Below-the-hook attachments · fabricated to EN 13155
Custom lifting beams and below-the-hook attachments — the link between the crane hook and a load that cannot be hooked directly. Long profiles, pipe bundles, assemblies or big-bag sacks. We design, calculate and weld them in our own workshop.
01 / Types
Every lifting beam is a bespoke project — we select the type by the load's shape, weight and center of gravity, not from a catalog.
Simple, durable beam for symmetrical loads and repeated handling of the same cargo. Low self-weight, minimal maintenance.
Sliding lifting points allow the span to be reset for each load. Suitable for changing load dimensions and asymmetrical loads.
Four lifting points for long and bulky loads. The load hangs level, without twisting or bending stress.
Custom-built lifting devices designed directly for a specific load — where a standard beam is not enough.
02 / Technical parameters
A lifting beam is a load-bearing attachment — safety is not where you cut costs. Every unit is delivered tested and with complete documentation.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| 01 Fabrication standard | EN 13155 — non-fixed load lifting attachments |
| 02 Welding | EN 1090-2, execution class EXC-3 · EN ISO 3834-2 |
| 03 Structural analysis | Static calculation and assessment of every lifting beam |
| 04 Hook suspension | Eye, double eye or shackle — designs for hooks per DIN 15401 |
| 05 Testing | Proof load test with certificate before handover |
| 06 Documentation | CE marking, declaration of conformity, operating instructions |
| 07 Surface coating | Synthetic coating; hot-dip galvanizing for outdoor use |
03 / Requirements
A few details about the load and the crane are enough. Not sure about something? Send a photo of the load — we will work out the rest together.
04 / FAQ
Answers to the questions we get most often. If yours is missing, give us a call — we are happy to help.
A lifting beam is a steel beam with suspension points placed between the crane hook and the load. It allows lifting long, unstable or multi-point loads (steel profiles, pipes, precast elements, machines) without the risk of tipping or damage.
A fixed beam has suspension points at fixed positions — it is intended for repeated lifting of the same type of load. An adjustable beam allows the suspension points to be moved along the beam, adapting to different lengths and centres of gravity.
Lifting beams and lifting accessories are designed and manufactured to EN 13155 (loose lifting gear) and EN 13001 (calculation of load-bearing structures). Every beam is tested at 1.25 times the rated capacity.
We manufacture beams to order — from small manual beams at 500 kg to frame beams for tens of tonnes. Length, number of suspension points and capacity are adapted to the specific load and lifting method.
Yes, with every beam we deliver a declaration of conformity, certificate, operating instructions and a test report at 1.25 times the rated capacity. If needed, we also arrange regular inspections under Decree 508/2009.
