Spreader Beams are utilized when lifting large objects such as plates, bundles of rebar, tubing, etc.. The beam allows you to use multiple magnets at a time by attaching them to the beam and maintaining a balanced, safe lift.

IPM designs and builds spreader beams in compliance with the ASME B30.20 standard for below-the-hook lifting devices to ensure proper safety margins are achieved. We have the ability to manufacture manual telescoping beams, motorized telescoping beams, rotating beams, and more. Each beam is customized to fit your exact needs.
