a device used for lifting and moving heavy beams or structural elements in construction and industrial settings
A beam lifter is a tool used to lift and position large beams or structural materials, often in construction or industrial settings. It typically consists of a lifting mechanism, such as a hydraulic system or a manual handle, and gripping arms that secure the beam during lifting. The lifter helps safely raise heavy beams from the ground to the required height, making it easier to install them into place without additional assistance. Beam lifters are designed to support large, heavy loads and are commonly used in tasks like building frameworks or handling steel beams.

- The beam lifter made it easier to safely position the large beams during the construction project.
- After securing the load, the workers operated the beam lifter to raise the beam to the correct height.
