What Our Clients Say...

"I just wanted to let you know that last week's class was a 
success. Your instructor did a most excellent job. We had engineers and technicians from almost every technical department here and your instructor was able to connect with each and every one of them in a very professional and personal way. Their rigging inspecting skills will be greatly increased as a result of their participation in this class."

Crane Tech Tip of the Week

Spreader and equalizer beams are engineered to support long loads, equalize the load in sling legs or to eliminate or reduce the effects of sling angle forces. 

The picture on the left is an example of a common type of lift beam. The capacity is only valid for the approved lift points, and would NOT be valid in the center of the lift beam. 

The picture on the right is an example of a lift beam that has multiple approved lift points. Capacities are valid when rigged to the corresponding lift points.
