Container beams from OX Worldwide

The container beams from OX Worldwide are an optimal solution for the transport and handling of containers.

Sea containers are usually loaded using rectangular container lifting beams that have a twist lock at each corner to attach them to the container. This means that the width of this lifting beam is exactly the same size as the load to be handled. This makes the lifting device incredibly heavy and bulky, which is particularly noticeable during loading or storage.

OX Worldwide’s container beams are less bulky and far more efficient as they consist of a single beam the width of the container. The slings or lifting chains are attached to the four lower attachement points of the lifting beam, which have a container hook on the side at the ends. These container hooks are only attached to the lower corners of the container.

Container beams from OX Worldwide with a load capacity of up to 35 t are in stock and can therefore be delivered at short notice (subject to prior sale).

This flexible system means that the same lifting beam can always be used, regardless of whether you have to load a 20′, 40′ or 40′ HC container.

In addition to this container beam, there are other types that can be considered depending on customer needs:

Lifting beam for rotating containers
Lifting beams with center of gravity adjustment
Lifting beams for quick-build containers

Advantages of container beams

We have taken a close look at the container beam and summarized the advantages for you:

Universally applicable
The container beam is suitable for 20′, 40′ and 40′ HC containers.
Easy and quick to use
The container beam consists of one piece and is therefore ready for immediate use. All you have to do is attach it into the crane hook at the top and the lower slings to the lifting beam and load and the container can be maneuvered.

The maximum capacity is 35 t.
Low own weight
In contrast to conventional container beams, this special lifting beam weighs only 500 kg due to its compactness.
One model for two lifting options
With the OX-DUPLO container beam you can carry out two different lifting options:
- with a central attachement point – with suspension ring and shackle, for minimal loss of height
- with attachement points at the side – with two-strand chain suspension, greater height required, but load hangs more stable in position
Short-term delivery
The Spanish manufacturer OX Worldwide has this container beam with a load capacity of up to 35 t in stock and can therefore deliver at short notice (subject to prior sale).

Alternative lifting solutions for containers

Alternatively, containers can also be moved with modular spreader beams, configured as a 1-over-2 lifting solution, or with a suitable spreader frame. Or use a practical, immediately usable multi lug beam.

These alternatives are ideal if you need to react flexibly to a wide variety of lifting requirements from your customers and can draw from a inventory of components. Thanks to the modular system, you can use existing struts over and over again.

Here you can see examples of the above 1-over-2-configuration as well as spreader frames or multi lug container beams:
