Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices

Channel design lifting beams don't take up much headroom, which is an important advantage when there's limited vertical space for making a lift. Each beam features two to three standard spreads, with maximum spreads ranging from 3' to 30'. Capacities up to 40 tons.

This device features a triangular plate design that is ideal for lifting short span loads. It uses less headroom than a spreader beam or channel style lifting beam, leaving more room to hoist the load. Available in 1' to 3' spreads and capacities up to 195 tons.

Spreader beams utilize upper rigging that connects to the hoist or crane from two lift points, providing greater load stability than lifting beams. The rigging occupies extra headroom, so spreaders are best used when headroom is not constrained. 4' to 24' fixed spreads; maximum capacities to 40 tons.

These versatile beams have several upper lift points, so they can be utilized as either lifting beams or spreaders. They also include multiple load attachment points for adjusting the spread. Max spreads from 4' to 12' and capacities up to 7 tons.

The problem of lifting coils without damaging them is solved by this C-shaped hook. A handle makes it easier to guide the lower arm through the inner diameter of the coil for secure lifting and positioning. For narrow coils 8" to 20" wide; up to 5 tons max capacities.

These specialized devices feature curved tong arms that directly grip round bars and pipes. Usable in pairs at the ends of a spreader or lifting beam for improved stability. Sized to lift 5" diameter bars up to 1/2 ton or 8" bars up to 1 ton.

Each adjustable bar tong model can handle a range of bar and pipe sizes. The scissoring of the tong and friction from the curved pads grasp the load when properly balanced. Several sizes available, including diameters from 2.5" to 20". Capacities to 1 ton.

These four-point lifters are perfect for hoisting bulk container sacks. Each arm has a sling keeper that prevents the lifting straps from sliding off during the lift. Smooth edges reduce wear on the straps. Available in 36" and 48" spreads and capacities to 2 tons.

This cylinder lifter is sized for a standard chlorine gas cylinder with its 80.75" to 82.25" spread. It features a low headroom beam design and smooth lifting hook edges that help prevent damage to lifting straps. 2 ton capacity.
