The spreader beam is a rigid lifting device specially designed for the handling of ISO containers (20 and 40 ft) and site bungalows. CIPAL manufactures it to order for each specific lifting application. It thus distributes loads evenly across the entire lifted structure, ensuring stability and safety throughout every operation.
Spreader beam — precise locking onto corner fittings
Unlike conventional slinging, the ISO container spreader beam maintains the attachment points at the exact spacing of the corner fittings. It thus eliminates any oblique force on the lifted structure. This vertical lifting geometry protects both the load and the lifting equipment, whether crane or overhead travelling crane.
Fixed or adjustable spreader beam to suit your needs
CIPAL offers this beam in fixed or adjustable versions to suit containers of different dimensions: 10, 20, 30 and 40 ft. The ISO twist-lock system ensures fast and secure locking onto the container’s corner fittings. This no-load-bearing weld design furthermore guarantees the long-term robustness of the equipment, even under intensive use.
The engineering department sizes each beam according to the specific constraints of the application. It takes into account the type of lifting equipment, frequency of use and the operating environment. Every unit is delivered with a complete technical file: operating instructions, structural calculations and CE marking.
