FallTech SteelGrip I-Beam Stanchion for Cable HLLs
SteelGrip I-Beam Stanchion with 12" clamp for Temporary Cable HLLs. 42" plated steel I-beam stanchion with adjustable clamping rod.
Clamping rod and wing nut adjust to fit flanges from 4" up to 12" wide. Stanchion base fits I-beam flanges up to 2-1/4" thick.

Who Needs This Product
Structural steel crews use SteelGrip I-beam stanchions to put a compliant cable lifeline on the iron before decking exists. The stanchion clamps to the beam flange without welding or drilling, raises the line to a workable height, and moves to the next bay when the crew does. Kits pair two or three stanchions with a complete SteelGrip cable assembly.

Typical Applications
How to Use
Follow the FallTech instruction manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Clamp the stanchions. Fit each base to the beam flange, adjust the clamping rod to the flange width, and torque the Grade 5 bolts per the manual.
- Set the spacing. Position end stanchions at the span limits, adding an intermediate stanchion and pass-through bracket on spans over 60 ft.
- Rig the cable. Route the SteelGrip cable through the stanchion heads, terminate, and clamp the field end.
- Tension the system. Tighten until the in-line tension indicator shows working tension.
- Connect the workers. Maximum two workers per single span with energy-absorbing connectors and verified fall clearance.
Inspection and Retirement
Inspect stanchions and cable before each use. A competent person must perform a documented inspection at least every six months.
- Post and base: bends, cracks, and weld condition.
- Clamping rod and wing nut: full thread engagement on the flange.
- Bolts: Grade 5 hardware present and torqued.
- Cable system: wires, absorber, tension indicator, and clips per the cable checklist.
Retirement triggers: any fall event, bent posts, damaged clamps, or missing hardware.
