Lifting cross members are used in many areas of industry. For example, it is widely used in construction, factories, storage facilities and ships.
Lifting traverses can be divided into different types. The most common types are:
- Flat sleepers: The simplest type of lifting traverses. They have a flat surface and are usually connected to a single crane hook.
- H sleepers A variant of straight sleepers with horizontal bars at both ends. These bars allow the cross member to cover a larger area and carry more weight.
Lifting cross members can be produced in different sizes and shapes according to the area of use and requirements. For example, lifting traverses used in construction are usually designed for larger and heavier loads. Lifting traverses used in factories are generally designed for smaller and more delicate loads.
For the safe use of lifting sleepers, it is important that they have the appropriate size and weight capacity. It is also necessary to regularly inspect and maintain the sleepers.
Some safety precautions regarding lifting sleepers are as follows:
- Make sure that the sleepers are not loaded beyond their lifting capacity.
- Securely attach the sleepers to the crane or other lifting equipment.
- Only use the sleepers by properly trained and authorized personnel.
- Have the sleepers checked and maintained regularly.
