Lifting beams are ideal for lighter and shorter span lifts that don't require a lot of headroom. Because there is a single bail attachment on the top for the crane to attach to, it doesn't require the same amount of headroom that a spreader beam does.
Lifting beams are ideal for situations where overhead room is a concern because it connect to the crane or hoist using a bail attachment.
Lifting beams also provide multiple lifting points underneath and can be designed with variable or fixed lifting lugs. This type of adjustability means that lifting beams can be used in many different applications and for many different types of loads. This adjustable design allows lifting beams to:
Handle out-of-balance loads
Control inward crushing forces
Utilize special load securement attachments
The rigid and heavy-duty design of a lifting beam is ideal for loads that are too weak or flexible to be lifted without support-such as long or thin sheets of metal or steel plates.
