Pipe Lifting Spreader Bar
Safe working load swl.
Pipe lifting spreader bar. Combination beams combine design elements of spreader and lifting beams which have a centred lifting point as well as lifting points on the ends of the top side of the beam. Another advantage of spreader bars to lifting beams is a spreader bar is easily made adjustable in length to accommodate a range of lift spreads. Steel clamps and handgrips are used to lift and turn object such as plates and beams in multiple directions. The main difference between a lifting beam and a spreader bar is the design which dictates the way the force is transmitted during the lift.
Specialised pipe lifting spreader bars can be made to suit pipe lifting equipment used in the pipeline and coal seam gas industries. Spreader bar lifting device calculations and design spreader bar lifting device calculations and design. Due to the axial nature of the load the most efficient shape for spreader bars are square or round tubes. End cap spreader beams and frames from tandemloc inc.

Steel corner cap frames and components. They are suspended by a crane from two slings and normally have two to four bottom slings attached for rigging to the load. Choose from modular adjustable and two position spreader beams and fixed and adjustable fiberglass battery lifting beams. Just like lifting beams spreader beams are used to widen the available lifting points on rigged loads and keep lifting slings at a 90 angle relative to the horizon.
Unlike lifting beams which convert vertical lifting forces into bending forces on the beam spreader bars convert vertical lifting forces into compression forces on the beam. A lifting beam is under pressure at the single lifting point and therefore subject to shear and bending while a spreader beam is designed to work under compression and spread the load out evenly over a.
