More on Beam Champ® 30

Innovatech designed Beam Champ to facilitate faster and safer beam loading and access for welding teams. This groundbreaking system sets a new standard in the steel industry, optimizing weld positioning and reducing risks associated with beam handling. Customers report experiencing a 20% gain in productivity since utilizing Beam Champ in their operations.

Accessing all sides of a heavy steel beam for welding can be time-consuming and dangerous. While various rotator solutions have emerged, they have not addressed several practical needs, such as beam placement, removal, and secure positioning.

Innovatech’s proprietary Beam Champ 30 beam-rotating system presents a new approach to solving these challenges. This patented system allows welding teams to access all sides of a beam more safely and efficiently. The Beam Champ 30 cradles the beam on a chain and rotates it within two or more Beam Champ units. This system offers several advantages over previous rotators, including a larger opening for beam placement and removal. Additionally, its Vertical Jaw Arm enables effortless insertion and removal, while the Support Arm holds the beam securely in place during welding or configuration.
