• The safe rated capacity of the beam can
never be exceeded. The dead weight of the
object to be handled plus the weight of the lifting
beam cannot exceed the safe rated capacity of
the crane(s) to which it is attached.
Inspection procedures
• Safe operating practices require scheduled
inspection procedures to ensure that the
spreader beam is maintained in a safe operating
condition.
• The spreader beam must be inspected visually
at the beginning of each shift to be sure it is in
safe operating condition and that all attachments
are fully engaged and tight.
X 4 4 E21 1 4 H10
• All capacity, weight and safety markings must
be in place and legible.
• Periodic inspections of the spreader beam must
be scheduled at least once every
• Periodic inspections must check for at least the
following conditions:
• Loss of weld integrity
• Signs of structural fatigue or deformation
• Wear on connecting pins, chains, shackles,
hooks or other hardware
• Wear in excess of 20% of original on bail,
connecting pins, hooks or associated hardware
Spreader beams with any of these problems must
be removed from service immediately.

Suitability of the beam.
Type of lifting appliance to` be used.
The safe use of beam clamps will largely be
governed by the requirements for the lifting
appliance with which it is to be used but should
take the following matters into account:
Never:
• Do not use defective beam clamps, lifting
appliances or accessories.
Never allow the beam clamp to cause localised
overloading.
Never exceed the Safe Work Load of the beam

Ensure the lifting appliance is compatible with the

freely into the eye / shackle of the clamp
The clamp must be positioned directly over the
centre of gravity of the load and the load must not
be allowed to swing or impose an oblique
loading.
If two clamps are to be used in tandem the use of
ancillary equipment may also be necessary, e.g.
spreader beam.

• Never intentionally cause the load to swing.

• Never move or remove the end stops fitted at
the end of the beam while the trolley is in use.
• Never use the Beam trolley as a ground when
welding
• Never suspend loads from the hand chain of a
geared trolley.
• Never remove the safety devices from the Beam
trolley or use the trolley without these devices.
• Never suspend loads from the Beam trolley
other than by the anchor point provided.
• Never walk or stand under a suspended load or
cause the load to pass over persons.
• Never move a Beam push trolley other than by
pushing or pulling on the load.
• Never move a Beam chain-operated trolley
other than by using the hand chain provided.
• Check regularly that the trolley is in good
working order, in particular the running wheels.
Never use a device which is not in apparent good
working order.
• Check that the traversing beam on which the
trolley is travelling is compatible with the intended
load.
• Before moving or performing any operation with
the Beam trolley check that it is correctly
positioned on the
traversing beam.
• When moving a load, check that it is not likely to
collide with any obstacles in the surrounding
area.
• Before moving the Beam trolley, it must be
perpendicular to the load and the load must be
correctly balanced.
• Beam trolleys used outside must be
adequately protected against adverse weather
conditions.
• If the device behaves abnormally or makes any
suspicious noises when it is moved along the
beam, the user must stop it immediately and
inform a competent person.
