Available from 4 Tonnes right up to a staggering 70 Tonnes.
We often find that people don't really understand the difference between the two - and yes, there is a difference. So here's what you need to know...
Both Lifting and Spreader Beam systems are designed to distribute the weight of a load to provide stability when lifting objects but in slightly different ways.
Lifting Beams are more suitable for low-headroom environments, attaching to a crane from a single central point, but feature multiple load attachment points across their base. Whereas, a Spreader Beam features lugs at either end that easily attach to a crane's sling. In addition, there are two further lugs on their underside which fix the load, creating a compressive load-carrying system, allowing them to carry heavy weight in comparison to their actual size.
