Swing Beam Spreader !patent pending!

Application
The spreader beam is designed for the purpose of
lifting 20t pipe sections of up to 24 meters. Due to
the modular design the spreader can be used for
different pipe lengths, but can also be modified Technical Specifications
for a variety of other lifting operations. WLL: 20 t
Pipe sections: 12m and 24m
System Components Certification: DNV Lifting Appliances
The spreader consists out of six main components: 2.22 October 2011
- Triangular hook frame Environment: Offshore
- Triangular swing frames Temperature: -20C to 45 C
- Spreader pipe assembly
- Swing beams Features / Innovations
- Top slings For the majority of the hoist operations, reducing
- Bottom slings the hoist height to a minimum is desirable. To
achieve this, the hook frame was designed. Top
The components are connected to each other by sling angle of 120 degrees instead of the regular
shaft connections, this ensures an easy and fast 60 degrees will ensure an even greater reduction.
build-up of the spreader beam. Due to the
spreader pipe sections, the complete spreader set Safety of the personnel working with hoist
can be transported in a small transport box or a equipment is a high priority. For hoisting of pipe
20 container. sections the bottom slings of a conventional
spreader need to be pulled from the vertical
position towards the end of the pipe to get the
loop around the end. This is very heavy and
dangerous in an offshore environment.

If no load is applied to the bottom slings, the

swing frames will automatically rotate due to the
own weight of the swing beam spreader. The
swing beams will guide the bottom slings to an
outward position which will make it easier and
lighter for the personnel to position the sling
around the pipe end. This results in a safer and
