The Light Source MTBC8 8″ Mega-Tent Beam Clamp

The Light Source’s 8″ Mega-Tent Beam Clamp opens 5-1/4″ to fasten securely into the Keder track slot in free span tent beams. The clamp engages the Keder track slot on both sides for 8″, has a centered hole for a 5/8″ shackle, and has two drilled and tapped 1/2″ 13 tpi holes for attaching Mega-Couplers (sold separately ) to hold pipe.

The 8″ Mega-Tent Beam Clamp’s unique design has triple steel shafts, each 1″ thick. The central shaft is threaded with a fine pitch left and right thread and has a captive vise style handle for tightening securely to the tent beam. The central shaft is captured onto the load attachment block ensuring that the load is always centered on the tent beam. The outside shafts are secured onto one jaw, and float in bearings in the load attachment block and the opposite jaw. The load attachment block and jaws are CNC machined from aircraft grade aluminum.

The clamp has a minimum of a 10 to 1 design factor and is rated for up to two tons design load with load and span approval from the tent manufacturer. It is essential to have the tent manufacturer approve the load connections for any specific load, tent beam and span.
