It is a lifting beam (or spreader) specifically designed for lifting heavy, unbalanced, or widely spread loads. It is suspended from a crane hook from a single central point, while suspension chains (or sashes) are distributed along its length to stabilize the load below. Purpose and Main Uses The primary purpose is to distribute the load and avoid problems caused by direct lifting by a crane: Preventing Load Compression: Used to lift long or large loads that may compress or deform if lifted from a single point (such as thin metal sheets, tall tanks, or structures). Lift Angle Control: Allows the load to be lifted parallel to the ground, preventing it from slipping or tipping over. Lifting Point Access: Useful when lifting points (lugs) on a load are far apart or in locations that are difficult for the crane hook to reach directly. Increased Safety: Reduces the risk of load injury or worker danger due to instability. Lifting very heavy loads: They are specially designed to handle extremely heavy loads (hundreds of tons). We have a 3-meter-long plank with a chain capacity of 2 and 3 tons.
