I know that the yard has had problems in the past lifting a certain make of yacht where the hull has flexed and caused cracks around the toe rail. I'm not convinced by his comments and it would seem to me that it is far easier for the yard to crane lift this way rather then using the more difficult and time consuming slip. Never exceed the rated capacities of the spreader bar except for purpose of a test and then do not exceed 125 of its rated.

However, I was told that it was not necessary. Remember the weight of the bar must be deducted from the lift capacity of the crane. Whilst, a spreader bar or beam is a device that holds the legs of a lifting sling apart. I have asked the yard manager why they do not use spreader bars which would allow the slings to be more 'vertical' and similar to the lift using a travel hoist. Combination Lifting beams have a single centred lifting point on the top side of the beam to connect to a crane, hoist or other lifting mechanism.

The 'squeeze' that the slings apppear to exert as they go to a single point at the jib looks quite eye watering. My concern is over the pressure exerted on the hull sides, particularly around the point where the hull joins the deck - there is a metal toe-rail fitted. I don't know the height of the extended jib but the mast is around 48 feet from the deck so it is at least clear of that. The backstay is released to allow the crane jib access to the slings. The lift out is done using 2 slings under the boat that go via chains to a conventional single jib.

In previous years they have used a slipway where they haul up the boats on a cradle using a fixed winch. If you currently have a requirement for a spreader beam within your workplace, get in touch with our team on 01952 586 626 or email to find out how Pelloby can help.My boat was lifted recently by crane at the boatyard where I berth my boat - which is just under 12 metres and weighs in at 18,000 lbs. Our bespoke approach means every crane spreader bar we produce is made to order letting us fully customise it around your specific lifting requirement. We can create spreader beams to support any capacity from a few kilograms, through to tens of tonnes. We can manufacture spreader beams for use with jib cranes, overhead cranes, gantry cranes, monorail cranes or any other lifting system.Р”Р‡rom standard horizontal crane spreaders beams through to four point spreader beams and adjustable spreader beams, our designers will ensure you get a spreader beam solution that works for you. Pelloby have decades of experience in designing and producing standard and bespoke spreader beams (also known as crane spreader bars) for use in conjunction with various crane systems.Р”В¬rane spreader beams are a commonplace lifting attachment in many workplaces, as they help distribute the weight of a load across a wider area for added stability and strength.
