The offset load lifting beam is a lifting device designed for the handling of components whose centre of gravity does not coincide with the lifting equipment’s attachment point. CIPAL designs and manufactures it to order for each offset lifting application. It thus enables precise positioning of elements even when direct overhead access to the load is not possible.
Its automatic longitudinal balancing system continuously compensates for the offset between the crane hook and the load. The offset load lifting beam therefore maintains the component in a horizontal position throughout the entire operation, without any manual adjustment. A built-in verticalisation function furthermore allows the operator to position the component effortlessly. All movements are consequently controlled remotely via radio remote control for precise and safe operation.
This type of beam finds particular application in the construction sector for the installation of facade elements, brise-soleil and precast wall panels in high-offset situations. It is moreover suited to the handling of components with variable centre of gravity in industrial workshops. CIPAL offers on-board power supply options via generator, battery or cable reel to suit site constraints.
CIPAL adapts each offset load lifting beam to component geometry, offset amplitude and specific site constraints. Every unit is therefore delivered with a complete technical file: operating instructions, structural calculations and CE marking.
