Lifting Beams, Spreaders and Frames

Lifting Beams

Lifting beams are important tools in various industries for safe and efficient lifting and moving of heavy loads. They distribute weight evenly and prevent damage. They are used in construction, manufacturing, and transportation industries for lifting and relocating large loads. Different sizes and configurations are available to accommodate different load capacities. Lifting beams are sturdy and reliable, making them essential for heavy lifting tasks.

Lifting Frame

Lifting frames are crucial in industries for lifting heavy loads, providing stability and strength for safe operations. They are used in construction, warehouses, and manufacturing sites with lifting hooks, chains, or slings. These frames enhance productivity, worker safety, and prevent damage to loads and structures.

Lifting Spreader

Lift spreaders are essential tools for safe and efficient material handling in various industries. They evenly distribute load weight and can be used with different lifting equipment. They come in various sizes and configurations to meet specific load requirements and improve work efficiency.

Types of Lifting Beams, Frames and Spreaders

Lifting equipment like beams, frames, and spreaders are vital for safe material handling. They cater to various lifting needs. Beams distribute load weight evenly, offering stability with their horizontal structure and attachment points. Frames assist with lifting bulky or irregular objects, providing extra support. Spreaders increase lifting point distance, improving balance and stability, ideal for wide or long objects. Knowing these equipment types is essential for safe and efficient lifting operations.

Our Lifting Beams, Frames and Spreaders

Hawk Lifting design and manufacture lifting beams, spreader beams and frames to suit individual applications.

Lifting beams, spreader beams and frames are intended to balance and support a load by providing multiple lift points. Top and bottom flange stiffeners are added to strengthen the beam laterally in case of sideward movement caused by shifting of the load.

Lifting beams, spreader beams, spreader bars and lifting frames are manufactured to your load specific application.

Each beam is proof load tested in accordance with BSEN standards. A certificate of conformity is issued and provided with each beam. They are generally painted safety yellow, with the WLL (working load limit) clearly marked on both sides.

FAQs 

What is a lifting beam?

A lifting beam is a type of rigging equipment used in heavy lifting operations. It is a long and horizontal device with multiple attachment points or hooks on its top side for connecting to the load being lifted. They are commonly used to evenly distribute the weight of a load, providing stability and preventing it from tilting or swinging during the lifting process. They are often used in construction, manufacturing, and other industries where heavy lifting is required.

What is a beam spreader?

A spreader beam is a device used in lifting operations to assist in evenly distributing the load and preventing damage to the lifting equipment. It typically has hooks or attachment points at each end, allowing for connection to the load and the lifting device. The spreader beam helps to maintain stability and balance during the lifting process, making it safer and more efficient.

How often should lifting beams be inspected?

Regular inspections of lifting beams are essential to ensure their safety and functionality. Inspections help detect damage and enable timely repairs, reducing the risk of accidents or equipment failure.

What is the difference between spreader and lifting beam?

A spreader evenly distributes weight across multiple points, reducing stress and increasing stability. A lifting beam securely lifts wide or difficult loads.

What is a frame in lifting?

A frame in lifting refers to the part of the body, particularly the positioning and alignment, that is crucial for safely and effectively executing lifting movements. It involves maintaining a strong and stable core, proper alignment of the spine, and engaging the correct muscles to support the load being lifted. A correct frame helps to distribute the weight evenly, prevents injuries, and allows for maximum strength and power during lifting.

Why do you need a spreader beam?

You need a spreader beam for lifting and moving heavy or oversized loads. A spreader beam helps distribute the load weight evenly across multiple lifting points, reducing the stress on individual lifting points and preventing damage or accidents during lifting operations. It also provides stability and control during lifting, ensuring that the load remains balanced and secure.
