Spreader Bar

Spreader Bars & Lifting Beams Perth & Western Australia

We supply spreader bars for lifting and lifting beams throughout Perth, Western Australia and across Australia. Our range includes fixed and adjustable spreader bars, H-frame spreader beams, pallet lifting bars and custom-engineered lifting solutions for construction, manufacturing, mining, transport and general industry. Available in various lengths, configurations and Working Load Limits, our spreader bars can be selected or manufactured to suit your load, lifting points and crane arrangement.

Spreader Bars and Lifting Beams

Our available lifting arrangements include:
  • Fixed-length spreader bars
  • Adjustable spreader bars
  • Lifting beams
  • H-frame and four-point spreader beams
  • Pallet lifting bars
  • Forklift spreader attachments
A spreader bar generally uses upper slings connected towards each end, while a lifting beam normally has a central upper lifting point. The right arrangement depends on the load, available headroom, lifting-point locations and crane configuration.

Choosing the Correct Configuration

Important selection details include:
  • Working Load Limit (WLL)
  • Load dimensions and weight
  • Centre of gravity
  • Distance between lifting points
  • Required spreader length
  • Sling angles and configuration
  • Crane-hook arrangement
  • Available headroom
  • Required lifting accessories
  • Operating environment
Send us the load weight, dimensions, lifting-point locations and available headroom, and we can help identify the appropriate configuration.

Standard and Custom Spreader Bars

Standard spreader bars are available for common industrial lifting applications. Where the load or lifting arrangement requires something different, we can assist with a custom spreader bar or lifting beam designed around your application. Custom solutions can accommodate:
  • Unusual load dimensions or centres of gravity
  • Non-standard lifting points
  • Restricted headroom
  • Multiple lifting points
  • High-capacity loads
  • Repetitive production lifting
  • Special site or operating requirements

Engineering, Certification and Testing

Spreader bars and lifting beams should be designed, manufactured, marked, tested and inspected in accordance with the requirements applicable to the lifting device and its intended use. Depending on the equipment and application, this may include requirements associated with AS 4991 for lifting devices and relevant parts of AS 1418 for cranes, hoists and winches. MHS can assist with the required engineering documentation, certification and independent proof-load testing for custom lifting equipment. Read more about Australian Standard AS 1418.

Crane and Forklift Lifting Applications

Spreader bars can be used with suitable overhead, mobile, jib and gantry cranes. We also supply forklift spreader attachments for handling wide pallets and materials with a suitable forklift. We can also assist with compatible hoists, slings, shackles and other hoisting equipment.

Crane Load Levellers

For loads that require adjustment or balancing while suspended, MHS also supplies crane load levellers. These systems allow the lifting position to be adjusted to compensate for an offset centre of gravity, helping operators level and accurately position uneven or unbalanced loads.
