I-beam rigging clamps
-  for training at Fire Hall
-  sloped I-beams, flange 4 inches wide
- need to determine flange thickness
 - determine slope angle
 
 -  horizontal I-beams, flange approx 7-8 inches wide
- need to determine flange thickness
 - more accurately measure flange width
 
 
 -  sloped I-beams, flange 4 inches wide
 -  requirements:
- adjustable from 4 to 8 inches
 -  placeable on sloping I-beam
- non-rolling
 
 -  MBS: 40 kN
- 2 person load, SSSF, pulley at top
 - = 8993 lbf
 - WLL is not the same as MBS. It has a Design Factor (DF) built in for safety. That factor is not documented; OSHA talks about factor 2 in other parts of its standard. But without specification, we assume that the WLL is only negligibly less than MBS.
