A fixed lifting beam is the best solution in a production environment where the items to be lifted are of constant weight and size, the lifting paths remain the same and lifting is repetitive. This lifting beam solution is particularly suitable for production lines that regularly handle the same type of pieces such as pipes, cylinders or concrete elements. The simplicity of the fixed lifting solution provides maximum safety and reliability for demanding industrial lifting applications. In a modern production environment, a correctly selected lifting beam solution is a key factor in both production efficiency and occupational safety. Fixed lifting beams have proven to be a particularly effective solution when the production process regularly handles similar pieces. Industrial lifting always requires careful planning and selection of the right lifting equipment. The fixed lifting beam represents a simple but effective solution that minimises human error and speeds up lifting operations. When the lifting points are […]

The project phase of a production project requires a wide range of lifting equipment depending on the size of the project, the weight of the items to be lifted and the production environment. The main types of lifting equipment are lifting beams, booms, cranes and lifting magnets. The choice of the right lifting equipment has a significant impact on the project schedule, safety and cost-effectiveness. The design of lifting equipment must take into account the specific requirements of the application, safety regulations and future production needs. Lifting equipment is a critical success factor in a production project, directly affecting project lead times, safety and overall costs. Well selected and correctly sized lifting solutions allow for efficient material handling and smooth production progress. Lifting equipment choices made during the project phase are reflected throughout the entire production life cycle. Careful planning of lifting equipment at the outset avoids costly modifications and production downtime later on. This requires an in-depth understanding of the production processes and the characteristics of the items to be lifted. Safety is a primary consideration in the selection of lifting equipment. […]

The boom and the lifting beam are both important lifting solutions in industrial production, but they have significant differences in purpose and design. A boom is a flexible, pivoting lifting device that allows loads to be lifted and transferred over a wide radius. A lifting beam, on the other hand, is a fixed or adjustable beam structure, particularly suitable for lifting heavy and asymmetrical loads directly upwards. Industrial lifting equipment is a critical part of modern production technology. It has a direct impact on production efficiency, occupational safety and overall productivity. Choosing the right lifting solution can significantly improve the speed of material handling and reduce the risk of accidents at work. Lifting booms and lifting beams serve different needs in a production environment. Lifting booms offer a wide operating range and flexibility, while lifting beams specialise in the stable lifting of heavy loads. Both have their place in modern engineering […]

Yes, a lifting beam can be used for off-centre lifting, as long as the lifting equipment is designed and dimensioned correctly for uneven loads. In off-centre lifting, the centre of gravity of the load is not in the centre of the lifting beam, which causes an uneven distribution of forces and requires special attention to ensure safety. Professionally designed lifting beams compensate for off-centre loads with adjustable lifting points and a reinforced structure. Off-centre lifts are lifting situations where the centre of gravity of the load is located off the centre line of the lifting beam. This means that the load mass is distributed unevenly along the length of the lifting beam, causing different forces at different lifting points. This is a common challenge in lifting technology, requiring special design and expertise. In industry, off-centre lifting occurs in many situations. Typical examples are asymmetrical machine parts, special shaped steel structures and production equipment where the centre of mass is not […]

Choosing the right lifting beam for your production process is a critical decision that directly affects production efficiency, occupational safety and costs. The lifting beam is a key lifting tool that enables the safe transfer and handling of heavy objects in an industrial environment. The choice must take into account lifting capacity, operating environment, space constraints and loads to ensure that the solution provides optimum service to production over many years. The choice of lifting beam has a significant impact on the smoothness and safety of the entire production process. A correctly selected lifting beam will improve material handling efficiency, reduce bottlenecks in production and minimise the risk of accidents at work. Incorrectly sized or inappropriate lifting beams can cause production downtime, incidents and additional costs. From a production efficiency perspective, the crane beam determines how quickly and smoothly heavy pieces can be moved along the production line. A well-designed lifting beam solution enables an optimal workflow with short lifting times […]

The best lifting beam for space-constrained production is a customised lifting beam designed specifically for the requirements of the application. In a space-constrained environment, the lifting beam should be compact, easy to handle and efficient enough to perform lifting tasks. The right choice depends on the lifting capacity, the available space and the characteristics of the objects to be lifted. A lifting beam is a lifting accessory that enables loads to be lifted and transferred safely in production areas. It is attached to a lifting device such as a crane and distributes the lifting load evenly over several lifting points. In space-constrained production, lifting beams are particularly important as they allow efficient material handling in confined spaces. Lifting beams allow long objects such as pipes, beams or machine frames to be lifted without swaying or turning uncontrollably. This significantly improves work safety and the accuracy of lifting operations. Space constraints in production facilities impose […]

The choice of lifting beam for production depends on the requirements of the application. A fixed lifting beam is best suited for repetitive lifting tasks where loads of equal size are handled. An adjustable lifting beam, on the other hand, offers flexibility for pieces of varying sizes and maximises space efficiency. The right choice is based on the size of the pieces to be lifted, the lifting density and the specific requirements of the production. The basic difference between a fixed and an adjustable beam is the positioning of the lifting points. In a fixed beam, the lifting points are permanently located at fixed points, whereas in an adjustable beam they can be moved as required. The construction of the fixed beam is simple and robust. The lifting points are welded or bolted firmly to the beam, making the structure highly reliable for heavy lifting tasks. This lifting device is ideal for applications where the objects to be lifted are always of the same size and shape. The adjustable lifting beam offers versatility […]

The adjustable lifting beam is a key tool for making production more efficient, allowing safe handling of pieces of different sizes and weights with a single lifting device. Adjustability means that the lifting points of the beam can be moved to different positions along the beam, making it a highly versatile solution for varying lifting needs. This feature significantly reduces the need for several separate lifting devices, while improving work safety, production flexibility and cost efficiency. The adjustable lifting beam is an industrial lifting device whose lifting points can be moved along the length of the beam without the need for tools or complex adjustments. This allows the lifting beam to be quickly adapted to different sized workpieces, which is particularly important in material handling where the dimensions of the workpieces to be handled often vary. Adjustability is typically achieved by means of sliding lifting points that lock securely in the desired position. Hefmec lifting blocks, such as […]
