Learn how to select the right lifting beam capacity by considering load weight, beam span, center of gravity, pick-point spacing, headroom, rigging, and Working Load Limit requirements for a safe and properly configured lift.

Spreader beams help maintain controlled spacing between pick points while managing sling geometry and load stability. Learn how fixed, telescopic, combination, and custom spreader beams differ, and what to consider when choosing the right beam for your lifting application safely.

Below-the-hook lifting equipment is used when rigging alone does not provide enough control over the load. This typically applies to lifts involving long spans, multiple pick points, or uneven load distribution where spacing and force direction need to be managed more precisely.

End caps are modular lifting components used with structural pipe to create custom-length spreader beams. They are commonly used in heavy lifting applications where fixed-span beams are costly, difficult to ship, or impractical to store. Tandemloc end caps are designed to solve these challenges while maintaining high safety standards.

Let's face it, moving heavy steel, concrete sections, or equipment modules is all about smart lifting. It’s about having gear you can trust when tons of hefty material are suspended above your crew. Tandemloc's end cap spreader systems are setting new standards for heavy lift operations, with customizable lengths, versatile options for pipe materials, and the help of our very own ‘End Cap App’ to select the perfect one for you.

When it comes to lifting shipping containers, the right equipment can make all the difference. Lift lugs, which attach to a container's corner fittings, are critical for secure handling. This guide will compare the two primary lift lug types from Tandemloc: Top Lift Lugs and Rotary Lift Lugs, highlighting their key features, differences, and benefits.
