Smoggy Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Another lifting equipment post! There is a difference between a "spreader beam" and a "lifting beam" .......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kozzy Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 We need a better idea of what you are lifting AND what you are using for the lift. Some info on the nature of the move would help also: Moving it across a shop vs onto a truck, 5000 miles of dirt road, and 300 feet up a loose gravel hill are 2 different things. Some machine tools like lathes are notoriously unbalanced and might require a different set-up. From my experience, you also might be over-complicating things--but without info it's hard to tell.
