TBB-VA Lifting Beam for FIBC Bulk Bags (1.0 t - 2.0 t WLL)

Handling massive Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) demands precision engineering to maintain load balance and secure sling attachment. The TBB-VA Lifting Beam is a highly specialised material handling solution designed specifically for the safe and efficient lifting of BIG-BAGs, JUMBO bags, super sacks, and tonne bags.

Whether you are operating in heavy construction, bulk agriculture, or industrial manufacturing, this premium lifting beam facilitates secure attachment via slings, ensuring your loads remain perfectly balanced. Crucially, the TBB-VA model is specially engineered to enable the seamless unloading of bottom-discharge funnel bags, significantly improving your operational workflow and workplace safety.

Core Operational Advantages & Features

• Optimised for Bottom Discharge: The TBB-VA features a purpose-built cross-frame design. This enables completely unobstructed access to the underside of the suspended sack, allowing operators to easily empty bottom funnel or open-bottom bags without interference.
• Versatile Bag Handling: Expertly dimensioned to securely hold the loops of industrial FIBC containers, preventing the bag fabric from being crushed inward and maintaining maximum load stability during transit.
• Premium European Construction: Proudly Made in the EU. Constructed from high-grade industrial steel, guaranteeing exceptional resistance to mechanical damage and rigorous daily wear in demanding environments.
