TBB-GB Lifting Beam for FIBC Bulk Bags (1500 kg - 2000 kg WLL)

Optimise your material handling and industrial lifting operations with the robust TBB-GB Lifting Beam. Expertly designed for the safe, secure, and perfectly balanced transport of FIBC containers—including BIG-BAGs, JUMBO bags, super sacks, and standard tonne bags—this premium lifting equipment ensures maximum stability when handling heavy loads with slings.

Manufactured in the EU to the highest engineering standards, the TBB-GB model is an essential tool for warehouses, construction sites, and agricultural facilities. Crucially, it is specifically engineered to enable the seamless unloading of both bottom-funnel discharge bags and open-bottom sacks, drastically improving your operational workflow and reducing site downtime.

Core Operational Advantages & Features

• Optimised for Bottom Discharge: Designed with a structural framework that facilitates easy, safe, and unobstructed access to the underside of the suspended load. This allows operators to swiftly untie bottom funnels or empty open-bottom bags directly into hoppers.
• Precision FIBC Handling: Geometrically dimensioned to safely lift and manoeuvre all standard industrial FIBC containers with a footprint of 950 x 950 mm. Keeping the lifting slings perfectly vertical prevents the bag fabric from crushing inward and tearing.
• Heavy-Duty Capacity Options: Built for demanding environments, this series is available in highly reliable Working Load Limits (WLL) of either 1500 kg (1.5 Tonnes) or 2000 kg (2 Tonnes).
• Premium European Build: Proudly Made in the EU. Manufactured from high-grade industrial steel to guarantee superior craftsmanship, structural durability, and long-lasting performance.

Strict UK Safety & Statutory Certification

When it comes to overhead lifting, workplace safety cannot be compromised. The TBB-GB lifting beam is fully certified and rigorously tested to meet strict UK and European safety regulations:

• 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: Each lifting beam features permanent, comprehensive product marking. This includes the manufacturer's mark, UKCA marking, safe working load capacity (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: Cranes – Safety – Non-fixed load lifting attachments

(Note: Discharge compatibility for both models includes bottom-funnel and open-bottom bags. Manufacturing origin is the EU.)

Bespoke Lifting Solutions & Customisation

At Craneplex, we understand that standard dimensions do not always fit every application or unique facility layout. If the 1.5t/2.0t capacities or 950 x 950 mm footprint do not perfectly match your inventory, there is a full possibility to customise the TBB-GB lifting beam to meet your specific operational requirements and bespoke dimensions.
