Turnover spreader beam

Application & load handling

Turnover spreader beams are used wherever heavy, bulky or asymmetrical components need to be safely turned by crane and accurately positioned – for example, in steel construction, mechanical engineering and the handling of large structures. They enable controlled turning of components that would be difficult or risky to handle using conventional lifting equipment.

Depending on the design, the load is secured using lifting belts or chains. This ensures a stable, secure grip on the component, keeping it safely guided throughout the entire turning process.

The even distribution of forces across the turnover spreader beam allows the load to be turned in a controlled manner and gently brought into the desired position – safely, repeatably and efficiently in everyday crane operations.

Easy to get started!

Attach the load, secure it, and you’re ready to go. There is no need for complex auxiliary structures or two-crane operation – the spreader beam handles the entire turning process safely.

 

Safe control

The turning process can be stopped at any time and controlled remotely via radio from a safe distance. Even asymmetrical loads can be moved in a controlled manner thanks to independently controlled drives.

Quick to operate!

No lengthy preparation or extensive safety barriers required. If the load is suitable, you can get started straight away – flexible to use with almost any crane.

Our solutions in use

Turnover spreader beam for turning oven doors

The turnover spreader beam is designed for a working load limit of up to 16,000 kg and features an adjustable suspension eye to accommodate different crane hook dimensions.

The suspension position can be adjusted as required to ensure central load handling at the load's centre of gravity. The suspension can be adjusted under load and is designed for a maximum inclination of up to 3°. Its adjustability accommodates different installation configurations within an effective length range of 2,500 to 4,500 mm.

Turnover spreader beam with asynchronous adjustment

Electromechanical turnover spreader beam for safely turning tooling components with a working load limit of up to 15 t.

The working width can be adjusted individually or synchronously between 2,000 and 4,000 mm via electric drive. Equipped with 2-ply, PU-coated lifting belts. Operated via radio remote control.

Turnover spreader beam with manually adjustable turning units

For safely turning roller pallets with a working load limit of up to 30 t.

The turning units use PU-coated textile belts driven by geared motors. The effective length can be manually adjusted between 2,500 and 7,000 mm using a roller-mounted adjustment system. Operated via radio remote control.

Turnover spreader beam for turning concrete components

Turnover spreader beam for safely turning concrete components with a working load limit of up to 40 t.

The turning units use PU-coated textile belts driven by geared motors. The effective length can be manually adjusted between 2,500 and 6,000 mm using a roller-mounted adjustment system. The suspension is designed for single-crane and two-crane operation. The unit is operated via radio remote control.

Fixed turnover spreader beam

Fixed turnover spreader beam for turning precast concrete components.

Working load limit: 16 t

10 t turnover spreader beam

The turnover spreader beam is designed for a working load limit of up to 10,000 kg and features manually adjustable turning units.

The spreader beam is suspended centrally using a 2-leg chain sling. Adjustable effective length from 700 to 2,500 mm.

Important information on use

  • Round sling hooks must not be routed through the rollers of the drive unit.
  • The contact surfaces for the lifting belts must be free from sharp edges, burrs and abrasive surfaces to prevent damage to the belts.
