STAS-LIFTEUROP has designed a lifting beam with weld-on hoist hooks for a company active in the nuclear industry. A customized and above all exceptional lifting solution that met the customer’s requirements!

All lifting beams designed by STAS-LIFTEUROP are usually mechanically welded structures. In other words, an assembly of parts welded together. This assembly is what carries the load!

The bespoke lifting beam is the exception, which proves the rule! In fact, in this case the welds bear the load. Our design office had no other choice given the constraints with which the customer was faced: a limited ceiling height.

To limit the height lost, i.e., the height between the customer’s lifting apparatus and the lifting beam’s hook, the hooks were welded onto the main section. Thus we were able to reduce the space lost to the hooks.

This lifting beam with weld-on hoist hooks had to be inspected by an authorized body: SOCOTEC Belgium. It has an SWL of 7.5 tonnes with a safety factor of 3:1.
