Offset lifting beams are used in the lifting industry to prevent the crane’s hoist ropes and hook block from touching buildings or structures.
So, when there are lifts to do that are very close to or underneath structures, offset lifting beams are a good solution.
The beam gets picked up at its centre, with the load at one end and ballast weights at the other end. This way, the load can get close to or under structures without the hoist ropes or hook block coming into contact.
