BZI® (bzi.com), a leader in innovations for the construction and steel industries, announced that its R&D division, Innovatech®, will debut the new Beam Champ® 30 beam rotator at the FABTECH Expo, booth #S31178, from October 15-17, 2024, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
Designed to enhance beam access and improve operator safety, Beam Champ® 30 sets a new benchmark in the steel industry by optimizing weld positioning and minimizing risks in beam handling. Customers have reported a 20% increase in productivity since integrating Beam Champ into their operations.
“At BZI and Innovatech, we are committed to advancing safety and innovation in construction,” said Worth Bistline, Engineering Manager at Innovatech. “Beam Champ 30 exemplifies our focus on delivering practical solutions for real-world needs.”
Accessing all sides of heavy steel beams for welding is traditionally time-consuming and hazardous. While existing rotator solutions address some issues, they often fall short in areas like beam placement, removal, and secure positioning.
BZI and Innovatech’s proprietary Beam Champ® 30 offers a revolutionary solution. The patented system cradles the beam on a chain and rotates it between two or more Beam Champ units, allowing welding teams to access all sides of the beam with greater ease and safety. It features a larger opening for beam placement and removal, a Vertical Jaw Arm for effortless insertion and removal, and a Support Arm to keep the beam securely positioned during welding.
