TBB-EA Lifting Beam for FIBC Bulk Bags (1,000 kg - 6,000 kg WLL)

Handling multi-tonne Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) requires absolute load security and stability to protect both your workforce and your inventory. The TBB-EA Lifting Beam is expertly engineered for the safe, efficient, and perfectly balanced transportation of BIG-BAGs, JUMBO bags, super sacks, and standard tonne bags.

Manufactured in the EU to the highest engineering standards, this heavy-duty lifting beam is the ultimate crane attachment for demanding construction, agricultural, and industrial environments. Notably, the TBB-EA model is supplied ready-to-deploy, complete with high-quality rigging hardware right out of the box.

Core Operational Advantages & Features

• Effortless Bottom Discharge: The TBB-EA’s specific open-frame design safely enables the rapid, unobstructed unloading of bottom-funnel discharge bags and open-bottom sacks directly into hoppers or mixing vats.
• Ready-to-Deploy Hardware: Unlike bare spreader beams, the TBB-EA is supplied completely equipped with high-quality bow shackles and safety hooks for immediate site deployment.
• Targeted 4-Point Handling: Purpose-built for safely lifting four-loop FIBC containers. It ensures the lifting slings pull straight up, preventing the bag fabric from being crushed inward and maintaining maximum horizontal load stability.
• Heavy-Duty Scalability: Built to handle both standard and extreme industrial loads, offering models with a Working Load Limit (WLL) ranging from 1,000 kg (1 Tonne) up to a massive 6,000 kg (6 Tonnes).
• Premium European Construction: Proudly Made in the EU. Constructed from robust, high-grade industrial steel, guaranteeing exceptional structural longevity.
