Steel Lifting Beams



Also known as spreader beams, these beams adjust to stabilize long or unbalanced loads when lifting. Capacity is marked on the beam.
Beams with shackles have lifting eyes and shackles that adjust with screw pins.
Beams with brackets have adjustable brackets and lifting eye.
Beams with latching hooks screw through openings in the bottom of the beam at specific points to adjust the spread. The hooks swivel for easy positioning before a load is applied.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Fiberglass Lifting Beams
These lightweight beams are made of fiberglass so they are nonconductive and will not corrode. Capacity is marked on the beam.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

A bolt fastened with a nut and cotter pin makes these shackles more secure than screw-pin shackles. Also known as anchor and bow shackles, the wide body provides room to attach multiple connectors.
Galvanized steel shackles have a thick coating for corrosion resistance.
Note: Capacities listed are for vertical lifting only. As the lift angle changes from vertical, the amount of weight the shackle can lift is significantly reduced.

Industrial Battery Lifters

Lift forklift batteries and other large, heavy batteries. The beams are lightweight, nonconductive, and have acid-resistant straps.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Hand-Held Battery Carriers



Add a handle to a large-cell battery to lift and move it.
Style B lifter has spring-action jaws; as you lift the battery, the grip increases. The handle provides a nonslip grip.
Warning: Never use to lift items over people.

Fork-Mount Lifting Adapters


Turn your forklift into a crane to lift loads that aren’t on a pallet. These adapters slide onto the forks, so you can secure and lift heavy loads from above instead of from beneath. All have a safety strap that secures to the forklift carriage for added security.
Adapters with one fork pocket are easier to install and transport than adapters with two fork pockets. Adapters with two fork pockets are better for lifting longer loads. They evenly distribute the load’s weight across the two forks.
Styles A, C, and D secure to the forks with thumb screws. The thumb screws allow for precise positioning and can be adjusted to fit different fork sizes. Style D lift loads with a central shackle. They have a swivel hook on each end to lift and balance long loads, similar to how a lifting beam works.
Style B secure to the forks with an auto-tension hook that presses against the fork as more weight is applied. No screwing and unscrewing required.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Fork-Mount Roll-Lifting Poles

Safely transport rolled and coiled items with a forklift. Also known as carpet rams, these poles have pockets that slide over forks and a hook and chain that secures to your forklift’s carriage. The tip is yellow for visibility. For easy storage, remove the pole from the base when not in use.
Make sure the items you move don’t exceed your forklift's capacity.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
