The main benefit of lifting beams is the substantially reduced headroom required.
Spreader bar lifting beam.
Find the load capacity minimum and maximum spread and headroom that fits your application.
The beam typically has connection points on the underside that hook to the cargo for lifting.
At the outset it is important to clarify the difference between a spreader and a lifting beam.
Lifting spreader bar and adjustable beam lifts.
Arrangement of a spreader bar spreader beam vs lifting beam.
The most versatile of the range is the telescopic combination lifting beam spreader bar.
However spreader beams do require more headroom than lifting beams due to the two legged sling arrangement at the top.
A spreader beam is designed to take primarily compressive loads as can be seen in the figure above.
Tsoc offers short span standard duty basket sling universal lifting adjustable lifting four point sack four point adjustable and adjustable telescopic spreader beams for cranes.
Lift beams with fixed pad eyes.
All ways rigging gear provides both lifting beam and spreader beam options.
Lifting beams on the other hand consist of a long beam that converts the lifting load into a bending moment through the beam.
It consists of a body and a set of lugs just like a spreader bar but lifting beams generally have one lug on the top in the center and 2 or more lugs along the bottom.
End cap spreader beams frames.
Aluminum end cap spreader beam assembly.
Models include the tsb1103 tsb1106 tsb 1204 tsb 1304.
Steel corner cap frames and components.
Combo lift and spreader beams.
A spreader bar also known in the industry as a spreader beam is designed for use with a sling that connects the lifting machine hook to the ends of the beam.
General lifting rigging.
Steel end cap spreader beam assembly.
Our lifting spreader beams and bars allow you to turn a crane hook into a multiple point lifting tool.
This is a much less efficient use of material and as a result lifting beams are in general heavier and more costly than spreader bars.
If we resolve the forces on the whole beam we get the force diagram as above.
Modulift modular spreader beams provide the ideal solution for most lifting requirements versatile and cost effective the spreader beam range has capacity from 2 to 5000t with spans up to 100m 330.
