Lifting beams are used to reduce
forces being applied to loads as a result of
non-vertical chains and straps.
This accessory is a beam which is extendible in length
and is modelled on a configuration with a
capacity of 20 tons. The review beam is in red (RAL
3002).
Packaging
This model comes in a small bag with the beam wrapped
in tissue and it includes a spare locking pin.

Detail
and Features
The two sections of beam are metal and painted well in a slightly
matt finish. There are no graphics applied.
The pins are plastic.
The beam is adjustable in length and can be pinned in a
large number of positions to suit the slinging of the load.
A variety of widths from 12 to 17cm can be achieved.
The two pieces slide very smoothly.
Quality
and Price
It is a well made metal item with a good finish although
it is relatively expensive.
Overall
This beam has good functionality and is a good accessory
for a crane model. It is highly recommended if you
do not mind the fairly high price.
