Abstract: The invention relates to a portable beam anchor system configured for remote attachment and release comprising a beam clamp system, a right and left housing, and an attachment system. The beam clamp system includes a right and left clamp, a latch mechanism, a support member, and a rope attachment member. The size of the right and left clamp and support member correspond to the size of a beam. The right and left housing are positioned to substantially cover the right and left clamp. The attachment system is configured to remotely, slidably translate the right and left clamp toward one another on the support member. The low friction member is coupled to one of the right and left housing. The attachment line extends over the low friction member coupled to one of the housings and is fixably coupled to the other housing.
