TBB-B FIBC Spreader Beam for Big Bags (1000 kg - 2000 kg WLL)

Optimise your bulk material handling with the TBB-B Lifting Beam. Expertly designed for the safe, secure, and highly efficient lifting of industrial FIBC containers—including Big Bags, Jumbo Bags, Super Sacks, and Tonne Bags—this spreader beam is an essential asset for modern logistics, warehousing, and manufacturing environments.

Crucially, the TBB-B model is specifically engineered to enable the seamless, obstruction-free unloading of bottom-funnel discharge bags and open-bottom sacks, ensuring maximum workflow efficiency and minimal material waste during your daily operations.

Core Operational Advantages

• Optimised for Bottom Discharge: The open framework design ensures that operators have clear, safe access to the bottom of the suspended sack, allowing for rapid and hassle-free unloading of bulk materials into hoppers or vats.
• Heavy-Duty Capacity: Scalable to your facility's requirements, the TBB-B is built to handle heavy-duty tasks with a Working Load Limit (WLL) ranging from 1000 kg up to 2000 kg.
• Enhanced Load Stability: Featuring precisely engineered attachment points, the beam keeps the lifting slings perfectly vertical. This guarantees maximum load stability, prevents bag crushing, and significantly improves workplace health and safety.
• Premium European Build: Proudly manufactured in the EU from premium-grade steel, offering exceptional resistance to mechanical damage and corrosion for long-lasting reliability.

Ideal Industry Applications

The highly versatile TBB-B spreader beam is heavily utilised across multiple heavy-duty sectors:

• Warehouses & Logistics: Essential for safely lifting and transporting FIBCs containing bulk goods, animal feed, or raw materials.
• Chemical & Manufacturing: Perfect for production facilities requiring rapid, reliable, and continuous handling of powdered or granular bulk materials.
• Maritime & Freight: Highly effective for port operations, container terminals, and maritime transport where swift loading and unloading is required.

UK Statutory Compliance & Certification

When suspending multi-tonne bulk bags, safety and regulatory traceability are paramount. The TBB-B Lifting Beam meets the highest UK and European regulatory standards, giving site managers complete peace of mind:

• UKCA Approved: Fully certified and regulatory-ready for legal trade and industrial use within the United Kingdom.
• Statutory Machinery Laws: Complies fully with the essential health and safety directives of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
• Complete Traceability: Every unit is permanently marked with the manufacturer's identification, UKCA marking, exact load capacity (WLL), factory serial number, and year of production.
• Harmonised Industry Standards: Designed and manufactured in strict alignment with:
• BS EN 13155: Harmonised standard for non-fixed load lifting attachments

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use the TBB-B spreader to empty bags with a bottom funnel?
A: Yes. The TBB-B is specifically designed to handle bottom-discharge operations. Its structure allows operators to easily and safely untie bottom funnels or open-bottom sacks while the bag is suspended.

Q: Why should I use a spreader beam instead of hooking the bag directly to the crane?
A: Hooking all four loops of a Big Bag directly onto a single crane hook pulls the loops inward. This creates dangerous tension that can rip the fabric, crush the contents, and destabilise the load. The TBB-B ensures the lifting slings pull straight up, maintaining perfect balance and safety.

Q: How do I know which size to order?
A: Check the footprint (width and depth) of the FIBC bags you use most frequently (e.g., 900 x 900 mm), and match it to the corresponding "Intended for Big Bag Sizes" column in the technical matrix above, while ensuring the WLL meets your weight requirements.

Q: Where is this lifting beam manufactured?
A: To guarantee premium steel quality and exceptional durability, the TBB-B is proudly Made in the EU.

Q: Does this equipment meet UK workplace safety regulations?
A: Absolutely. The TBB-B Lifting Beam is fully UKCA marked and strictly adheres to the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, alongside harmonised BS EN 13155 standards.
