Moving heavy, rolling wheel sets poses unique balance and safety challenges. The HCM-B lifting beam eliminates these risks by providing a rigid, custom-engineered lifting geometry that prevents load tipping and ensures smooth transit.

• Specialised Wheel Handling: Purpose-built to securely engage and balance industrial wheel sets, protecting both the load and the operator during complex maintenance manoeuvres.
• High-Capacity Output: Delivers a robust 2,200 kg (2.2 Tonne) Working Load Limit, accommodating a wide variety of heavy-duty wheel and axle assemblies.
• Premium European Craftsmanship: Proudly Made in the EU, utilising high-grade industrial steel to guarantee exceptional structural integrity and long-lasting resistance to harsh workshop environments.

Verified Safety & Industry Compliance

When dealing with overhead loads weighing over two tonnes, certified safety is non-negotiable. The HCM-B is not just built to look strong; it is rigorously tested and legally certified to perform flawlessly under pressure.

100% Strength Tested: For ultimate peace of mind, every single HCM-B lifting beam undergoes a rigorous 100% strength test in strict accordance with the appendices of the EN 13155 standard before it ever leaves the factory floor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What exactly does the "100% strength test" mean?
A: It means that absolutely no shortcuts are taken during quality control. Every single HCM-B unit manufactured is physically subjected to a proof load strength test as mandated by the appendices of the EN 13155 standard. It is not just batch-tested; your specific beam is proven safe before you receive it.

Q: Is this lifting beam suitable for train and tram maintenance?
A: Yes. The HCM-B is highly suited for railway depots and workshops that need to lift, reposition, or perform maintenance on heavy rail bogies, tram wheel sets, and large industrial axles up to 2,200 kg.

Q: Can I legally use this equipment in a UK manufacturing facility?
A: Yes. The HCM-B lifting beam is fully UKCA marked and strictly adheres to the legal requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.
