Craneable Lifting Beam

5000kg WLL | 3m, 5m and 7m Lengths | Grade S355 Steel | Manufactured in the UK | Fully Certified

A fully certified craneable lifting beam for transporting materials and goods that require more than one lift point. The beam connects to a crane via two attachment points on the topside, with multiple lifting points on the underside for attaching loads. Manufactured in the UK from Grade S355 British and European steel.

Key Features

• Two topside attachment points connect the beam to the crane hook or shackle, distributing the load and reducing inward crushing forces on the load below.
• Multiple underside lifting points allow loads to be attached at evenly spaced intervals along the beam, keeping the lift balanced and stable.
• Built-in stand prevents fouling of hooks when the beam is landed on the ground and allows easy access to attached lifting chains and materials.
• 5000kg WLL across all three lengths.
• Grade S355 steel construction throughout, manufactured in the UK from British and European steel.
• Tested and certified to Factor of Safety 3.

Technical Specifications

The weight of the beam must be added to the weight of the load when calculating the total load on the crane hook. Do not exceed the WLL of individual lifting points. Maximum chain angle 45°.

Suitable Applications

The craneable lifting beam is used where a load cannot be lifted from a single point, or where more than one item needs to be transported in a single lift. Typical site applications include lifting lengths of rebar, structural steel sections, formwork panels, cladding elements, and other long or flexible materials by tower crane or mobile crane where a chain sling would apply inward forces or cause instability.

How to Use the Craneable Lifting Beam

1. Inspect the beam before each use. Check the lifting eyes, attachment points and stand for damage, deformation or corrosion. Do not use if defects are found.
2. Attach the relevant lifting chains to the two topside attachment points and connect to the crane hook or shackle. Ensure the crane hook gate is fully closed and secured.
3. Move the beam to where the materials are located, keeping it at a sensible height and guided by a slinger/signaller at all times.
4. Attach the materials or goods to the underside lifting points using suitably rated lifting chains and safety accessories. Ensure attachment points are used correctly so the beam will be balanced when load bearing.
5. Confirm the total load including beam weight does not exceed the crane's rated capacity. Use tag lines to control long loads.
6. Transport the beam and materials to the required location and place onto stable, firm ground capable of accepting the combined load.
7. Disconnect the lifting chains from the materials and lift the beam clear for the next lift.

Important:
A site-specific risk assessment and lift plan must be completed before use. All personnel involved must be competent and briefed in accordance with LOLER 1998. When using beams with cranes in tandem, refer to the requirements of BS 7121: Part 1.

Inspection and Maintenance

Inspect before every use. Arrange thorough examination by a qualified engineer at least every 6 months when in regular use, in accordance with LOLER 1998. Remove from service if any lifting eye, attachment point or structural member shows signs of deformation, cracks or corrosion. Store upright in a clean, secure location when not in use.

Warranty & Support

All Conquip lifting beams are covered by a 12-month product warranty against defects in material or workmanship from the date of purchase.
