ABSTRACT:
A clamp assembly including a C-type clamp having an anvil, an opposed screw and a body therebetween is employed in securing a load to a flange of a structural beam. A plate includes a first portion having a locking texture on each side and a second portion offset from the first portion and having a mounting hole therethrough. The mounting hole receives the body of the C-type clamp with a clearance fit and with the locking texture in juxtaposition with the anvil of the C-type clamp. This plate provides a retaining key of hard steel to engage the anvil of the C-type clamp and the flange of a beam structure to enhance retention of the C-type clamp on the beam flange.
