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.
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.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

A bolt fastened with a nut and cotter pin makes these shackles more secure than screw-pin shackles. Also known as anchor and bow shackles, the wide body provides room to attach multiple connectors.
Galvanized steel shackles have a thick coating for corrosion resistance.
Note: Capacities listed are for vertical lifting only. As the lift angle changes from vertical, the amount of weight the shackle can lift is significantly reduced.

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.
