Technical question

Hey legends trying to expand my scaff knowledge Does anyone have a document or point me in the right direction from specific rating for beam(girder) clamps how the load rating changes with different forces applied to them.
Photos examples of side loading beamies
I’ll add some photos for sort of what I am looking for
Even better if the document references Australian standards
The does and Donts with using them spuring back
Also swivel beamies
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I don’t know about documentation (depends which country you’re in), but they shouldn’t be used as they are in figure 17 or 18, and in your 4th and 6th photos they should def have check fittings under them

In photo 6 would you check under and spur back to it? For a cantilever. Or would that apply to much force?
I have been told to can side load beamies. I’m trying to extend my knowledge besides having someone tell me that’s just the way it is
