BeamChamp® is a patented next-generation beam rotation system designed to optimize ergonomics and weld positioning while improving operator safety.
The company states customers are endorsing the many benefits of BeamChamp's presence in their production facilities. After using BeamChamp, customers are immediately noticing the positive impact on their businesses and looking to bring more of the product into their production manufacturing lines.
According to McWhirter Steel of Lancaster, California, the company is saving significant time per beam flip using BeamChamp. "With BeamChamp, our shop is more efficient; it's safer and has been a great process," said Anthony McWhirter, Vice President of Production of McWhirter Steel.
BeamChamp is a patented, automated beam‑rotating system designed for handling, welding, and inspecting heavy structural steel beams. The system cradles beams on a chain and rotates them within two or more BeamChamp units as the chain moves. Unlike traditional beam rotators that often require repeated crane use and manual repositioning, BeamChamp is designed to reduce delays and the risks associated with beam‑handling.
Project and plant managers at Qualico Steel in Webb, Alabama recommend the BeamChamp, and claim the equipment invention is bringing great benefits to their shop, changing the work at their company immensely. Qualico managers also highlighted that the BeamChamp stabilizing arm strongly differentiates it from other industry beam rotators, better enhancing safety for workers and could eliminate some of the existing process that slow down production time. The group stated BeamChamp automates their system to where cranes aren't bogged down, and their teams are able to maintain the flow of the material throughout the shop.
