for beam clamp fall protection gear. This equipment offers special features and serves a special purpose. It’s important to choose the right equipment for fall protection, and here are some of the best choice on the market today.
Guardian Beamer 2000
The Beamer 2000 is a sliding beam anchor, and it can be used overhead or below your feet. It’s made to easily slide across steel beams on nylon bushings, with no problems. It also doubles as an impact indicator if someone were to fall. The end piece works by ratcheting in either direction, and you can use the Beamer 2000 over and over again.
Make sure to check the manufacturer’s recommendation to get the right shock absorbing lanyard. Here are some of the important features you will receive:
-
Easy to use – it only takes one hand to operate, and no tools are needed.
-
Easy to work with – your beam clamp fall protection slides as you move.
-
Light yet strong – even though it only weighs 4 pounds, it is built strong and approved by OSHA. Plus it is ANSI Z359.1 compliant. The Beamer 2000 is made out of strong aluminium, and splatter from your welder will not stick to it. Clean up is a breeze.
