Crane spreader beams - Efficient lifting made easy
Load spreader beams, also known as crane spreader beams, are loose load handling attachments. These are devices that can be easily adapted to the lifting gear of a crane (e.g. the crane hook) or a manipulator in order to pick up loads.
Lifting beams are a component of load handling equipment and represent the link between a crane/manipulator and the load.
Due to their structure, load lifting beams meet important safety standards and play a decisive role in lifting processes in various branches of industry.
