Below The Hook Lifting Devices

Lifting beams are single-point suspension devices designed for lifts where headroom is limited. They accept a single overhead pick point and distribute the load to multiple attachment points below, keeping sling angles wide and protecting loads that cannot tolerate inward compression forces. Standard and adjustable configurations are available for loads of varying length and capacity requirements.

Lifting tongs use a cam or scissor-action jaw to grip the load, engaging more securely as the lift load increases. They are well-suited for handling bars, billets, bundled material, and structural sections in steel mills, fabrication shops, and general material handling environments where fast, repeatable pick cycles are required.

Roll lifters engage the core mandrel of a roll to allow lifting, transport, and positioning without contact with the outer material surface. Available in C-hook and mandrel-style configurations, roll lifters are a standard tool in paper mills, textile operations, and metal processing facilities where protecting the outer layers of a roll during handling is critical.

Sheet lifters handle flat material, including steel plate, aluminum sheet, and similar stock, where edge or face contact is required to make the pick. Available in horizontal and tilting configurations, they give operators precise control over load orientation during placement and are used across steel distribution, fabrication, and heavy manufacturing environments.

Concrete barrier lifters, also known as barrier grabs, are purpose-built for picking, placing, and repositioning precast concrete road barriers and median dividers. Their design allows for quick, secure engagement without manual connections at the load, making them a practical tool for highway construction, traffic management, and infrastructure maintenance operations.

Spreader beams are rigged in two-point suspension and work in compression to push rigging outward, eliminating inward sling forces on the load. This makes them the preferred choice for lifting tanks, vessels, structural sections, and long loads where load geometry must be maintained throughout the lift. Modular and adjustable spreader beams are available for operations that handle varying load sizes.

Pipe lifters are designed to cradle and support cylindrical loads during lifting and transport without damaging or deforming the outer surface. They provide a stable, controlled hold on pipe of varying diameters and are a practical choice for pipeline construction, fabrication yards, and industrial maintenance operations where protecting the pipe surface or coating is a requirement.

Coil lifters, also known as C-hooks, handle coiled material by passing through the eye of the coil and supporting the load from beneath. Available in configurations for horizontal and vertical coil orientation, coil lifters are a common fixture in steel service centers, stamping facilities, and metal processing operations where high-cycle coil handling is a daily requirement.

Below-the-hook pallet lifters use rigid fork arms to support palletized loads from an overhead crane or hoist rather than a forklift. They allow the controlled movement of palletized material in facilities where floor-level access is restricted, where crane positioning is required, or where loads need to be placed at heights a forklift cannot safely reach.
