A lifting beam is a mechanical device for lifting and moving heavy loads. It is typically a horizontal beam designed to distribute the lifting force evenly across multiple lifting points on the load, reducing stress on any single point and increasing stability during lifting operations. Lifting beams are often attached to hooks or cables from a lifting device such as a crane, overhead crane, or gantry crane.
General characteristics of lifting beams
- Robust construction: Made from high-strength steel or alloys to withstand heavy loads.
- Diverse designs: Lifting beams can come in various shapes and sizes depending on the application, including straight, H-shaped, or multi-point lifting configurations.
- Force distribution: Lifting beams distribute the load evenly across the entire length of the load, reducing the risk of damage to the lifted object.
- Versatile application: Widely used in construction, transportation, and manufacturing industries.
Lifting beams are commonly used when lifting long, bulky, or easily deformable objects that cannot be lifted from a single point.
