When it comes to lifting loads safely and with stability, using a
spreader beams(balancim) for Munck cranes is essential. This accessory, also known as a spreader, has the main function of evenly distributing the weight of the load during lifting, preventing twisting, swinging, and accidents that could compromise the operation.
What is a spreader beams for Munck cranes?
A
spreader beams is a reinforced metal beam installed between the crane hook (Munck) and the load’s anchor points. It allows for the connection of multiple cables or slings in a balanced and equidistant manner, improving control and load stability during hoisting.
Practical applications of the spreader beams
Widely used for handling large or multi-point support loads — such as tanks, steel structures, panels, transformers, and industrial parts — the spreader beams is ideal when it’s necessary to
prevent deformation and ensure the integrity of transported items.
Safety and stability in operation
By evenly distributing the load’s weight, the spreader beams
reduces concentrated stress on the lifting points, minimizing the risk of rupture, tipping, or tilting. This provides greater control to the crane operator and improved safety for the crew involved.
Versatility in use with Munck cranes
Munck cranes equipped with spreader bars become even more versatile. Operators can handle irregular or elongated items with greater ease. It’s an essential accessory for civil construction sites, industries, maintenance companies, and special cargo transport.
Standards and recommendations
The use of spreader beams must comply with
technical standards and engineering criteria, such as ANSI B 30.20 and NBR 14786. It’s critical to use certified models, properly rated for the specific load type, and to perform regular inspections to ensure structural integrity.
