Operation

Lower grab onto the beam and, if necessary, lift tong arms to allow them to slide under flanges of the beam. When the clamp is lifted, its center plate and gripping tongs work against each other... the heavier the beam, the greater the clamping pressure.

**Warning use only for vertical lifting.
