When Do You Need a Spreader Beam?
Begin with what you are lifting. Long or flexible loads rarely lift safely from one point, since they flex and destabilise. A spreader beam distributes the force across several attachments to keep the load balanced.
Site conditions count too: restricted access, limited headroom, and involved operations all influence the specification. Where the choice is not clear, Coppard recommend the right beam up front.

Frequently Asked Questions: Spreader Beam Hire in Melksham, Wiltshire
Do I need a spreader beam for every lifting operation?
No. Spreader beams are used when a load needs support across multiple lifting points, or when a single point could damage or destabilise it. Coppard help work out whether a spreader beam is the right solution for your lift.
How do I choose the correct spreader beam?
The right beam depends on the load weight, the lifting point centres, the available headroom, and the crane in use. Give Coppard the load dimensions and site details and the most suitable beam is recommended before delivery.
Is certification supplied with the spreader beam?
Yes. Every beam comes with current inspection records and certification where required, with Safe Working Load information clearly marked. Lift planning and RAMS documentation can be provided as part of a contract lift.
How do I prepare my site before the equipment arrives in Melksham?
Clear the access route, check the ground conditions, and make sure the lifting area is ready. Look out for overhead cables, trees, underground services, and restrictions that could affect delivery or safe use. Site photographs and the project postcode help identify issues before delivery. The Health and Safety Executive sets out guidance on planning lifting operations.
