Sprederbøyler

Sprederbøyler, also known as spreader bars or spreader beams, are lifting accessories used in conjunction with cranes and other lifting equipment to distribute a load over a wider area. They are typically constructed from steel and are designed to prevent the load from deforming or sustaining damage during lifting. The primary function of a sprederbøyle is to spread the lifting forces applied by the rigging, thereby reducing stress concentration points on the object being lifted.

These devices are particularly useful when lifting long, flexible, or delicate items such as pipes, beams, or large prefabricated modules. By attaching the lifting slings or chains to multiple points on the sprederbøyle, the weight is distributed, allowing for a more stable and controlled lift. The width and capacity of a sprederbøyle vary significantly depending on the intended application and the weight of the load. They can range from simple, single-piece bars to more complex, adjustable designs.

The use of sprederbøyler is common in industries such as construction, oil and gas, and heavy manufacturing where large and awkward loads are frequently handled. Proper selection and rigging of sprederbøyler are crucial for ensuring the safety of the lifting operation and the integrity of the load. Consulting load charts and engineering specifications is essential to match the sprederbøyle to the specific lifting requirements.
