    Spreader Beams

    With two lifting points on top instead of one, these beams keep wide and heavy loads more stable than lifting beams. This distributes weight to reduce stress on the beam. However, these beams require more headroom than lifting beams because they attach to a chain sling.
    Expand or collapse the beam to fit your load. Hooks at the bottom of the beam swivel for easy positioning before lifting.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

    Forklift Lifting Hooks

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Forklift Lifting Hooks. Style D.

    Style B

    Style D

    Turn your forklift into a crane to lift loads that aren’t on a pallet. These lifting hooks slide onto the forks, so you can secure and lift heavy loads from above instead of from beneath. All have a safety strap that secures to the forklift carriage for added security.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
    1 Fork Pocket—Lifting hooks with one fork pocket are easier to install and transport than lifting hooks with two fork pockets.
    2 Fork Pockets—Lifting hooks with two fork pockets are better for lifting longer loads. They evenly distribute the load’s weight across the two forks.
    Style B—Style B secure to the forks with an auto-tension hook that presses against the fork as more weight is applied. No screwing and unscrewing required.
    Style D—Style D secure to the forks with thumb screws. The thumb screws allow for precise positioning and can be adjusted to fit different fork sizes. They lift loads with a central shackle. They have a swivel hook on each end to lift and balance long loads, similar to how a lifting beam works.

    Basket Sling Lifting Beams

    Hook slings to these beams to cradle your load for steady lifting. They work together to distribute the weight across multiple lifting points. They’re especially useful for lifting bundles of pipe, rods, and other materials that might shift as you lift. You can adjust where the hooks are on the beam based on your load’s center of gravity, so even lopsided objects stay balanced.
    Choose a web sling that is long enough to fit around your object and strong enough to support the load.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

    Magnetic Lifting Beams

    Image of ProductInUse. Steel Sheet Not Included. Front orientation. Lifting Beams. Magnetic Lifting Beams.

    Steel Sheet Not Included

    No need for slings or chains—magnets on either side of these beams grip heavy, magnetic items, such as steel sheets and I-beams. They evenly distribute the load across multiple lifting points to maintain balance and stability. Adjust the placement of the magnets using the holes on each end of these beams. An on/off handle engages and releases the magnets.
    The listed capacities are based on lifting metal that has a clean, smooth surface. Capacities will be reduced if used on dirty or oily surfaces. Do not use on metal that flexes.
    Warning: Never use these to lift people or items over people.
