Below-The-Hook Lifting Devices
Specialist Lifting Beam

Specialist Lifting Beam

A specialist lifting beam is designed to connect two or more lifting points on your product to a single crane hook.

Where standard lifting beams are not suitable, Handling Concepts can design a custom beam around your product geometry, centre of gravity, lifting points and handling process. This makes it a robust, economical solution for lower-frequency lifts where the product already has lifting eyes, threaded holes, lifting bars or other suitable lifting features.

Need something different?

Every product is different. Your lifting beam can be adapted to suit offset centres of gravity, low headroom requirements, unusual lifting point positions, location features or alternative crane interfaces.

Where the product does not have lifting points, a specialist lifting beam can also be combined with our specialist lifting fixtures.

We can also offer cradle-type lifting attachments, manual clamp grippers and scissor grab grippers too.

The options shown cover the majority of lifting applications. If your product falls outside these specifications, don’t worry — specials are a core part of what we do. Our engineers will review your application and recommend the most suitable solution for safe, efficient handling.
