The Conquip Adjustable Lifting Beam securely transports heavy or uneven loads using robust, slidable lifting points that move along the beam for even weight distribution — even when the centre of gravity is not centrally positioned. Because the chains never need re-rigging for uneven loads, fewer test lifts and less manual handling are required, making operations faster and safer. With a 10,000kg Working Load Limit and four lifting points, it handles modular pods, prefabricated panel sections and heavy structural assemblies.
Key Features
- Large 10,000kg Working Load Limit for transporting heavy loads in a single lift
- Slidable lifting points ensure uneven loads can be safely lifted without re-rigging chains
- Four lifting points handle loads requiring a stable four-point pick
- Handles on the lifting points reduce the risk of finger traps during repositioning
- Robust steel construction engineered for repeated heavy use
- Reduces manual handling, increasing efficiency and on-site safety
- Versatile design replaces multiple lifting setups, lowering equipment costs
- 4995mm length suits modular pods, panel sections and large prefabricated assemblies

More About This Product
The Conquip Adjustable Lifting Beam is the ideal solution for securely transporting heavy or uneven loads. Robust, slidable lifting points can be moved along the beam to achieve even weight distribution, including for loads where the centre of gravity is not centrally positioned. Because the chains do not need to be re-rigged for uneven loads, this reduces the number of test lifts required and the manual handling involved, making the operation faster, safer, and more efficient. With a 10,000kg Working Load Limit and four lifting points, the Adjustable Lifting Beam handles large or awkward lifts such as modular pod installations, prefabricated panel sections, and heavy structural assemblies. Handles on the lifting points reduce the risk of finger traps during repositioning, and the robust steel construction is engineered for repeated heavy site use.
Suitable Applications
The Adjustable Lifting Beam is the preferred solution for modular pod installations, prefabricated bathroom and kitchen pods, panel sections, and any load with an off-centre centre of gravity. It is widely used in housebuilding for installing prefabricated assemblies, in commercial construction for handling MEP modules, and in industrial settings for moving heavy plant components. The slidable lifting points eliminate the test-lift cycles typically required when chains have to be re-rigged for uneven loads.
A lifting beam has a single top attachment and works in bending, which makes it compact in headroom. Where the load is taken through slings at both ends, a spreader beam is lighter for the same capacity; for four-point support see lifting frames.
How to Use
- Inspect the beam, slidable lifting points, and locking mechanisms before each use
- Position the lifting points along the beam to align with the planned attachment points on the load
- Lock the slidable points firmly in position using the locking mechanism
- Attach lifting chains to each of the four points and connect to the load
- Connect the crane hook to the beam attachment using approved shackles
- Take the strain slowly and observe the load — adjust slidable point positions if uneven
- Complete the lift to the destination and land carefully before releasing chains
Warning:
Total load including chains must not exceed the 10,000kg Working Load Limit. Slidable lifting points must be locked before each lift. Verify weight distribution with a controlled test lift before transporting. Lifting must be carried out by competent personnel in accordance with LOLER 1998.
Safety Information
- Working Load Limit of 10,000kg must not be exceeded — include chain weight in calculations
- Pre-use inspection required, with thorough examination every six months under LOLER 1998
- Slidable lifting points must be locked firmly in position before any lift
- All four lifting points must be engaged when handling four-point loads
- Use only certified lifting chains and shackles rated for the intended load
- Damaged beams or worn locking mechanisms must be removed from service immediately
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What types of loads is this designed for?
The Adjustable Lifting Beam is engineered for heavy or uneven loads where the centre of gravity is not centrally positioned. Common applications include modular pod installations, prefabricated panel sections, and large structural assemblies.
Q: How do the slidable lifting points work?
The lifting points slide along the beam and lock in place, allowing operators to position them to match the attachment points on the load. This eliminates the need to re-rig chains for uneven loads.
Q: What is the maximum lifting capacity?
The Working Load Limit is 10,000kg. This includes the weight of the load plus any rigging chains, shackles, and accessories.
Q: Is this LOLER-compliant?
Yes — the beam is fully LOLER-compliant and supplied with current test certification. Six-monthly thorough examination is required under LOLER 1998.
