Spreader Beams – Safe Lifting Devices for Industry and Trade
Spreader beams are essential components of modern lifting technology. They enable the safe and even lifting of bulky, large-volume, or unstable loads that can no longer be moved efficiently or safely with simple lifting gear. Thanks to their special design, spreader beams ensure optimal load distribution and reduce point loads that would occur when lifting directly with hooks, ropes, or chains.
As an experienced supplier in the lifting technology sector, SHT Suhler Hebezeugtechnik manufactures high-quality spreader beam solutions for almost every application – from the classic beam spreader to complex H-shaped constructions. All versions meet the highest requirements for load capacity, workmanship, and safety.
Different Types of Spreader Beams for Various Applications
The choice of the right spreader beam depends on many factors – for example, the geometry of the load, the lifting points, the operating conditions, and the available lifting equipment. Depending on the application, different types are available:
- Rigid Beam Spreader: This classic type is suitable for simple lifting of loads with uniform geometry. The fixed lifting points ensure defined load distribution and allow quick, straightforward handling.
- Adjustable Beam Spreader: For varying load sizes or asymmetrical geometries, the adjustable beam spreader offers a high degree of flexibility. The suspension points can be adjusted individually, ensuring optimal balance during lifting.
- Rigid H-Spreader: H-spreaders with fixed lifting points are mainly used for large-area or sensitive components where load handling along two axes is required. They guarantee stability and safety in defined lifting operations.
- Adjustable H-Spreader: This version combines the stability of the H-shape with maximum adaptability. Both in width and length, the lifting points can be positioned flexibly – ideal for changing applications.
- Big Bag Spreader: Specifically designed for transporting big bags with lifting loops, this spreader allows simple and safe handling of bulk materials. The load is lifted using four stable hooks, ensuring stress-free lifting of the bags.
- Forklift Spreader: When no crane is available, the forklift spreader offers an effective solution. It is mounted onto the forklift tines and extends its range of use with the function of a simple lifting device.
