Axzion Lifting Beams
Intelligent load handling equipment
Custom-made and certified equipment ,according to the type of load, lifitng point configuration and capacity.
Applications of lifting beams:
- Lifting an asymmetrical load.
Without a beam, it might be hard to strap the load so that its center of gravity is exactly below the hook.
*Centre of gravity The centre of gravity is always directly below the crane hook. If the load is unevenly distributed, the crossbeam will hang at an angle together with the load.
In this case, the maximum permissible angle of 6° in accordance with DIN 13155 must be observed. - Handling a long load with a single-hook crane.
Sufficient spread between the slings prevents the load from slipping out; - Improves Vertical Lifting
Slings cannot be stretched close to the horizontal direction, so attaching them directly to the hook requires a minimum distance from the hook to the load. When the lifting beam is used, the slings can be shorter, providing more vertical clearance during lifting; if the attachments of the load are on its vertical sides, the slings have to go over the edges of the load, which can damage these edges. - Avoid the sharp edges.
A lifting beam allows attaching slings to the side lugs without touching the edges; the top of the beam can have two attachment points at the ends thus allowing two cranes to share the load.
Axzion is the specialist for intelligent load handling equipment in the globally active SpanSet Group.
From small hooks to heavy lifting beams and driven grippers with control technology.
