    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.

    Beams with latching hooks screw through openings in the bottom of the beam at specific points to adjust the spread. The hooks swivel for easy positioning before a load is applied.

    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.
