Assembly and uses for ProLux spreader beams and lifting frames

Our spreader beams and lifting frames are universal lifting devices suitable for a variety of different loads and applications, including car recovery. In particular, our lifting frames with four suspension points (‘H’ lifting frames) are very popular lifting devices for use with vehicles. These lifting frames distribute the load evenly over four attachment points. The slings, e.g. lifting straps, are positioned from the frame or beam either vertically or at an angle depending on the width of the load. When lifting a car, for example, it is better if the slings are angled away from the vehicle. This lifting technique avoids damage to the bodywork. Here at ProLux, we offer a wide selection of lifting gear that has been designed in-house. Adjustable beams offer users even greater flexibility. These beams provide variable mounting options for the attachment points or allow the length of the beams to be adjusted. Being able to adjust the width or length means that the lifting gear can be easily adapted to suit your individual application. This is very convenient, for example, to enable you to position the load horizontally depending on the centre of gravity.

Recovery spreader bars for breakdown trucks

Spreader bars are also used by vehicle breakdown recovery and towing services. The lifting equipment must be specially adapted for this purpose.  The main use for this type of recovery spreader bar is to lift vehicles, in particular cars. These lifting devices are already designed with the appropriate dimensions and load capacities for this purpose. Our recovery spreader bars and configurable lifting frames are adaptable types of lifting equipment. However, standard lifting frames are often fixed or rigid and therefore not adjustable lifting devices.
