Lifting beams have a simple design. They comprise of a beam with a single attachment point centered on the top. This is for connecting to a crane, hoist, or other lifting machine. Some beams may have two bails to engage 2 crane or hoist hooks. There are usually 2 or more evenly-spaced lifting lugs on the underside of the beam. Their function is to attach to and support the load via hook or sling.
Lifting beams are perfect for lighter and shorter span lifts that do not require a lot of headroom. Furthermore, they require less headroom than a spreader beam because a single bail attachment at the top allows the crane to connect directly and lift the load efficiently.
In addition, below-the-hook lifters provide multiple lifting points and allow engineers to incorporate either variable or fixed lugs, depending on the specific lifting requirements. As a result, operators can use lifting bars across a wide range of applications and for various types of loads. This adjustable design allows lifting beams to:
There is a safe loading and maneuvering process, with the use of an adjustable lifting beam with two lifting points along with the patented evo automatic lifting hooks. The use of lifting beams makes the lifting and maneuvering process with any load faster and more secure. Operators increase safety by maintaining a safe distance from the load throughout the entire lifting process.
