Lindapter Beam Clamps: Type FC Flush Clamp from LGH
Lindapter beam clamps give crews a simple way to connect steel sections without drilling, welding, or permanently modifying the beam. For temporary rigging, lifting, and material handling setups, this can be useful when an existing structure needs to remain unchanged.
LGH rents the Lindapter Type FC Flush Clamp, also known as a Type FC girder clamp. This all-in-one beam connection device adjusts to fit both beam width and flange thickness, making it a practical option for certain temporary beam connections and monorail-style setups.
What Are Lindapter Beam Clamps?
Lindapter beam clamps are mechanical connection devices used to attach steel sections together. Instead of drilling holes or welding to the structure, the clamp grips the beam flanges and creates a bolted connection.
The Type FC Flush Clamp is supplied as a pre-configured assembly and does not require a separate location plate. It is designed for quick installation and can be used with parallel or tapered flanges up to 10 degrees.
What Is the Type FC Flush Clamp Used For?
The Type FC Flush Clamp can be used to connect steel sections in applications where a temporary or removable beam connection is needed. In lifting and rigging applications, these clamps may help crews create a temporary monorail-style arrangement or bridge a gap between two points.
Common uses include:
- Connecting steel sections without drilling or welding
- Creating temporary beam connections
- Supporting certain monorail-style setups
- Joining beams with different flange widths
- Working with flat or tapered flanges
- Building a removable connection for project-specific work
The full setup must always be reviewed before use, including the beams, clamp orientation, load weight, load path, hoist, trolley, rigging, and center of gravity.
Key Features and Specs
LGH rents the Lindapter Type FC Flush Clamp model LFCM16.
Key specifications include:
- Safe working load, tensile resistance: 6,744 lbs. with 4 bolts
- Safe working load, slip resistance: 1,686 lbs. with 4 bolts
- Special bolt size: M16, or 5/8 in.
- Tightening torque: 108 ft.-lbs.
- Flange thickness range: 3/16 in. to 3/4 in.
- Flange width range: 3 in. to 7 in.
- For tapered flanges: Up to and including 10 degrees
- Beam connection angles: 45 degrees to 90 degrees, depending on flange widths
Because tensile resistance and slip resistance are different, the correct capacity depends on how the load is applied. Always review the manufacturer’s specifications and full rigging setup before use.
Why Use Lindapter Clamps?
Lindapter clamps can be useful when crews need a steel-to-steel connection but cannot drill, weld, or alter the existing structure. This can save time, reduce the need for hot work, and allow the connection to be removed after the project is complete.
Benefits include:
- No drilling or welding required
- Adjustable for beam width and flange thickness
- Quick installation
- All-in-one connection assembly
- Suitable for parallel and tapered flanges
- Can help create temporary monorail-style beam arrangements
- Helps preserve existing steel structures

When Should You Use Lindapter Beam Clamps?
Lindapter beam clamps may be a good fit when the project requires a temporary beam connection and the beam dimensions fall within the approved range.
Consider the Type FC Flush Clamp when:
- The structure cannot be permanently modified.
- A temporary steel connection is needed.
- A lower beam must be connected to an upper support beam.
- The application requires a removable connection.
- Beam flange width and thickness match the clamp range.
- The connection angle falls within the manufacturer’s chart.
- The full lifting or material handling setup can be properly reviewed.
These clamps are simple, but the application still needs careful planning. The clamp is only one part of the system.
