BEAM / LIFTING BEAM
Lifting Beam
Crane hook on the beam. Load hung from bottom lugs — for low headroom and controlled pick points.
SERVICE / 04
Different Spans. Different Pick Points. One Design Discipline.
Spreader and lifting beam design for different spans, pick points, and load cases — engineered in CAD.
BEAM FAMILIES
Different beams for different lifts
Typical configurations modelled in CAD and shown on a dark studio ground — so the metal sits on this theme, not a white photograph.
BEAM / SPREADER BEAM
Spreader Beam
Compression member with slings to the load. Keeps sling angles wide without crushing the cargo.
BEAM / FOUR-POINT BEAM
Four-Point Beam
Multiple bottom lugs for wide, long, or offset loads where a two-point pick is not enough.
PROBLEM
The constraint
Lifting a load with the wrong beam geometry puts the crane, the rigging, and the part at risk.
SOLUTION
What we provide
SV MechCAD designs lifting beams and spreaders for the load, the C of G, and the available crane. Each beam is a distinct CAD design, not a copied catalogue sketch.
- Single-point and multi-point lifting beams
- Spreader beams for wide or offset loads
- Padeye, shackle, and sling interface design
- Drawings and, where specified, FEA on the beam
WORKFLOW
How the work proceeds
01
Capture SWL, span, C of G, and crane limits
02
Select beam type and pick-point layout
03
Model, detail, and check the structure
04
Issue CAD and drawings for fabrication
OUTCOME
Benefits
- Geometry matched to the lift, not a generic bar
- Clear SWL and rigging intent on the drawing
- A design your fabricator can cut and weld
