TBB-XB 4-Point Lifting Beam for FIBC Bulk Bags (1000 kg WLL)

Streamline your industrial bulk material handling with the premium TBB-XB Lifting Beam. Expertly designed for the safe, secure, and highly efficient handling of FIBC containers (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers), this heavy-duty spreader beam is an essential asset for operations utilising standard BIG-BAGs, JUMBO bags, super sacks, or tonne bags.

Whether you operate in bulk agriculture, heavy construction, or industrial manufacturing, the TBB-XB ensures perfectly balanced transport via standard slings. Crucially, this model is specifically engineered to facilitate the seamless, obstruction-free unloading of bags featuring bottom-funnel discharges or open bottoms.

Core Operational Advantages & Features

• Purpose-Built 4-Point Design: Tailored specifically for the 4-point lifting of industrial bulk bags. By keeping the lifting slings vertical, the beam prevents the top of the bag from crushing inward, protecting the fabric's structural integrity and ensuring maximum load stability.
• Unobstructed Discharging: The structural framework of the TBB-XB allows operators clear and safe access to the underside of the suspended load. This makes the process of untying bottom spouts or emptying open-bottom sacks into hoppers both safe and swift.
• Premium European Manufacturing: Proudly Made in the EU. Constructed from high-grade industrial steel, guaranteeing a robust build and long-lasting durability in the most demanding warehouse and site environments.

Strict UK Safety & Statutory Certification

Safety is paramount when suspending tonne-bags of bulk material. The Craneplex TBB-XB Lifting Beam is rigorously tested and fully compliant with stringent UK and European safety directives, providing complete peace of mind for site managers:

• UKCA Approved: Fully certified and regulatory-ready for legal trade and industrial use within the United Kingdom.
• Statutory Machinery Laws: Fully adheres to the mandatory health and safety directives of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
• Comprehensive Traceability: Each lifting beam is clearly and permanently stamped with essential traceability data, including the manufacturer's mark, UKCA marking, Working Load Limit (WLL), a unique factory serial number, and the year of production.
• Harmonised Industry Standards: Designed, manufactured, and tested in strict alignment with:
• BS EN 13155: Harmonised standard for non-fixed load lifting attachments
• BS EN 13001: Comprehensive criteria for crane safety and general structural design
• BS EN 60204-32: Safety requirements concerning the electrical equipment of hoisting machinery

Bespoke Lifting Solutions & Customisation

Every site has unique requirements and handles varying inventory. If the standard 1000 kg capacity or 900–1000 mm bag dimensions do not perfectly match your operational needs, there is a full possibility to customise the lifting beam to your specific customer requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use the TBB-XB spreader to empty bags with a bottom discharge spout?
A: Yes. The TBB-XB is specifically engineered with an open lower framework that allows operators safe and unobstructed access to untie bottom funnels or open-bottom sacks while the load remains suspended.

Q: What size of bulk bags is this beam designed to lift?
A: The attachment points on the standard TBB-XB 1,0-0,9 model are geometrically optimised to secure standard industrial FIBCs with footprints of either 900 x 900 mm or 1000 x 1000 mm.

Q: What is the maximum lifting capacity?
A: This heavy-duty material handling solution features a robust Working Load Limit (WLL) of 1000 kg (1 Tonne).

Q: Can I order a larger version for heavier bags?
A: Absolutely. Craneplex offers full bespoke customisation. If you require a higher Working Load Limit or wider dimensions to fit larger sacks, the beam can be custom-engineered to your exact specifications.

Q: Does this equipment meet UK workplace safety regulations?
A: Yes. The TBB-XB Lifting Beam is fully UKCA marked and strictly adheres to the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, alongside harmonised BS EN 13155, BS EN 13001, and BS EN 60204-32 safety standards.
