Design of purpose-built Heavy-Lift beams  

Our technical department is experienced in the design of all kinds of heavy lifting beams. Although we have a lot of designs from the shelf, we always try to design in close cooperation with our cus-tomer. Once the configuration is agreed we start with the engineering of the lifting beam. Taking into account all limiting parameters – i.e. own weight, cost, bending moments, lifting height, … – as de-termined during the conceptual phase we make the design as competitive as possible. We can design in accordance with the rules and regulations of all major classification societies such as DNV-GL, Lloyds Register of Shipping, Bureau Veritas, and (inter)national standards like CE and ASME. To do this we use 3D modeling and calculation programs such as Solidworks and Dlubal Rfem in addition to our inhouse developed calculation sheets.
