Frequently Asked Questions
General Product Information
Q. What are Spreader Beams used for?
A. Spreader Beams are designed to distribute a load evenly across multiple lifting points, making them ideal for handling long or wide items such as steel beams, piping, or large equipment.
Q. Can these beams be used with forklifts?
A. Yes, these beams are forklift-compatible and are commonly used to safely suspend wide or awkward loads that require balanced support across two or more lifting points.
Q. What makes a spreader beam different from a lifting beam?
A. Spreader Beams use top rigging to separate the lifting slings, reducing stress on the load and allowing for greater stability when lifting horizontally compared to standard lifting beams.
Usage and Operation
Q. How are the Spreader Beams attached during lifting?
A. The beam is typically connected to lifting slings via shackles and central hooks. When used with a forklift, lifting attachments are secured according to the operator’s lifting setup and load configuration.
Q. What types of loads are best suited to Spreader Beams?
A. These beams are perfect for lifting wide, delicate, or flexible loads that might bend or become unstable if lifted from a single central point, such as ducts, panels, or structural materials.
Q. Are they suitable for indoor and outdoor use?
A. Yes, the Spreader Beams are made from durable materials suitable for both warehouse and outdoor site conditions.
Maintenance and Care
Q. What routine maintenance is recommended?
A. Regularly inspect the beam for any signs of damage, corrosion, or deformation. Check all shackle points and hooks for wear and ensure that all fixings are secure before use.
Q. Do Spreader Beams require special cleaning procedures?
A. Cleaning is straightforward—simply remove dirt, dust, or residue with a damp cloth, especially after outdoor use, to maintain the beam’s finish and prevent corrosion.
Q. Is a user manual included with the beam?
A. Yes, every unit comes with a user manual that includes fitting instructions, safe usage practices, and inspection guidelines.
Purchasing and Delivery
Q. What is the delivery time for Spreader Beams?
A. Delivery is typically completed within 3–5 working days depending on location and current stock levels.
Q. Can I order Spreader Beams in bulk for my site?
A. Yes, bulk orders are welcome. They are ideal for contractors, plant hire firms, or large warehouse operations handling long materials regularly.
Q. Are the Spreader Beams sold individually?
A. Yes, each Spreader Beam is sold individually and supplied ready for use with your lifting setup.
Safety and Regulations
Q. Are the Spreader Beams compliant with UK lifting safety standards?
A. Yes, these beams are manufactured in accordance with current UK lifting regulations to ensure safe use in industrial environments.
Q. Do the beams include rated lifting points?
A. Yes, each beam includes clearly marked lifting points to help ensure correct load distribution and safe operation.
Q. Are there any training requirements to use this safely?
