I’ve not used them but I’ve used the ones from Home Depot. One of the towers I have them on got hit with winds a couple weeks ago that took out 52 power poles, bent the tower, and bent metal power poles in half. We have 2 antennas on a 5’ pole with a Jirous 29dBi and PowerBeam 500 on that pole. The pole holds 2 channel bars. The channel bars stayed locked solid. I’ll never doubt channel bar again.

Compared to most beam clamps I have seen they are wider and would resist lateral twist better I would think. They are also designed to resist pull out with the clamp bolt angled inward. Every beam clamp I have seen has a bolt that clamps straight onto the beam flat and are designed to provide strength against a pull directly perpendicular to the beam. At least that is what I have seen. On Fri, Jul 24, 2015 at 11:41 PM, Rory Conaway <r...@triadwireless.net<mailto:r...@triadwireless.net>> wrote: These are good for cables.

It's 4-sided with 3x3 angle iron uprights. Would prefer to not drill holes, so I am looking at good ways to clamp between the angle iron and the unistrut. We will be mounting a PMP450 on a 2-7/8 pipe. -- bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> -- Lewis Bergman 325-439-0533 Cell
