2-POINT 34-METRIC TON SPREADER BEAM SYSTEM
The Caldwell Model DM34 Dura-Mod Modular Spreader Beam System is engineered for heavy-duty lifting applications that require flexibility, portability, and configurable beam spans. Its modular design allows users to assemble beam lengths from 3 to 32 feet using interchangeable spreader sections, end fittings, drop links, and bolt kits.
Designed to handle loads up to 34 metric tons, the DM34 system is ideal for manufacturing facilities, steel fabrication shops, construction projects, shipyards, and industrial maintenance. The knock-down design makes transportation and storage easier while allowing the beam to be configured for a wide range of lifting applications. Capacity is determined by beam span and sling angle using Caldwell's capacity charts.
