What Are The Differences Between Spreader Beams And Lifting Beams ?
| Spreader beams ( Spreader Bar )and lifting beams are two types of rigging equipment commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and other industries for heavy lifting. A lifting beam is a type of beam that is designed to lift and support loads horizontally by spreading the load weight evenly across multiple points. They are typically used for lifting loads that are too heavy or bulky for normal lifting equipment to handle safely. On the other hand, a spreader beam is a specialized lifting device that is designed to spread a load weight over a wider area, providing support and stability during lifting. These are typically used in applications where a load is too heavy or complex for a single lifting point. They are also useful for maintaining a safe working load distribution during lifting. |

Load Monitoring Spreader Beam
A load monitoring spreader beam is a type of lifting device that combines the functionality of a traditional spreader beam with the ability to measure and display the load weight. These beams are typically used in applications where it is critical to accurately monitor the weight of the load being lifted, such as in construction, oil and gas, and industrial settings.
They are equipped with load cells, which are sensors that convert the force of a load into an electrical signal. This signal is then processed and displayed on a readout unit, allowing the operator to monitor the load weight in real time.
There are several benefits to using load monitoring spreader beams. They can help to:

Spreader Frames ( Modular )
In the construction, oil and gas, and energy industries, you need to be able to lift things in different ways. Traditional lifting beams are like one-size-fits-all shoes – they don’t always work for every job. Modular spreader frames, on the other hand, are like adjustable shoes – you can change them to fit the task at hand.
Modular spreader frames are made up of interchangeable pieces, like LEGOs. This means that you can quickly and easily change the size and shape of the frame to lift different things. For example, you could use a short, wide frame to lift a pipe, or a tall, narrow frame to lift a beam.
They are also safer than traditional lifting beams. They are designed to meet strict safety standards and they undergo rigorous testing to make sure they can handle the weight they’re lifting.
If you need to lift things in different ways, modular spreader frames are a great option. They are versatile, safe, and easy to use.
