Lifting Beams and Spreader Bars for Cranes
Lifting beams and spreader bars are essential below-the-hook tools that turn a crane hook into a multiple-point lifting solution, giving you greater control over load balance, sling angle, and headroom.
Lifting beams distribute the weight of a load across multiple lifting points, providing stability when handling heavy, long, or unbalanced loads — especially where headroom is limited. Spreader bars maintain a fixed distance between sling legs, reducing inward sling forces and preventing damage to the load. Not sure which you need? If headroom is tight, a lifting beam is typically the right choice. If you need to control sling angle and add lateral stability, a spreader bar is the better fit.
Tri-State Overhead Crane distributes Harrington lifting beams and spreader bars for use with overhead cranes across a wide range of capacities and configurations — including Short Span, Standard Duty, Basket Sling, Universal, Adjustable, Four Point, and Telescopic models. All Harrington beams are Made in USA, proof-tested to 125% of rated capacity, and engineered to ASME B30.20 and BTH-1 standards. Contact TSOC for all your below-the-hook lifting needs.
