Description
Corrosion-Resistant Fixed Length Spreader Beam for Industrial Lifting
The DALE DFS Fixed Length Spreader Beam from DALE Lifting & Handling Specialists is a robust and precision-engineered lifting solution designed to improve stability, safety, and control during heavy load handling. Built for demanding industrial, construction, and engineering environments, the DFS range provides reliable performance where headroom is not restricted and load balance is critical.
Available in capacities from 2 tonnes up to 20 tonnes SWL, and spans from 1.2 metres to 6 metres, this fixed spreader beam delivers consistent performance across a wide range of lifting operations.
Stable Load Handling with Fixed Geometry Design
The DFS beam uses a fixed-length structure to ensure predictable load behaviour during lifting. This makes it particularly effective for:
- Structural steel handling
- Machinery installation
- Engineering fabrication
- General industrial lifting tasks
Its rigid configuration enhances load stability, reducing swing and improving operator control compared with single-point lifting methods.
Flexible Sling Compatibility for Different Lift Setups
The beam is designed to work with standard lifting arrangements, including:
- Two-leg chain slings
- Two-leg wire rope slings
- Optional chain sling with COG adjustment for off-centre loads
This flexibility allows operators to fine-tune lifting balance depending on load geometry and weight distribution.
Corrosion-Resistant Construction for Harsh Environments
The DFS range is engineered with a durable protective finish suitable for industrial exposure, including moisture and outdoor use. Key corrosion-resistant features include:
- High-durability protective coating system for abrasion and weather resistance
- Sealed and treated structural steel construction for extended service life
- Corrosion-resistant surface finish suitable for workshop and site conditions
This makes the beam suitable for both indoor manufacturing environments and exposed construction sites.
Safety-Focused Hook and Connection System
Each beam is supplied with:
- Swivel safety latch hooks as standard
- Secure lifting points designed for consistent load engagement
- Compatibility with chain or wire rope top slings
For added control, chain sling configurations can include COG (Centre of Gravity) adjustment, allowing safe correction of uneven or offset loads.
Engineered to International Standards
The DALE DFS Spreader Beam is manufactured to high engineering and safety standards, including:
- 4:1 safety factor
- Full proof testing prior to dispatch
- EC Certificate of Conformity supplied with every unit
- Comprehensive user and maintenance documentation
This ensures full compliance and safe operation in regulated lifting environments.
Ideal Applications
The DFS fixed beam is widely used across:
- Construction and civil engineering
- Manufacturing and fabrication workshops
- Heavy equipment installation
- Industrial maintenance operations
- Logistics and material handling environments
