pewag Inc.<\/a> has expanded U.S. stock of its Levo load balancer, which is used below-the-hook of a crane when the load has to be lifted horizontally or at a certain angle.<\/p>\n

The load balancer is available in 5t, 20t and 50t capacities, as standard, with an option of a special 100t capacity version. It is designed to tilt and rotate a load remotely, providing precise control and orientation during lifting. It offers 360\u00b0 tilting \/ rotation, making it ideal when a load must be positioned horizontally, at a specific angle, or manipulated in mid\u2011air for alignment.<\/p>\n

The pewag Levo load balancer can be used instead of cascading spreader beam setups when headroom is limited.<\/p><\/div>\n

The product is frequently used in the construction industry to position steel or concrete structures and bolted connections accurately, tilting and moving profiles in the air rather than on the ground or manually to reduce damage and labor. It provides remote-controlled tilting and rotation for safer load handling. It is an alternative to the more traditional method of using chain hoists or adjustable slings, both of which are more labor intensive and result in personnel having to be in contact with the load. A shackle and a drop chain are required to attach the balancer to a crane hook.<\/p>\n

The balancer is now available for rent and purchase from pewag Inc.<\/a>\u2019s specialist partners and distributors, which include rigging shops, lifting equipment supply houses, and rental fleets. End users include rigging and lifting professionals, alongside heavy lift planners; crane rental and specialist lifting companies; renewables installers; and industrial installation or machinery moving teams.<\/p>\n

Doug McElravy, sales operations manager at pewag<\/a>, said: \u201cThe load balancer delivers smooth, pinpoint load control in many scenarios. Complex lifts require safe remote placement and precise angle control. Precast, steel erection, and bolted connections require especially accurate placement. In renewable energy, proper orientation ensures safe and efficient operations, while controlled tilt helps alignment and reduces manual handling.\u201d\"\"<\/p>\n

Importantly, the load balancer can be used with many types of cranes, including tower, mobile, and electric overhead traveling (EOT) cranes. McElravy explained that it can be used wherever there is a compatible crane hook, adequate headroom, and a lift plan. Equally varied are the end-user marketplaces where loads frequently have to be lifted horizontally or at a certain angle:<\/p>\n
