3.1 Multi Section Beams

This type of beam consists of multiple sections to each load range

depending on the required length. The load range is from 1T – 475 T

with lengths of 1,5 m – 15 m, providing you a large set of lifting options.

One of the main purposes and key benefits of the multi section beams

is the interchangeable components. Within its load range,

modules/sections can be added or taken away to provide you with the

flexibility in lengths that you need.

Multi section Lifting Beam deliveries

6

3.2 Single Section Beams

If flexibility in length is not an issue and your upcoming lift is limited to

an operation with exact specified length and load, a single section

option may be beneficial.

The same components still apply, however the centre section is

limited to one piece, reflecting the total length needed for your

operation.

Should you still see the need for interchangeable components even

though you have already purchased the single section beam, there is

no need to worry. The end forks and links are still interchangeable

with the multi section beams and can easily be assembled with these

components.

The single-section lifting beams are designed using the same criteria

as the multi-module beams, thus the same dimensions in height and

width, the same shackle options and the same connecting bolts.

3.3 Shackles

Shackles are optional with all deliveries. Our lifting beams are suited for use with standard bow shackles or wide

body shackles.

The required shackle sizes depend on the load of the beam, see illustrations on which shackle sizes to use for

the corresponding beam below.

3.4 Lifting slings and stock

The lifting beam is intended for use with steel wire slings, fibre rope slings or chain slings. We produce and certify wire sling assemblies according to various applicable standards. We are type approved by DNV GL according to DNV Standard for Certification 2.7-1.

Our in house production facility provides fast and reliable sling

production. With our 3700 T pressing machine, end terminations are

performed on steel wire rope from 2 mm – 144mm. In our workshop,

there is also a test bench where proof load testing and break testing

are carried out regularly. The capacity is 100T.

From our stock, we keep approx. 8000 articles with another 50000

articles from our total Certex-stock, which we also have access to.

bolt of the upper shackle as illustrated below. This functionality enables the beam to be used with a wide range

of sling angles.

12

The Certex beams are named based on applicable class/regulations, end link options and loads, as illustrated

Table 1 Overview on class / regulations compatibility

Table 1 shows that by ordering a CT1 beam type, this will be applicable for use within the criteria of the Machinery

Directive. This basically means that the beam can only be used if the lift is carried out by using a crane located

on land or on a fixed installation / platform. This beam type cannot be used while operating from i.e. an offshore

crane located on a floating vessel.

At CERTEX NORWAY AS, we have the necessary expertise to guide you in terms of which certification level is

applicable for your upcoming lift.

13

3.9 Lifting / Spreader beam capacity

As mentioned in 4.1, the beams are organised in three capacities, CT1, CT2 and CT3. Each capacity is divided

into three ranges; one low range, one middle range and one high range.

As shown by figure 1, each of the beams have a varying capacity dependent on length, all of which are tapering

off at long lengths due to buckling.

Figure 1 Capacity range of beams

Each of the beams can be supplied with several types of end links as mentioned in previous chapters and as

shown by table 2; either standard bow shackles or wide body shackles.

3.10 How to find a suitable beam

Obviously, the more you know about your upcoming lift, the better.

At Certex, we are here to help you find the best suitable beam and lifting

gear for the job.

Do not hesitate to contact us for counselling, advice and delivery of your

requested components.

Key

information:

Location of crane: Determines whether or not the delivery could be seen as a land-lift or offshore lift Weight of component: Determines the minimum required SWL / WLL for the selected lifting beam Distance between lifting points of component(s) to be lifted: Determines the required length of the lifting beam Lifting height from beam to crane hook: Determines the required length of lifting slings and the beneficial sling angle One or more operations? May determine the certification level of the beam Operational environment: May determine selected material and/or which surface protection to be applied

If your desired lifting / spreader beam is not located

within these chapters, don’t worry. We also provide

you with our customized lifting beams, specially

designed for your purpose.
