Heavy-Duty Modular Spreader Beam 170 Tonne | 2.0m - 24.0m Span (TS170)

Achieve unprecedented efficiency, ultimate flexibility, and uncompromising safety in extreme heavy load lifting with the TS170 Modular Spreader Beam. Engineered as an industry-leading, heavy-duty lifting device, it is specifically designed for the safe, stable, and highly efficient handling of massive loads across the most demanding industrial environments.

Boasting a monumental Working Load Limit (WLL) of 170,000 kg (170 Tonnes) and a highly adaptable span range from 2.0 m right up to an incredible 24.0 m, the TS170 provides unparalleled flexibility. Whether you are operating on a bustling mega-construction site, managing heavy internal logistics, or overseeing maritime port transportation, this European-made modular system is the premier rigging solution for lifting oversized, awkward, and extremely heavyweight materials.

Key Features & Operational Benefits

• Intelligent Modular Construction: The TS170's highly adaptable modularity allows for rapid adaptation to various immense load sizes. With interchangeable connecting struts (ranging from 0.25m to 6.0m lengths), you can effortlessly configure the exact span required for your lift.
• Exceptional Load Capacity: Built to confidently handle extreme heavy-duty lifts up to 170,000 kg. It safely maintains this maximum 170-Tonne capacity at spans from 2.0m up to 14.0m (when lifting at an optimal 45° sling angle).
• Heavy-Duty Included Hardware: Supplied completely ready to use with premium, high-capacity BX series bow shackles (Upper and Lower) and robust M24x90 (Class 10.9) mounting bolts to ensure total joint integrity.
• Engineered for Safe Operation: Precisely calculated attachment points and a highly stable, rigid framework ensure maximum load stability, actively minimising the risk of cargo swinging, structural damage, or workplace accidents.
• Unrivalled Durability: Proudly manufactured in the EU from premium-grade industrial materials, the TS170 is highly resistant to mechanical wear, heavy impacts, and harsh environmental corrosion, guaranteeing a long service life.

Uncompromising Safety & UK Compliance

When lifting colossal loads up to 170 tonnes, absolute certainty and statutory compliance are strictly non-negotiable. The TS170 Modular Spreader Beam has been rigorously tested and certified to meet the strictest UK and European safety regulations, giving lifting engineers complete peace of mind:

• UKCA Marked: Fully certified, approved, and legally compliant for safe commercial use within the United Kingdom.
• Statutory Compliance: Fully conforms to all mandatory health and safety directives under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
• Harmonised Standards: Precision-engineered and manufactured strictly according to BS EN 13155 (Cranes – Safety – Non-fixed load lifting attachments).
• Comprehensive Product Traceability: Every TS170 beam is clearly and indelibly stamped with the manufacturer's mark, official UKCA marking, precise load capacity (WLL), a unique factory serial number, and the exact year of production for rigorous LOLER inspections.
