An adjustable lifting beam is a below-the-hook lifting device designed to balance and distribute the load evenly during lifting operations. This specialized equipment has adjustable points, allowing you to modify the beam’s length and width to accommodate different load sizes and shapes. This adaptability makes adjustable lifting beams highly useful in various industries, including construction, automotive, aerospace, and shipping.
Adjustable lifting beams
At Crosby Airpes, we can design different adjustable lifting beams according to customer needs. These adjustable lifting beams can be designed and constructed in their most basic form or so that they work in semi-automatization.
In addition, we can advise you on the safest way to lift a specific load without prejudice to its stability. We can design adjustable lifting beams that adapt to complex lifting systems.
Extensible lifting beams
Crosby Airpes also offers the possibility of installing extensible lifting beams, which perform the same function as adjustable lifting beams. Still, they do so with the extension of the length of the beam or frame. The beam extension also balances the weights for optimum and safe load lifting. The great advantage of extensible lifting beams is that semi-automatic hydraulics systems do the beam or frame extension mechanically.
This allows the beam to be adapted to very different unbalanced loads in minutes and reduces the need to manually manipulate the load frame manually or by an operator.
H-Beam Lifting Beams
H-Beam lifting or spreader beams use a horizontal H-beam with adjustable lifting points. This design adjusts the beam to the desired width, providing additional stability and flexibility during lifting operations.
Other types of lifting beams
At Crosby Airpes, we have designed hundreds of lifting beams, adjustable or not, that adapt to a company’s or sector’s specific needs, such as lifting beams with motorized rotation or lifting beams with automatic leveling.
Versatility
The primary benefit of an adjustable lifting beam is its versatility. These beams can be tailored to fit multiple applications and load dimensions, making them ideal for companies dealing with various types of cargo. This flexibility reduces the need for numerous lifting beams, saving time and resources.
Enhanced Load Stability
Adjustable lifting beams offer improved load stability compared to standard lifting beams. The adjustable points allow for precise positioning and balancing, minimizing the risk of load tilting or swinging during lifting and transportation. This enhanced stability ensures safer and more efficient operations.
Cost-Effectiveness
Since adjustable lifting beams can accommodate multiple load sizes and types, they eliminate the need to purchase different beams for each job. This cost-saving feature makes them an attractive investment for businesses looking to optimize their material handling operations.
Improved Productivity
Adjusting the beam’s configuration allows operators to quickly switch between different load sizes and types, reducing downtime and enhancing overall productivity. Adjustable lifting beams also contribute to a smoother workflow by facilitating the handling irregularly shaped and hard-to-lift items.
