Crane / Forklift Spreader Beam
The type V2470 Spreader Beam is a unique multitasking Beam which can be used by Crane or Forklift to lift long loads. Using a Crane, loads can be lifted via the centre single hook point (as a ‘Lifting Beam’), or end lifted using a 2 leg Chain Sling (as a ‘Spreader Beam’). If lifting by forklift, the 600mm long slipper pockets allow for fast and safe connection to the truck. The Spreader Beam load connection points are adjustable to 3 positions by moving the extendable arms each end. Both extendable arms are locked into position via safety pins. The unit is supplied standard with a safety swivel hook on each end. The extendable arms are zinc plated with the main body painted in blue.
