Commerical Steel Beam Installation
Hooka Steel Beam Lifter
​
Steel beam installation presents one of the most awkward and toughest challenges found on construction sites. The Hooka makes light work of this due to its one of a kind design. Why waste your time on old techniques when the Hooka is available. Steel beam installation can be time consuming, dangerous and stressful. Tight spaces and exacting beam placement are just the start of the headaches when tackling the installation. In this situaution, the Hooka comes into its own league, unlike hoist and list cranes, the Hooka, combines a long extending arm with a stable platform to ensure the center of gravity is never compromised. You'll appreciate how easy it can be to install steam beams when the Hooka is used.
​
Perfect for Compact Sites
Every feature of the Hooka is designed to make underpinning and foundation work easier. From stability to strength, the Hooka excels as an I-beam lifter. At only 1.7 tonnes, it can lift a 1.5-tonne I-beam. You can work confidently, knowing it will do the job safely.
Additional features let you move, lift and install I-beams with precision and safety. The especially helpful I-beam Manipulation Head attaches to the crane jib, allowing accurate placement of an I-beam.
The trickiest placements become less daunting when the Hooka is on the job. Carrying steel beams to a multi-story car park? The Hooka combines a lift and carry crane with a tracked forklift to make precision placements of heavy beams. Even when there is little headroom at the site, Hooka’s compact size and weight capacity make it a perfect choice for the project.
Sometimes, moving beams from one area of a site to another can be more challenging than expected. For example, you may find yourself moving multiple I-beams over a plywood trackway. Hooka’s load-spreading capacity and relatively light weight are just the ticket for this situation. This machinery lets you start a job knowing that you can safely move the largest, heaviest beams where you need them.
Minimise The Risk Of Injury
I-beam installation has come a long way. These days, it’s not unusual for an I-beam to weigh more than a tonne. Before it’s time to lift a beam into place, builders have to move the beam to the point of construction. Years ago, contractors had to rely on muscle strength and a 200-kilogram Genie lift to move smaller I-beams from the roadside to the building site. Muscle strains and back injuries were commonplace.
With today’s massive beams, manual moving and lifting are out of the question. DBX steel beam mover offers a better way to move today’s heavier beams. Our tracked trolley assures stable I-beam transport, allowing you to spend more time completing the construction project and less time worrying about load stability.
