    Steel Lifting Beams

    Keep long and unbalanced loads stable where overhead space is limited. Unlike spreader beams, which require a chain sling to operate, these beams use a single attachment point to hook onto your crane, hoist, or other lifting device. However, using one attachment point instead of two can cause uneven weight distribution and place more stress on the beam. Capacity is marked on the beam.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

    Additional Lower Bracket

    Beams with brackets give you more control over where your attachment points are than beams with shackles. Adjust them in 2" increments. For even more stability, add upper and lower brackets (sold separately) to create additional lifting points. You can also use them to replace worn or damaged brackets. Upper brackets are for vertical lifting only. Do not use two upper brackets with a 2-leg chain sling.

    Beams with brackets and hand chain let you shift the lifting eye to stabilize loads without taking the beam apart to reposition the upper bail. Lower the load to relieve tension, then pull the hand chain to shift the lifting eye up to 13 1/2" inches to the left or right.
