A Forklift Lifting Beam is an essential tool for safely and efficiently maneuvering and transporting heavy objects. It features a centrally - located hook between two fork pockets, allowing you to securely attach it to the forklift and move heavy items to your desired destination. There are also external hooks for even more secure lifting. The beam is made of strong steel with a bright finish, ensuring high visibility from both near and far. You can secure it to the fork truck using a 48 - foot long safety restraint and screw clamps. It has large fork openings for easy attachment, a durable construction for long - term use, a smooth finish for effortless handling, and a yellow surface color for clear visibility. All measurements are approximate, and slight variations may occur. The weights shown are approximate shipping weights. We offer different models like FLB - D - 4 with a capacity of 4,000 lbs, FLB - D - 6 with 6,000 lbs capacity, and FLB - D - 10 with 10,000 lbs capacity.
Using the Forklift Lifting Beam is easy. First, make sure the forklift is turned off and parked on a flat surface. Slide the forks of the forklift into the large fork openings of the lifting beam. Secure the beam to the forklift using the 48 - foot long safety restraint and screw clamps. Attach your heavy object to either the central hook or the external hooks, depending on your needs. Once the object is securely attached, start the forklift and move the load to your desired location. When using the beam, always check the safety restraint and clamps to ensure they are properly tightened. Do not exceed the maximum capacity of the model you are using. For maintenance, regularly inspect the beam for any signs of wear or damage, such as cracks in the steel or loose hooks. Keep the beam clean and dry to prevent rust. If you notice any issues, stop using the beam immediately and contact a professional for repair.
