I was always led to believe you can hang 1.8 tonne off a pair of beam clamps, depending on the structure your hanging of of course, is this right??

We have a safety officer here who is'nt interested in "led to believe" :unsure:
 
Load of girder couplers

Hi

The girder couplers are okay in pairs for 1.8 tonne, but dont forget a double coupler can only take 6.1 kN so you will need at least three fittings to take the load to the droppers.

I would assume you will have twin dropper tubes to the butt and a check coupler above each of these so this will have a safe load of 24.4 kN so okay as 1.8 tonne is approximately 18 kN.

All the best
