Spreader beams convert lifting loads into compressive forces in the beam and tensile forces in the slings. Spreader beams are designed to convert lifting loads into pure compressive forces and also spread apart the legs of a sling. We Universal engineering are the supreme supplier of Lifting beams especially spreader beams, Lifting slings and shackles , crane lifting and other hook lifting equipments all over the UAE. As the consultant in Middle Eastern countries, we mainly focus on tip toe solutions on your lifting equipment needs.
Two lifting lugs on the top of the beam attach to the legs of a chain sling or synthetic sling at a particular angle designed to ensure pure compression. This uniformly distributes the weight of the load across the two slings. These slings are connected to crane and other lifting machines.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Using a Spreader Beam
Because of the forces acting spreader beams are highly efficient. Also in their use of materials, so they’re typically smaller, lighter, and economic to design and manufacture than a lifting beams. Because they use two lifting points instead of one singular lifting point, the weight of the load is distributed evenly across the beam. They are best in use for off-center load adjustments.
In order to accommodate the overhead slings, spreader beams require more headroom than a lifting beam.Possibility of spinning in the case of long beams or uneven loads. So tagline may be required
A spreader beam is the simplest configuration of the beam, which is used for two or more than two point lift and also a leveled lift. A spreader beam absorbs the compressive force to protect the load being lifted. It consists of lifting eyes which is attached to the spreader beam by means of welding. Its purpose is to connect the load to the beam and beam to the crane hook with the help of lifting accessories. Usually the emphasis is to design a two point lift spreader beam of a particular capacity by selecting 3 standard cross sections, Universal I Beam, Square hollow section and circular hollow section and subsequently suggesting the appropriate cross section for the spreader beam.
At Universal Engineering, no client would be having a void of worry as we cover everything from start to finish. We are here to solve your lifting problems whether it is advice or to design your dream lifting equipment. We prioritize our lifting equipment services like beam lifting equipment , spreader bar lifting equipment, spreader beam, lift beam and four point spreader lift beam (spreader bar for lifting and load spreader). Along with this we do spreader beam calculation and design.
Universal provide one tone spreader bar which is in stock and available worldwide via Universal engineering distributors and rental partners for any lifting equipments in a cost effective manner.
