Lifting Beams are accessories widely used in load handling, offering some performance advantages.
FUNCTIONS
🔸 Avoid the transmission of horizontal force from the slings to the load
🔸 Keep the slings away from the load, preventing contact
🔸 Improve the distribution of forces in configurations with multiple slings and legs
🔸 Allow for a greater number of lifting points on the load
🔸 Equalize the vertical reaction at the ends when there is unevenness in the beam during lifting
EXAMPLE OF A SPREADER BEAM
🔸 Tubular spreader beam with multiple distances between lifting points
🔸 Maximum working load between 50 to 70 tons, depending on the sling angle
🔸 Removable support, preventing the slings and shackles from contacting the ground
TECHCON’S SCOPE
🔸 Structural design
🔸 Inspection of manufacturing, testing, and load testing
🔸 Preparation of the user manual
🔸 Certification of the spreader beam, slings, and accessories
Balance Beams can be designed for various lifting configurations!
SISTERMI uses adjustable balance beams for lifting the viaduct beams for the new access to the airport in Ipatinga.
LIFTING
🔸 Viaduct beams “escanso” over the railway
🔸 Use of 2 balance beams of 70 tons with adjustable lifting points
🔸 Approximate weight of each section: 90 tons
🔸 Use of 1 crane of 500 tons and another of 250 tons
🔸 Use of a combination of 2 axle line modules, totaling 12 axles
TECHNICAL DATA
🔸 Location of cranes, lifting, and rigging plan: Sistermi Rental of Machines and Equipment
🔸 Transport and axle line: Transuiça Logistics and Transport
🔸 Structural design of the balance beams and inspection of slings and accessories: TechCon Engineering and Consulting
