TBB-FA Lifting Beam for FIBC Bulk Bags (1000 kg WLL)

Handling industrial bulk materials efficiently requires lifting gear that prioritises both load stability and operational workflow. The TBB-FA Lifting Beam is a highly specialised material handling solution engineered specifically for the safe and secure lifting of industrial FIBC containers—commonly known as BIG-BAGs, jumbo bags, super sacks, or tonne bags.

Designed for seamless operation with standard lifting slings, this robust spreader beam is perfectly dimensioned for handling FIBCs with an 800 x 800 mm footprint. Crucially, the TBB-FA model is specially engineered to enable the seamless, unobstructed unloading of bags featuring bottom-funnel discharges or open bottoms, drastically streamlining your daily logistics.

Core Operational Advantages & Features

• Optimised for Bottom Discharge: The open-frame geometry ensures operators have clear, safe access to the underside of the suspended load. This makes untying bottom funnels or emptying open-bottom sacks into hoppers both safe and swift.
• Precision FIBC Handling: Purpose-built to securely lift and transport standard 800 x 800 mm 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.
• Premium European Manufacturing: Proudly Made in the EU. Constructed from high-grade industrial steel, guaranteeing exceptional structural longevity and heavy-duty durability for daily warehouse or site use.
• Lightweight Efficiency: Despite its substantial 1-tonne lifting capacity, the beam features a manageable tare weight of just 26 kg, allowing for relatively easy manual positioning by rigging crews.

Strict UK Safety & Statutory Certification

When suspending multi-tonne bulk bags over factory floors or hoppers, absolute mechanical reliability is paramount. The TBB-FA Lifting Beam is rigorously tested and fully compliant with stringent UK and European safety directives:

• 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.
• Complete Traceability: Every unit features permanent, comprehensive product marking. This includes 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

Bespoke Lifting Solutions & Customisation

At Craneplex, we understand that every industrial environment operates with unique inventory. If our standard 1000 kg capacity or 800 x 800 mm specification does not perfectly match your operational needs, there is a full possibility to customise the lifting beam to your specific bespoke requirements.

Whether you need a different Working Load Limit, alternative bag dimensions, or specialised attachments, our engineering team can deliver.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use the TBB-FA spreader to empty bags with a bottom discharge spout?
A: Yes. The structural design of the TBB-FA specifically facilitates clear, unobstructed access to the underside of the suspended bag, making it highly efficient and safe for unloading bottom-funnel or open-bottom sacks.

Q: What is the maximum lifting capacity of this specific beam?
A: The standard TBB-FA 1,0-0,8 model is engineered for heavy-duty industrial applications and features a robust Working Load Limit (WLL) of 1000 kg (1 Tonne).

Q: What size bulk bags is this beam designed to lift?
A: The attachment points on this specific model are geometrically optimised to securely hold standard industrial FIBCs with a specific footprint of 800 x 800 mm.

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