BELOW THE HOOK
G.W. Becker, Inc. is a distributor of overhead crane below-the-hook lifting devices.
Below-the-hook lifting devices are used in hoisting and rigging to provide a connection between the load being lifted and the crane. In addition they may attach, hold, protect, control and orient the load in the material flow process. They are independent of the crane, hoist, trolley and carrier hook. Samples of included equipment appear below.
Lifting Beams
Structurally able to handle the load through the beam spread allowing for lower headroom designs.
Spreader Beams
Designed to direct load to top rigging and hooks, requires a greater amount of headroom than a lifting beam.
Coil Handling

Sheet and Plate Handling
Specialized grabs or beams ideal for handling bundles of sheet or plate steel.
