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.

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.

Rotating for easy positioning before a load is applied, these have a latch to ensure that rope, chain, and fittings won't separate from the hook when the load slackens. The hook opening accommodates large anchor points and allows chain to move freely through the closed hook.
Note: Capacities are for vertical lifting only.
