Unistrut is excited to announce two new products: the Hinged Beam Clamp and the heavy-duty P2580 bracket, the company has deemed “the strongest bracket in the market”.
United Tool and Fastener is proud to carry the Unistrut brand of quality products that are simple to use. Furthermore, the company prides itself in that “a wrench is the only tool necessary to use its products”.
Hinged Beam Clamp
The new Unistrut® Hinged Beam Clamp is the solution for mounting a strut system to a sloped ceiling. The Hinged Beam Clamp is designed to pivot up to 18° so strut installation remains level even when the ceiling is not.

Features and Benefits:
• Safe solution for mounting strut to a sloped ceiling
• Eliminates the need to modify products to accommodate sloped ceilings
• Beam flange width ranging from 4"-12"
• Compatible with any 15⁄8" strut profile
• Serrated inside face to prevent slippage
