Designed and proven by Maxim, the Beam can make short work of what
would otherwise be a highly labor intensive and costly procedure.
Throughout all sectors of Industry, from Petrochemical, to Power, to
Commercial and beyond, Maxim’s clients have found that the Counter-Balance
Beam is a welcomed alterative.
The basic concept of the Counter-Balance Beam is to use variable
amounts of counterweight to offset the weight of the targeted lift. By traversing
the counterweight along the length of the beam the target item is smoothly lifted from its location.
Maxim’s answer offers their Clients tangible savings from an array of advantages:
DIRECT COST SAVINGS
Compared to optional methods that can include Structural and Civil
Engineering, structure modifications, material cost, untold man-hours, as
well as require the enlistment of a professional rigging contractor.
Maxim’s solution allows the item to be maneuvered as if there were no
overhead obstructions and is the key to cost reduction.
CLIENT OUTAGE / DOWN TIME
Conventional methods such as Bull Rigging or Jacking & Sliding plus the
prep & clean-up work can cost the client valuable production time.
A lift made with the Counter-Balance Beam takes relatively no longer than
it would have had direct crane access been available. When "Time is Money" the Beam is the answer.
SAFETY
"Potential Risk Exposure", a term known all to well to Owners,
Managers, and Safety Professionals, is drastically reduced when the Beam
is the answer. By requiring significantly fewer man-hours and in most
cases by totally avoiding the need to work in awkward positions or in locations
where risks are higher the Beam can save the ultimate.
ADAPTABILITY
Maxim’s belief of "What Ever It Takes" drives at the core of its Counter-Balance Beam. Rigging
ports can be fitted with trunions or structural beams and lift bails to accommodate rigging to most any size or shape of lift. Swivel links can
be used should the lift require rotation. By the nature of its design, project specific modifications are virtually limitless. Future plans call for fitting the Beam with the ability to reach its goal from elevations above the target’s location.
CONFIGURATIONS
Project logistics such as reach, weight, and obstructions determine which of many available configurations are most suitable to the task. The basic single Main Beam is 48 ft in length with a usable reach length of 30 ft. A 20 ft Extension Beam gives the ability to reach an item 50 ft from a crane’s lift point. Current lift capacities for the single Main Beam and Extension range from over 200,000 pounds at an 8 ft. reach to 30,000 pounds at a 50 ft. reach. The Double Beam configuration uses a twin set of Main and Extension Beams and affectively doubles the assembly’s lift capacity. The chain driven counter weights are powered by a 110 V electric motor and a hydraulic pump & gearbox. The counter weights can be positioned along the sides of the Beam and or suspended from beneath.
