For temporary or permanent mounting of tapered or flat beams, beam clamps are used for lifting, pulling and suspending loads. Beam clamps must be made to be highly durable and heavy duty to accommodate hook-mounted hoists or load blocks with minimal loss of headroom.

During inspection and subsequent certification of equipment or tools, load tests are often performed to measure weight capabilities in comparison to the accepted standards. Load testing involves putting demand on a system and measuring the response. In mechanical systems, such as hoists or trolleys, specific manufacturer or OSHA guidelines state maximum load capacities for safe and efficient use.

For various industrial and construction equipment specific inspection standards must be met in accordance with OSHA compliance and manufacturer specifications. Certified inspection practices are necessary to ensure proper equipment operation and safe working conditions.
