Choose from modular adjustable and two position spreader beams and fixed and adjustable fiberglass battery lifting beams. Just like lifting beams spreader beams are used to widen the available lifting points on rigged loads and keep lifting slings at a 90 angle relative to the horizon. The main benefit of lifting beams is the substantially reduced headroom required.

This is a much less efficient use of material and as a result lifting beams are in general heavier and more costly than spreader bars. It consists of a body and a set of lugs just like a spreader bar but lifting beams generally have one lug on the top in the center and 2 or more lugs along the bottom.
