Lifting beams are made for a certain and limited set of sling angles A type of lifting beam made with the intent to spread the lifting slings. The slings are spread either to avoid contact with surrounding equipment, e.g. the load, or to reduce the stress in the lifted object. European Union directive concerning machinery and lifting equipment with main intent to ensure a common safety level Convention concerning Occupational Safety and Health in Dock Work DNV Standard for Certification No Lifting Appliances. A publication that contain principles, acceptance criteria and practical information related to the Society's consideration of objects, personnel, organizations, services and operations. DNV GL s standard for shipboard lifting appliances that provides requirements for certification and verification of lifting appliances intended for load handling within and outside vessel while in the harbour or in sheltered waters and within the vessel while at sea. DNV GL s standard for offshore and platform lifting appliances that provides requirements for certification and verification of cranes intended for load handling outside vessel while at sea (offshore cranes), and load handling onboard offshore units/installations (platform cranes). Lifting Operations (VMO Standard - Part 2-5) that provides specific guidance and recommendations for Engineered onshore, inshore and offshore lifting operations, conducted both in air and subsea. Standard for Portable offshore units that covers suitable requirements to portable offshore units (POUs), with respect to design, manufacturing, testing and certification. Standard valid for technical requirements to lifting appliances and lifting accessories on all fixed and floating installations, mobile offshore units, barges and vessels, as well as on land based plants where petroleum activities are performed. 3

5 3 DNV GL Type Approved Lifting / Spreader Beams COMPONENT OVERVIEW Centre module, mm Side module, mm Key benefits - Flexibility within lengths and loads / reusable - Multiple modules or single modules - Interchangeable components within each load range - End link options depending on your lift - Wire- or fibre slings compatibility - Suitable for subsea use - Painted according to NORSOK M-501 systems - Step by step user manual included with each delivery - Highly competitive prices and lead times - DNV GL Type Approved End forks End links Type C The Certex Lifting Beam with DNV GL Type Approval provides full flexibility and possibility to operate with different lengths and loads, all in one beam! End links Type D 4

6 Multi section Lifting Beam deliveries 3.1 Multi Section Beams This type of beam consists of multiple sections to each load range depending on the required length. The load range is from 1T 475 T with lengths of 1,5 m 15 m, providing you a large set of lifting options. One of the main purposes and key benefits of the multi section beams is the interchangeable components. Within its load range, modules/sections can be added or taken away to provide you with the flexibility in lengths that you need. 5

7 Single section Lifting Beam deliveries 3.2 Single Section Beams If flexibility in length is not an issue and your upcoming lift is limited to an operation with exact specified length and load, a single section option may be beneficial. The same components still apply, however the centre section is limited to one piece, reflecting the total length needed for your operation. Should you still see the need for interchangeable components even though you have already purchased the single section beam, there is no need to worry. The end forks and links are still interchangeable with the multi section beams and can easily be assembled with these components. The single-section lifting beams are designed using the same criteria as the multi-module beams, thus the same dimensions in height and width, the same shackle options and the same connecting bolts. 6

8 3.3 Shackles Shackles are optional with all deliveries. Our lifting beams are suited for use with standard bow shackles or wide body shackles. The required shackle sizes depend on the load of the beam, see illustrations on which shackle sizes to use for the corresponding beam below.

10 Our Workshop 3.4 Lifting slings and stock The lifting beam is intended for use with steel wire slings, fibre rope slings or chain slings. We produce and certify wire sling assemblies according to various applicable standards. We are type approved by DNV GL according to DNV Standard for Certification Our in house production facility provides fast and reliable sling production. With our 3700 T pressing machine, end terminations are performed on steel wire rope from 2 mm 144mm. In our workshop, there is also a test bench where proof load testing and break testing are carried out regularly. The capacity is 100T. From our stock, we keep approx articles with another articles from our total Certex-stock, which we also have access to. Our stock 9

11 3.5 Marking of beams A stainless steel marking plate with laser printed letters is attached to each lifting beam. The beams are also labelled with capital black letters. 3.6 Documentation options on beam deliveries Description Normal Enhanced option Declaration of conformity X X User Manual X X Form 4 Certificate X X Material Traceability List - X Material Certificates - X Dimension control reports - X Welding and NDT doc - X Proof load testing reports - X ILO Form 3 certificates - X Paint reports - X Weight reports - X Inspection and Test Plan - X The documentation packages are electronically sent to our customers as an MRB. 10

12 3.7 Regulations and compliance All Certex Lifting / Spreader Beams are designed to comply with the following standards and regulations: - Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC - ILO Convention DNVGL-ST-E273 Portable Offshore Units - DNV Standard for Certification No 2.22, Lifting Appliances - DNVGL-ST-0377 Standard For Shipboard Lifting Appliances - DNVGL-ST-0378 Standard For Offshore and Plaftorm Lifting Appliances - DNV-OS-H205 Lifting Operations - NORSOK R-002 Lifting Equipment 3.8 Certex Lifting / Spreader beam sets The Certex beams are assembled with a hinged connection in each end, which enables rotation around the bolt of the upper shackle as illustrated below. This functionality enables the beam to be used with a wide range of sling angles. 11

13 The Certex beams are named based on applicable class/regulations, end link options and loads, as illustrated below: Beam category CT1 Machinery Directive 2006/42/ EC X ILO 152 DNV Lifting Appl Class / Regulations DNVGL- ST-0377 DNVGL- ST-0378 DNV -OS- H205 NORSO K R-002 DNVGL- ST-E273 CT2 X X X X X X X CT3 X X X X X X X X Table 1 Overview on class / regulations compatibility Table 1 shows that by ordering a CT1 beam type, this will be applicable for use within the criteria of the Machinery Directive. This basically means that the beam can only be used if the lift is carried out by using a crane located on land or on a fixed installation / platform. This beam type cannot be used while operating from i.e. an offshore crane located on a floating vessel. At CERTEX NORWAY AS, we have the necessary expertise to guide you in terms of which certification level is applicable for your upcoming lift. 12

14 Lifting Capacity (Metric Tons) 3.9 Lifting / Spreader beam capacity As mentioned in 4.1, the beams are organised in three capacities, CT1, CT2 and CT3. Each capacity is divided into three ranges; one low range, one middle range and one high range. As shown by figure 1, each of the beams have a varying capacity dependent on length, all of which are tapering off at long lengths due to buckling. 500 CT1 CT2 CT Length of Spreader Beam (m) Figure 1 Capacity range of beams Length of Spreader Beam (m) Length of Spreader Beam (m) Each of the beams can be supplied with several types of end links as mentioned in previous chapters and as shown by table 2; either standard bow shackles or wide body shackles.
