Product specic information
The URU Beam Clamp has been designed to create
anchor points on steel I-beams. They are designed
and tested to work with fall protection systems and
specically developed for rope access.
Diagram 1: Rigging angles, sharing the two anchor
eyes can help with increasing security and strength.
As long as you stay within 120 degrees. Beyond you
will be multiplying your rating, see diagram.
Diagram 2: Rigging from the beam clamp, stay
within the indicated 270 degrees.
Diagram 3: The beam clamp is one system. This is
important for rope access rigging as you will need
two independed redundant systems.
Diagram 4 & 5: The strap going through the buckle
doesn’t have a hemped end. Instead we have a red
bartack to indicate to not go past the buckle with
this red stitched line. Leave the 5 cm - 2 inch of
strap at all times.
Diagram 6: Do not leave the strap loose and only
rely on the screw bolts to secur the beam clamp
onto the beam. It is not needed to use the bolt
when using the beam clamp horizontal. The strap
however is mandatory at all times.
Diagram 7: A single eye is rated for 15 kN - 3500 lb.
MBS.
Diagram 8: The beam clamp can be used vertical-
ly to install lifelines. In order to prevent the beam
clamp from falling we introduced the screw bolt.
Diagram 9: Combining two anchor eyes together
you get a MBS of 23 kN - 5000 lb.
Diagram 10: The beam clamp is one system. This is
important for rope access rigging as you will need
two independed redundant systems as is shown in
this drawing.
Diagram 11: TWhen rigging slings as shown in dia-
gram 9 make sure you twist the sling to prevent the
carabiner on the rope side from not being attached
if one of the sides would be released.

Personal protective equipment against falls from a height.
General requirements for instructions for use, maintenance, periodic examination, repair, marking and
packaging as per EN 365:2004
Thank you for using an Eyolf product. We have done everything possible to ensure that the information
provided in this manual is accurate at the time of publication. However, we do not guarantee that this
information will remain up to date, as many products and techniques change over time.
Mountaineering, climbing, caving, working at height and other related activities are inherent dangerous
due to outside factors and hidden risks. Not understanding, taking precautions and eliminating these
risks can lead to serious injuries and death.
If in doubt do not use the product!
Contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
Warning
Medical condition
It should be understood that working at height and the use of equipment to do so, involves a certain
amount of physical and mental exertion. Certain medical conditions are a denite contra-indication to
the safe use of the equipment and working at height.
Training
Training and assessment of competency are essential before use of this product.
Users must be aware of the limitations, precautions and the dangers of misuse.
Risk assessment - rescue plan
A risk evaluation and a quick response rescue plan should be in place prior to any activities at height.
For instance that, if the risk assessment carried out before the start of work shows that loading in the
case of a use over an edge is possible, appropriate precautions should be taken.
Also to deal with any emergencies that could arise during the work/exercise. Relying upon a local emer-
gency rescue team is not a rescue plan and could get you in severe trouble as they might not be capable
or take too long to perform a rescue.
Have a suitable rescue plan in place!
Repairs
Do not make any alternations or additions to the product without the manufacturer’s prior written con-
sent. Repairs shall only be carried out in accordance with manufacturer’s procedures.
Without consent any repair or alterations should be done by the manufacturer.
Intended use
The product has been tested for specic use, do not use the product other than indicated without the
consent of the manufacturer.
PPE
PPE stands for Personal Protective Equipment and in case of this product this means it should be provid-
ed to an individual user.
Strengths
Strengths quoted are when the product is tested new and are in accordance with the manufacturers test
methods or to the appropriate standard. Any weights and measurements are approximate.

Compatibility
Make sure that each item in an assembly can be used together and work as a system. Compatibility
needs to be checked prior to use. Check individual manuals for each item and see if they can be used
together.
Safe use
When working at height or other related activities such as rope access: never rely on a single piece of
equipment always make sure you have an equal redundant back-up system.
Do not fall into the beam clamp directly without any energy absorbance.
Minimize a fall at all times, check your fall factors and the equipment your using to see if it can survive
the impact. See drawing on fall factors.
Use in extreme environment
Use of any PPE in extreme environments can be dangerous. It is important to do appropriate testing
before the use of our products in environments such as extreme cold or high temperatures (working
temperatures are -30 degrees up to 60 degree Celsius), chemicals, dust, sand and other foreign materials,
electrical power, grinding and chang should be avoided, if you have any questions contact us and we
can help you determine the eects.
Inspection
An examination should be carried out before the product is put into service.
Periodic examinations should takes place at least once a year, taking into account factors such as legisla-
tion, equipment type, frequency of use, and environmental conditions.
A periodic exam should be carried out by a competent person.
Before each use visually inspect to ensure the product is in serviceable condition and operates correctly.
If any compromises are found do not use the product and retire it.
If the product has been used to arrest a fall, withdrawn from use immediately! Do not use again until, in
writing, a competent person says it is acceptable for use.
A pre-use check by the user may not be applicable if the user is under supervision of a competent person
or in the case it is used for emergency use which have been pre-packed or sealed by a competent person.
When carrying out an inspection pay attention to the following items:
Check the label / marking (visible, legible, age)
Check webbing (cuts, burns, wear, chemical marks, crushed, other damage)
Check stitching (cut, worn, coloured or disordered threads)
Check aluminium components (deformation, cracks, wear, corrosion, marks)
Check compatibility of connector
Check condition of protective components
Safety of users depends upon the continued eciency and durability of the equipment.
Maintenance
Always keep the product clean and dry. Any excess moisture should be removed with a clean, dry cloth
and then allowed to dry naturally in a warm room away from direct heat.
Rinse in clean cold water. If still soiled wash in clean warm water (max. 40°C) with a soft detergent (with-
in pH range of 5.5 to 8.5). You can use a front loading washing machine but rst place the product in a
washing bag to protect against mechanical damage. Rinse properly in clean cold water and if needed to
disinfect use a solution of water with alcohol. Do not use bleach!
Follow these instructions, if in doubt about the disinfecting method please contact us for further details.

Lubrication
When lubrication is needed a silicon or Teon based spray can be used. Do not excessively spray the
lubricant over the buckle or gate. Wipe o any excess and protect any webbing or rope from being
sprayed.
Storage - Transportation
After cleaning, store unpacked in a cool, dry, and dark place away from direct sunlight, as UV will cause
damage to the webbing over time, excessive heat sources, sharp edges, vibration or other possible caus-
es of damage. Do not store when wet or in a damp area >70%. If a long shelf life is required it is advisable
to store in a moisture proof package, like a polyethylene bag.
Lifespan
This is dicult to estimate but we advise as follows: Do not use the strap more than ten years after the
date of manufacture. Assuming you have used the correct storage, the working life can vary from a ten
year span to a single use in extreme circumstances (e.g. highly chemical environment, serious fall, etc.).
UV light including sunlight will reduce the working life. Contact us for a replacement strap. Aluminium
body of the beam clamp does not have a lifespan.
Anchoring
Any fall arrest anchorage used should be able to withstand a force of 22kN when not certied or with-
stand at least two times the Maximum Arrest Force when engineered.
Do not create slack in the system and avoid any pendulum eect / swing during a fall.
Ideally the user should be attached to the anchor as vertically as possible.
For work positioning, restraint and rescue we advise the anchor at least hold 12kN of force for every per-
son/device attached to it. (Load sharing is an option)
When connecting to an anchor device or structure use a suitable form of connector complying with EN
362, either with a shock absorbers, complying with EN 355, a lanyard, complying with EN 354 or sling and
carabiners depending on the situation you are in. Follow the standard EN 795 for anchoring.
Fall clearance
It is important to keep in mind that the ight path is clear from any obstacles when using a fall arresting
system. It is essential for safety to verify the free space required beneath the user at the workplace be-
fore each occasion of use, so that, in the case of a fall, there will be no collision with the ground.
Calculating the total fall clearance
The fall clearance is the distance required to safely arrest a fall. It is the distance from the anchor to the
ground.
Step 1 – calculate the Free Fall (F)
Step 2 – determine from the label how much the shock absorber deploys (D)
Step 3 – determine the stretch of the harness (H)
Step 4 - add a safety factor of 2m (S)
Step 5 - add all gures together to get the clearance (C)
C=F+D+H+S
Country of destination
It is essential for the safety of the user that if the product is re-sold outside the original country of des-
tination the reseller shall provide instruction for use, for maintenance, for periodic examination and for
repair in the language of the country in which the product is to be used.
