2 Tonne Crane Spreader Beam 2 Metres

Crane Spreader Beams, spreader bars and lifting beams are very similar devices in common use in almost every industry. These devices have very similar functions; they allow a single crane to lift loads from multiple locations, to spread out the load and provide balance to the lift. Crane Spreader Beams consist of a long beam that converts the lifting load into a bending moment through the beam. This is a much less efficient use of material, and as a result, spreader beams are in general heavier than spreader bars. The main benefit of spreader beam is the substantially reduced headroom required to perform the lift. These qualities make spreader lifting beams well-suited to lighter, shorter span lifts that have a small headroom requirement, such as in smaller manufacturing shops or storage facilities.
