What is a modular spreader beam?

A modular spreader beam is a reconfigurable below-the-hook lifting device made of interchangeable strut sections and end fittings. One modular system can cover many spans and capacities, replacing a fleet of fixed-length beams.

Do Horizon spreader beams comply with ASME B30.20?

Yes. Every Horizon RA-series modular spreader beam is designed to ASME BTH-1, complies with ASME B30.20, is proof-load tested to 125% of its Working Load Limit, and ships with full design and test documentation.

Do you ship spreader beams to the entire United States?

Yes. Horizon ships modular spreader beams and rigging hardware to all 50 U.S. states from our Chicagoland facility.

What is the difference between a spreader beam and a lifting beam?

A spreader beam is loaded in compression between two sling legs rising to the crane hook. A lifting beam hangs from a single top pick point and is loaded in bending. Spreader beams are typically lighter and better for long spans; lifting beams win when headroom is tight.

Is your 24/7 support really 24/7?

Yes. Horizon's U.S.-based engineering team operates a live 24/7 support line at (815) 763-2754 including weekends and holidays with a qualified engineer answering, not an answering service.
