Description

The Britlift Traditional Modular Spreader is our first choice when adjustability, flexibility, speed of supply and/or self-weight is critical. A spreader beam should never be used to sling along the beams length, but only from the two outer points where the shackles connect. If you do need to sling along the beam’s length, or easy and quick adjustment, then you may need a lifting beam.
